If you’re a parent, trying to raise your kids in a godly home… you probably know this verse from Proverbs: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.

That verse from Proverbs may strike a nerve for you… especially if your teen has made some bad decisions… and wandered from the faith. But it wasn’t given as an indictment of parents and their effectiveness.

No. It’s an encouragement for parents to be intentional about spiritual things. Build godly principles and precepts into your kids’ lives… and God will be faithful to care for your kids.

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
