Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
You would have expected Paul, when he said something to parents, to say something like this: "now, parents, you make sure you discipline your kids and you make sure you keep your kids straight and you make sure you raise your kids right." But he didn't say that. He came at it from the other end. He said, "parents, you better make sure you don't exasperate your children so they do not lose heart."
In other words, Paul said, look don't be a negative influence on their lives, be a positive influence. Parents are to encourage their children to find God's will for their lives and to fulfill that will for God's glory.
