Today in chapel, my PhD supervisor, Dr. Jason Lee, presented a sermon on Ephesians 6:1-4.
"1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 'Honor your father and mother' (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 'that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.' 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." (Eph 6:1-4)
This sermon is one of the best I've ever heard on the issue of parenting. What is the aim of biblical parenting? In what ways are parents models of the Gospel to their children? What does it mean for children to obey "in the Lord"? What is at stake with this matter? Dr. Lee addresses these questions and more.
I strongly urge you to listen to this at your earliest convenience. I believe that regardless of one's marital or family status that the content of this sermon will be of great value to you now or in the future.
May God grant us His grace to honor and obey Him in order that He alone may receive glory and honor and praise.
Jonathan
