Fathers, If You Fail to Teach Your Children the Devil Will

By August 20, 2011July 1st, 2019Blog, Christian Parenting, Family Worship

Girl Reading BibleIf you fail, father, to teach your son to fear God, the devil will teach him to hate God. If you fail to teach your son to guard his mind, the devil will gladly teach him to have an open mind. If you fail to teach your son to obey his parents, the devil will teach him to rebel and break his parent’s heart. If you fail to teach your son to select his companions, the devil will gladly choose them for him. If you fail to teach your son to control his body, the devil will teach him to give it over completely to lust. If you fail to teach your son to enjoy the marriage partner that God has given him, the devil will teach him to destroy the marriage. If you fail to teach your son to watch his words, the devil will fill his mouth with filth. If you fail to teach your son to pursue his work, the devil will make his laziness a tool of hell. If you fail to teach your son to manage his money, the devil will teach him to waste it on riotous living. And if you fail to teach your son to love his neighbor, the devil will gladly teach him to love only himself.

Top Christian Parenting Books for Training Your Children

While there are literally hundreds of Christian parenting books, these are by far some of the very best. I tried to give a few of these titles “5 Stars” but the reality is they are ALL 5 Star books – highly recommended.  I hope they are a blessing to you!
