Zac Poonen - Making Our Children Into Arrows
Summary
Zac Poonen exhorts parents to view their children as arrows meant to be sharpened into warriors for Christ against Satan and sin. He emphasizes that parents have the responsibility to train children in godly character—holiness, humility, obedience, truthfulness, and respect—rather than worldly values like pride and wealth. When children are properly equipped as disciples of Jesus, they become instruments for God's glory in their generation and beyond.
