You can't trust dogs to watch your food. Puppies have bad breath even after eating a tic tac. Never hold a dust-buster and a cat at the same time. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is a light and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life. Spiritual Nurture God's Word is never one-sided.
Parents have a duty here also.
In a culture where children could be sold into slavery if the parents wished, suddenly the parents are called to behave themselves toward their children as to the Lord. When I started my ministry, I used to have a lot of advice on parenting. Then I became a parent. I have found that parenting is both the most wonderful and the most frightful task on earth. I now know that nearly all parents feel they have failed in some way from being the kind of parent they dreamed of becoming.
