Zac Poonen - What Parents Should Teach Their Children
Summary
Parents are responsible for teaching their children to honor and obey their parents, as this is the first commandment with a promise of a long life. Since the natural tendency of children is to be rude, parents must actively correct and teach respect, just as one teaches mathematics. Furthermore, parents should bring their children to church to acknowledge that the child is a gift from God to both the family and the church community.
