Who Has the Hearts of Your Children?

| by

By guest author Norm Wakefield

In the past months, I have received the troubling news of four young people who have left their homes without the blessing of their parents. I wish this were an isolated incident; however, such occurrences seem to be on the rise. We might expect children of parents who are unbelievers, wrapped up in furthering their own selfish agendas, to make a bolt into premature independence.

But these young people I know have bolted from parents that have a sincere love for their children and a commitment to train them in God’s ways.

Lessons Through Gardening

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

There is no secret formula to homeschooling success.  It would be nice if there were.  One reason for this lack of specificity is that God will have no other gods before Him, even His own principles. This is why we are to seek God above all else. Yes, we read books. Yes, we listen to podcasts. Yes, we go to conventions.

These things, however, are not an end in themselves. Instead, they are designed to point us to Jesus.

Dad's Corner

Guest post by Kevin Swanson

Have you ever had the sinking feeling that something precious to you is slipping away? It’s the feeling you get when your wedding ring slips off at the beach, and you watch in horror as a retracting current pulls it back into the surf, lost forever. There have been moments in my life where I sensed that I was losing the heart of one of my children. Times like these call for action framed in wisdom. Here are a few thoughts that I have found helpful to capturing or re-capturing the hearts of our children.
