Ephesians 6:4-5 ESV
"Children Honoring Parents"

As parents, are we raising up our children in the way God desires us to? The greatest command parents have from God is to train and instruct our children so that their hearts are disciplined. Good questions to ask ourselves are: Is our home Christ-centered? Are we intentionally gospelizing our children? 

If our answers to these questions are "No," we should be aware that the world is actively instructing our children each day, the result of which will be spiritual obstacles placed in our children's path to God. So how can we nurture our children? Fathers should focus on encouraging their children's hearts rather than provoking them to anger; spend time with their children; discipline their children; and intentionally weave in the gospel into their everyday lives.

Ephesians 6:4-5
4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
