children Came With Instructions
•“Fathers, do not
exasperate [or “provoke to wrath—Marshall] your children;
instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.”
(Eph. 6:4).
–Dads, not simply Moms, are
to take responsibility to “nourish” their children with
godly teaching, but not in an overbearing and cruel
way. A young child
is fairly defenseless.
•Mothers should speak
“with wisdom and faithful instruction” Prov. 31:26.
