3. Quote
4. Events
5. Book Recommendation

Grace and Peace to you.

As week 19 begins, let us reflect on the calling to nurture and guide the next generation in faith. Inspired by Ephesians 6:4, this week’s focus encourages fathers and mentors to seek God’s wisdom in becoming godly examples, intentionally discipling and supporting the children entrusted to their care. Consider practical ways to strengthen this vital role, fostering spiritual growth and lasting faith in the lives of young ones.

Prayer: 

Lord, teach me to be a godly father, nurturing my children in faith. (Ephesians 6:4)

Meditation: 

Consider ways you can better disciple and guide the children in your life.

Quote:

Parents! It is in your hands to do your children the greatest kindness, or cruelty, in all the world! Help them to know God and to be saved, and you do more for them than if you helped them to be lords or princes. If you neglect their souls, and breed them in ignorance, worldliness, ungodliness, and sin; you betray them to the devil, the enemy of souls, even as truly as if you sold them to him! You sell them to be slaves to Satan! You betray them to him that will deceive them and abuse them in this life, and torment them in the next! – Richard Baxter (1615-1691)

Book Recommendation:

Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family   by Paul David Tripp

Paul David Tripp’s Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family is a transformative guide that shifts the focus of Christian parenting from behavior management and technique to a gospel-centered vision. Rather than offering a checklist of strategies, Tripp urges parents to see themselves as God’s ambassadors, called to reflect His grace and shepherd their children’s hearts, not just their actions.

In His Service,
GraceMen
