Gospel Powered Parenting
Training With Discipline and Affection The most effective parents keep it really simple. They focus on knowing God. Because they believe the Bible is sufficient for parenting, they ignore most modern advice about child raising. Instead, they set biblical ethical standards (Those are high standards). They teach and discipline their children to those standards. They lavish their children with love and affection. Last, they rest in the grace provided by the gospel.
