My wife and I are continuing to read through William Farley's book "Gospel-Powered Parenting" in preparation for welcoming our first child into the world and by God's grace leading him to become a life-long follower of Christ. And so I thought I would post Farley's Seven Ways in which the Gospel Affects Parents and the corresponding chapters (p. 46-48):
1. The gospel teaches Christian parents to fear God (chapters 3-5)
2. The gospel motivates parents to lead by Example (chapter 6)
3. The gospel centers families in their male servant leaders (chapter 7)
4. The gospel teaches and motivates parents to discipline their children (chapters 8-9)
5. The gospel motivates parents to teach their children (chapter 10)
6. The gospel motivates parents to lavish their children with love and affection (chapter 11)
7. The gospel is the solution for inadequate parents (chapter 12)
If you're a parent or hope to be so one day, "Gospel-Powered Parenting" is a must read.
By God's Grace, Jeff
