From Generation to Generation - Richard J Rice - February 1979

Richard J Rice

Ask the average parent in God's Church to define his most important role in child rearing, and he will probably quote Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." No one can doubt the power, force and gravity of this scripture. To bring up our children to fear and reverence God is the greatest responsibility we've been given as parents. Yet, did you realize that our role reaches far beyond our immediate family, beyond the meaning and scope of the verse just quoted? There are other scriptures that teach us that we also are to be concerned with the development and education of future generations. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
