Do parents really know what they are doing? Some think they do - and don't really know others don't know and don't really know what to do about it.
I think the Bible has the answer - You'll never be an expert at parenting but expertise is NOT the point! Consider this quote by Kevin DeYoung:
I just know that the longer I parent the more I want to focus on doing a few things really well, and not get too passionate about all the rest. I want to spend time with my kids, teach them the Bible, take them to church, laugh with them, cry with them, discipline them when they disobey, say sorry when I mess up, and pray like crazy. I want them to look back and think, “I’m not sure what my parents were doing or if they even knew what they’re were doing. But I always knew my parents loved me and I knew they loved Jesus.” Maybe it’s not that complicated after all.
Yeah! It's really not that complicated. It may be difficult rather than easy but it is not complicated. Love God well and love your children to Him. That's the point of the new teaching series beginning May 22 called Parenting Isn't for Experts.
I hope to see you there!
