"Jesus commanded us to 'make disciples' (Matthew 28:19), and that certainly includes children. Paul, using the language of discipleship, commanded fathers concerning their children to 'bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord' (Ephesians 6:4). Discipleship is not a responsibility you can put off or turn over to someone else. It is a biblical priority.

That is why your responsibility to disciple your children is so foundational to your responsibility to educate them. If you desire to teach your children effectively, their hearts must first be turned to God.

Remember that God is with you on your journey of Christian parenting, and he wants more than anything for you and your children to enjoy his company along your path. Home discipleship is an exciting and rewarding journey on the path of life with your children."
