Shalom Kingdom citizens,

Nothing is more valuable for a father than his descendants: his children and grandchildren. The Word of God says that the glory of the children is their parents, but the pride of a grandfather, like me, is his grandchildren. Therefore, the Word of God in Proverbs 22:6 teaches, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Life is a journey, from a child to an adult and then a parent. The word used here is “zaqen” meaning an old person with grey hair and wisdom. The silver-haired head that is found in the way of righteousness is a crown of glory (Proverbs 16:31). Beloved brothers & sisters, the word “train” refers to “discipline.” Thus, it is very wrong if the parents give away his children’s education to teachers, Sunday school teachers or youth leader, etc. A father must be like Abraham.
