Teach your children well..

August 2, 2008

2 Kings 21:1-3 GNB
(1) Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. His mother was Hephzibah.
(2) Following the disgusting practices of the nations whom the LORD had driven out of the land as his people advanced, Manasseh sinned against the LORD.
(3) He rebuilt the pagan places of worship that his father Hezekiah had destroyed; he built altars for the worship of Baal and made an image of the goddessAsherah, as King Ahab of Israel had done. Manasseh also worshiped the stars.


Why do kids not follow the examples of their parents. I am sure there are a number of reasons. We will never know why in this case. But as you mature and become a parent, or if you are one now, know that all of your children will follow God the way you expect them to. Some may exceed you and some may not. All you can do is train them the best you can. They still have free will.
