Family Practice

I've been reading "Family Practice -- God's Prescription for a Healthy Home." In it R.C. Sproul Jr.(editor), Elisabeth Elliot, and others "...explain what the Bible has to say to and about Christian families."

I enjoyed R.C.'s reminder of our calling as parents...
"We bear God's covenant children in obedience to that command... that we be fruitful and multiply. We raise these children as the center of the garden we have been given to cultivate, seeking by his grace to raise them in the training and admonition of the Lord. We are teaching them that this is what God has called them to do, to raise up godly seed to exercise dominion over God's creation."
