Bringing up children

Dads, you need to read this sermon by John Piper : "Raising Children Who Hope in the Triumph of God"

"Therefore I conclude that whatever else it means to bring our children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord == the King and Commander and Ruler of all things == it means this: bring the children up to hope in the triumph of God.

== Bring them up to find their place in the triumphant Cause of the Lord Christ.

== Bring them up to see everything in relation to the triumph of God.

== Bring up to know that the path of sin is a dead end street no matter how many cool and famous people are on it, because the cause of righteousness will triumph in the end. Christ has already struck the decisive blow on Good Friday and Easter morning."
