Buddy and Max, what a pair!!!!!!!!!!!!
As an umpire stood behind the plate at a girls softball game, he heard a players mother start chanting: We want a new ump! We want a new ump! Soon, other parents took up the chant. The ump smiled, then turned toward the crowd and yelled, I want new parents! I want new parents! The heckling died away.
Its important for parents to set a good example, because their children are watching them. Christian parents can encourage good habits and behavior by doing things like:
Praying for and with themso they learn how to talk with God. Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it (Col. 4:2).
Reading and teaching them the Bibleso they learn Gods truth. Teach [Gods commands] diligently to your children, . . . talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up (Deut. 6:7).
Telling them about Jesusand leading them to faith in Him. Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).
The best way to set a good example for our children is to live out our faith in front of them. While theyre lookingtheyre learning about what matters most.
Read: Deut. 11:18-21
