We cannot

keep our children

from making bad or ungodly choices

but we can

raise them

with

consistent training

godly example

deep love

and

great respect

so that making bad choices

especially ungodly choices

will be extremely difficult for them.

REMEMBER:  No parent does everything right – we are human!  But, we can apologize for mistakes, and it is never too late to love, set a good example, or respect our children – even when they make bad choices.

If you are a young person (or older) who wants to make wise choices, but struggle in that area because you were not raised with godly training, love, example, or respect.  I challenge you to reverse the last three principles by showing godly love, example, and respect (or the one that applies) to the parents or guardians who were responsible for raising you.
