If you could do it all over again, what would you change?

Dr. Joel Beeke often encounters this thought-provoking question and shares his reflections on it.

Parents are encouraged to fulfill their responsibilities faithfully and trust that the Lord will fulfill His promises, ensuring the well-being and salvation of their children.
