Space Scouts You, fathers, ... bring [your children] up in the training and admonition of the Lord. — Ephesians 6:4 Many of the first astronauts were once Boy Scouts. The scouts were good at capturing the imagination of young boys and instilling discipline to reach their goals — even if it meant reaching for the stars. On July 20, 1969, the Boy Scouts were busy celebrating at a conference. During the gathering, the scouts were delighted to hear from former Eagle Scout Neil Armstrong, who sent them greetings from space. One of their own had grown up to realize a wonderful dream! | |
In some ways, the Christian home can be like a loving, spiritual scout camp. The Bible encourages parents to provide a positive growth environment for children in the home. Parents are exhorted to “bring [children] up in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4). “To bring up” refers to nourishing children by providing resources for their physical, mental, and spiritual needs. “Training” includes concern about all aspects of a child’s development. And “admonition” speaks of providing direction by well-chosen words uniquely suited to each child. | |
Let’s strive to make our home a place where loving discipline enables the children in our charge to reach their potential for God’s glory. — Dennis Fisher They are buds of hope and promise, Possessed by Him whose name is Love; Lent us here to train and nourish For a better life above. — Crosby What you put into your children’s hearts today influences their character for tomorrow. PRAISE GOD BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD Tweet |
