It seems to me that in the raising
of children, we need to teach them the right way to live, that is, loving God
and loving neighbor, by both our words and our actions. Those two things need
to fleshed out though. The good use of time and the good use of money need to
be in there. What things are important, what things are okay, and what things
are sinful need to be articulated as well.
Our biggest struggle is recognizing
our own sins, dealing with those sins and not passing them onto our children.
Other issues include our children’s own sinful tendencies, the influence of
other Christians and ideas they have which we may not agree with, and the
influence of the world.
One thing that I have noticed is that the closer
something is to being "right", the more difficult it is to defend against
it.
