Faith for the Family
The most powerful people on Earth aren't politicians or CEOs—they're parents of faith. In a stirring message from Adrian Rogers, the story of Moses’ parents, Amram and Jochebed, becomes a blueprint for raising children with eternal purpose. They didn’t just believe in God—they saw their son as a divine appointment, defied Pharaoh’s death decree by hiding him, and took bold action to protect him. Rogers argues that parenting isn’t passive trust but a spiritual warfare requiring vision, valor, venture, and victory. He warns of the dangers facing families today—liberal churches, humanist education, and hedonistic culture—and calls parents to actively train their children in biblical values. The key? Instilling a heart that evaluates life not by worldly pleasures but by eternal rewards. When children internalize that the 'reproach of Christ' is greater wealth than Egypt’s treasures, they’ll choose faith over comfort. The ultimate goal? To raise children who, like Moses, endure unseen forces because they’ve seen the invisible God. Rogers shares personal stories—his own prayer to be a good father, his son’s early passion for missions, his other son’s musical gift—to show how every child is uniquely designed. He emphasizes that training isn’t just teaching, but shaping through example, discipline, and prayer. He uses the metaphor of a bathysphere: without internal pressure, it collapses under external force.
Parents of faith see their children as divine appointments, not just biological outcomes.
Faith without action is dead—true faith requires bold, practical steps like hiding Moses or training children daily.
Evaluate your child’s values by asking: Is the reproach of Christ greater than the pleasures of sin?
Train children through example, discipline, and consistent exposure to biblical truth—not just occasional lessons.
The greatest danger isn’t external temptation but internal emptiness—children need inner spiritual pressure to withstand life’s crushing weight.
