[B]Woodrow Kroll:[/B] All of these affect the way young men think. But the most profound influence doesn't come from any of these. The most profound and lasting impact on a young man's life comes from, are you ready for this—his mom. That's right. Sir James Barrie once said, "The God to whom little boys say their prayers has a face very much like their mother's."
The Bible demonstrates this truth. In 2 Timothy 3:15, the apostle Paul observes that Timothy knew the Scriptures "from childhood" because of the influence of his godly mother, Eunice.
Maybe you're wondering today if you'll make an impact on your son, especially in light of the things that surround him. Teach him God's Word and he'll be influenced in ways you could never dream of.
The Bible is full of stories about godly mothers. Have you read any of them lately? Encourage yourself by reading God's Word. |
