Youth that will serve the next generation needs spiritual instruction!

In Ephesians 6:4, the apostle Paul wrote by inspiration of the Holy Spirit:

"And you ,fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord."

In Ecclesiastes 12:6-7,   the wise man Solomon wrote by the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit,"Remember your creator before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher shattered at the well.Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the Spirit will return to God who gave it.'

 In verses 13 and 14, he wrote, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing, whether good or evil."

Again, Paul writing in 2 Corinthians 5:10: "For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according  to what he has done, whether good or bad."

With all of this before us, and the great provision that God has made for us in Christ, we see the importance of permitting the Holy Spirit and using the Word to guide us in the task of giving our children Spiritual training.
