VICAR

Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine, I trust that You are well. The summer feels like it is really here and many congratulations to all Manchester City supporters who must be delighted with last night’s result.

No matter where we are on our spiritual journey, we all need guidance through life’s challenges. That goes for children too. As parents, we expect our children to follow God and walk the right path of life. But because of the temptation of the evil trends of the world, many children stray from God and are harmed by Satan.

So, how can we help our children? The Bible tells us clearly that learning God’s word and His ways at an early age will have lifelong benefits.

Ephesians 6:4

And, you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Colossians 3:21

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

1 Timothy 3:4

One that rules well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity.

There are plenty of courses and tips available from the churches. Please reach out for advice if You feel under pressure.

Have an excellent week and be well. God Bless You All.

O Lord God, we are your children, and as your children we pray to you in the name of Jesus Christ. You will hear us, and we look forward with joy to the time when all promises will be fulfilled, the time spoken about by the prophets, and especially by your Son, Jesus Christ. Be with us and gather us in your Spirit. Amen.
