How to raise godly kids | Pastor Charlie Schaffer for Hammond Faith, Hammond, LA

If you want godly kids, raise them.

Nobody accidentally raised godly kids.

And we believe that the parents bear the sole responsibility.

Not the children's pastor
youth pastor
senior pastor
teacher
principal
coach
or anyone else.

Parents.

So if you want godly kids, follow what Scripture commands:

  1. Fathers, take the lead (Eph 5.23).

  2. Mothers, learn from your husband (I Cor 14.35).

  3. Both parents, invest wisdom into your children (Prof 1.8-9).

  4. Teach them in every moment about God (Deut 6.6-9, 20-25).

  5. Train them in the way they should go—the way God wants them to go (Prov 22.6).

  6. Point them at the target of Christlikeness like an archer aims his arrow (Ps 127.4).

It's simple, not easy.

But obedience to God's Word is always the right choice.
