Training Our Children To Use Godly Communication

Remember that song as a child that encouraged Godly living and went something like this, "Oh be careful little mouth what you say, oh be careful little mouth what you say, for the Father up above is looking down with love, Oh be careful little mouth what you say!" The song went on to talk about what we watch, what we hear and what we think. I am going to focus primarily on what we say. Part of being a Christian parent is teaching and training our children how to communicate with words in a Godly way. 

Whiter Than Snow

When the snow arrived on a recent Saturday morning, it was a refreshing sight. Our children desired more than anything to go outside and play in the snow. They started talking about all the things they were going to do, even eat it! We cautioned them about not eating the first snow since it acts as a cleansing agent against the pollution in the air. This reminded me of how Jesus acts as the cleansing agent against the pollution of sin within our hearts and minds.
