No doubt some parents believe they aren’t good teachers because some outsider has already told them, “You aren’t qualified.” This objection finds a foothold only because we yet hold on to the world’s goals. What are we aiming for?

I know that because the King keeps giving me servants to raise. What does it take to raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord? The Bible, and the Holy Spirit to illumine the Bible.
