“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Pro 22:6)

The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ (Gal 3:24) and was written for our learning. (Rm 15:4)

“Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:” (Deut 11:18-20)

As the parent of the house you are responsible for your children and bringing them up in the nourishing and admonition of the Lord. For this to take place you yourself must also know the Word of God and be a living example of that Word and not a hypocrite.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.” (Col 3:16-21)

Notice carefully that your spouse comes before your children. A house divided can not stand. Your child should not be pitting you against your spouse and you should not be allowing it. Your first responsibility is to put the Lord Jesus Christ first, then your spouse, and then your children.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Tim 2:15) “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” (1 Peter 3:15)

This requires you to be studying the Word of God, applying the Word of God in your life, and then instructing others in the way of righteousness.
