They are eager to spout the latest child psycho-babble that they have read or heard about letting the child find their own way in life. But we are instructed that as parents, we have the God-given responsibility to rear our children in His ways according to His Word. B. Timothy's faith was a direct result of being taught the Word of God. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Education is important, to be sure, but children need to be instructed in the Word of God.
Spiritual illiteracy is rampant in today's society.
God's Word is clear concerning our responsibilities. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. A Faith that is Real. A. Remember Paul described Timothy's faith as being 'unfeigned'. That means it was a real faith, not phony.
