Fear God, and give glory to Him
The Beginning of Wisdom
by Peter Hoover
Our children's minds, like clay that is still soft, get molded into one shape or another. Nothing -- neither the devil nor God -- will completely change that shape after they are grown.
And no one, neither the devil nor God, nor anyone other than ourselves, gets first chance to mold their minds when they are young. That opportunity, that awesome God-given duty, lies with us. Let us mold them well.
"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house."
Do you tell your children that this is Noah and his wife?
"By faith Abraham . . . looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
Do you tell your children this is Abraham?
"By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning this to come."
Do you tell your children this is Isaac and Rebekah with their twin boys?
"By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season."
Do you tell your children this is Moses?
"You are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone."
Do you tell your children this is Jesus with the twelve apostles?
