Applied Gospel

Jerry Bridges on Biblical Parenting

I was riding in the car with Jerry Bridges and asked for some advice on parenting.  Here were some words of wisdom from a saint who has walked with the Lord for decades.  He said,

I don’t usually have much to say regarding parenting.  But I would give these three pieces of advice:

  1. Pray for your children regularly.
  2. Model Christ and the Gospel for your children.
  3. Instruct them in the Gospel regularly.

…in that order.

The words are simple, but profound.  I don’t think I’ve read or heard a better summary of biblical parenting.
