What is your goal in raising your children? Is it for them to be successful? What is required of us as parents?

When parents don’t spend a lot of time with their children individually, [...]

What Good is a Parent?
With the quality of Christian education and Church Sunday school, what good is a parent? I certainly hope no one asks this question. No one has more potential to influence the heart of a child, than a parent. The average parent spends 3,000 hrs a year with a child. Don’t leave this time untapped.
