Ten things to teach sons
This was emailed to me twice today from two different people and I thought I would share it here for those who have not seen it. May we seek to raise our sons and daughters to the glory of God! There is no greater work we can do!
Ten Things I Need to Teach My Sons
To fear God - If I don't, the devil will teach him to hate God.
To guard his mind - If I don't, the devil will gladly teach him to have an open mind.
To obey his parents - If I don't, the devil will teach him to rebel and break his parents heart.
To select his companions - If I don't, the devil will gladly choose them for him.
To control his body - If I don't, the devil will teach him to give it over completely to lust.
To enjoy the marriage partner that God has given him - If I don't, the devil will teach him to destroy the marriage.
To watch his words - If I don't, the devil will fill his mouth with filth.
To pursue his work - If I don't, the devil will make his laziness a tool of hell.
To manage his money - If I don't, the devil will teach him to waste it on riotous living.
To love his neighbor - If I don't, the devil will gladly teach him to love only himself.
