The fundamentals of a home with godly authority

Loading player...
If ever we are to have children who go on to love God wholeheartedly, it will not

place to see this is the key parenting text of the New Testament, Ephesians 6:1-4.

grace. We need both – not just authority, or the home becomes cold and people lose
joy and hope. And not just grace, because then the home becomes permissive,
without clear boundaries and limits and consequences. Godly authority and grace
