The House that God Builds
The Bible often speaks about how parents are to view and treat the children the Lord has graciously given them. The most familiar passages that speak to this important relationship are Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 5–6. But a passage of Scripture that is often overlooked regarding this theme is Psalm 127, which is centered on parenting children. Join Tom Pennington as he considers this great psalm and the responsibility that parents have with The House that God Builds.
Part 1
This psalm addresses God’s sovereignty and providence as it relates to individual families and how God is directly involved in building and growing them. For us, as God’s people, this psalm is a powerful reminder that children are a gift from the Lord and that our families are to be centered on and used for the glory of God.
Part 2
The Bible teaches that all parents will give an account to God for how they viewed and trained their kids. As Christians, we have a responsibility before the Lord to be faithful stewards with the children that He has entrusted us with. And we do so by understanding what the Bible says about parenting and then implementing such truths in the lives of our family.
