Zac Poonen - Bringing Up Children Aright
Zac Poonen · Sep 20, 2015
The speaker emphasizes that the church should function as a family, and parenting Christian children requires understanding their spiritual significance. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and Psalm 127, he argues that children are gifts from God, meant to be trained as 'arrows' for spiritual warfare against Satan. The goal is to teach children to praise God from a young age so that the enemy's mouth will be shut.
