WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT…CHILD TRAINING continued
By J. Richard Fugate
Continued from the introduction: [This book] is unique in that the subject is handled solely from the Biblical viewpoint. The author accepts the Bible as absolute truth and as infinitely superior to any human system of thinking. There has been no attempt to modify God’s Word to make it compatible with human philosophies, psychology, sociology, religious views, or public opinion. God’s Word is accepted as is, without human adulteration. The Bible is also accepted as living and powerful information that is as relevant today as in the day when it was first revealed.
The Cursing
Proverbs 10:1b “…a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.”
Proverbs 17:21 “He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow; and the father of a fool hath no joy.”
Proverbs 29:15b “…a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.”
These examples of cursing for parents reveal the sorrow and heartache they experience as their child rebels in his teens and early twenties. This cursing continues as the parents observe their child experiencing intense pressure as a result of his attempting to live a selfish and willful existence. They see his self-centered attitude affect his education, career, marriage, and family – eventually destroying what could have been a productive life. Thus the children themselves become the instruments of cursing to their own parents.
Many thousands of parents today are observing the failures of their grown children with this kind of sorrow in their hearts. Perhaps nothing fosters more grief in good, moral parents than seeing their children totally rebel against everything for which those parents stand.
For those of you who have already experienced this sadness through your grown children, we sorrow with you. This book has been written to assist parents in avoiding the pain you have suffered,
Training children is not a hit-or-miss proposition in which the parent has no control. It is not that some children just turn out okay while others may not. There is no such thing as a “bad seed.” Even though a child could conceivably reject all attempts to train him properly, he would have to choose clearly against what he knows to be right. Even the one who rebels against good child training is likely to return to a productive life after his period of rebellion.
God has provided His truth to enable every parent to receive blessing rather than cursing. It is the responsibility of each mother and father to seek this truth and then to apply it in training their children. Even if you have failed miserably up to now, you can still affect your child’s future by committing yourself to God’s way. It ordinarily takes a full nineteen years to raise either a fool or a wise child. However, it is possible (with God’s grace) to reverse twelve to thirteen years of fool raising and to start the child on the right path within the remaining six or seven years. To accomplish this feat will require an understanding of and a commitment to God’s viewpoint on child training.
Properly training a child is the maximum expression of true love that a parent can give their child. No amount of material benefits parents could ever give a child can take the place of truly caring enough for him to train him. If you really love your child, train him; you and he both will receive the blessings that are promised by God.
