Bible Question (short): parental responsibility and serving |
Question (full): I am frustrated with parents who rely on the church for all of their children's discipleship, and I'm also frustrated with people who do not live the life by serving others. I want to encourage parents to take an active role in discipling their children and I want to encourage people, especially families, to be doers of the Word. I am looking for scriptures to encourage the parents as their children's primary discipler and on how to disciple their children, as well as scriptures to encourage individuals and families to serve others in the church and in their community. Could anyone offer specific verses that I might use to teach, encourage, and admonish others in this area? |
