Raising Godly Children


Listen Later

What happens when we neglect to spiritually nourish our children? The enemy already has a plan. In this powerful exploration of biblical parenting, we uncover the sacred responsibility of raising godly seed in a world pulling our children in countless directions.

Drawing from the imagery of a potter shaping clay, we examine how children are most moldable during their formative years—an opportunity that, once passed, may never return. Like wet sponges, they absorb everything around them. Will they absorb God's Word or the world's values? The choice largely rests with parents.

The message dives deep into five essential aspects of godly parenting: modeling authentic faith rather than mere religious talk; saturating our homes with Scripture that equips children to recognize sin; implementing loving discipline that teaches obedience; avoiding provocations that foster rebellion; and honoring each child's unique design or "natural bend."

Through biblical examples like Salome (mother of James and John) and cautionary tales like Jezebel, we witness the lasting impact of maternal influence. Perhaps most moving is the account of Hudson Taylor's mother, whose fervent prayers coincided with her son's conversion 70 miles away—a powerful reminder that when physical presence fails, a mother's prayers can still envelop her children with supernatural protection.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or someone who influences children, this message will transform how you view your role in shaping the next generation of believers. What future missionaries, leaders, and faithful disciples sit in your home today, waiting for you to nurture the seeds God has planted?
