8. Raising Godly Children -- Zac Poonen -- March 1, 2009
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2023
The central message is that raising children is a sacred trust from God, requiring faith from parents, similar to how Moses' parents protected him. The speaker emphasizes that every child is a gift from God, and parents must treat their children as such, recognizing that receiving a child in Jesus' name is equivalent to receiving Christ. Furthermore, while children teach us humility, the process of raising them requires continuous prayer and discipline to overcome sin's nature.
