Frequently Asked Questions

Does Proverbs 22:6 guarantee my child will follow God?

Proverbs are general wisdom principles, not unconditional guarantees. Training a child in God's ways gives them the strongest possible foundation. While each child ultimately makes their own choices, faithful parenting creates an environment where faith is most likely to take root and flourish.

How do I teach my children about God?

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 provides the model: 'Teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way.' Integrate faith naturally into daily life — at meals, bedtime, during drives, and through everyday conversations.
