With last Sunday being Father’s Day, I wanted to include some ideas that I shared in my sermon yesterday. If you are a parent or grandparent, the post below details several of the specific and intentional values that I’m trying to imbed in my boys’ life. I would commend to you the books referenced and the values listed as a defining point for you being intentional about parenting and grand-parenting.
Excerpt From Chris' Blog Titled Intentional Parenting
"Last year, I read Jon Tyson’s book, The Intentional Father. Tyson writes about raising sons with courage and character in a world whose values are often in direct competition to biblical values. As a father of two sons, his book challenged and convicted me.
Our children are learning so many things from the culture around them. Most of the technologies that we interact with are simply not neutral. See Jonathan Haidt’s book The Anxious Generation. The values of the culture are more often shaped by the “prince of this world” (Ephesians 2:2) than they are the Bible’s values. These realities convicted me to be more intentional about what I’m teaching my sons."
