A Cotton Mather Inspired Question {contest!}
I was thumbing through Cotton Mather’s A Family Well Ordered and I came across this:
Parents, with a sweet authority over your children, rebuke them for and restrain them from everything that may prove prejudicial to their salvation.
The charge to restrain them from “everything that may prove prejudicial to their salvation” is pretty loose. My question to you is: What are we as Christians failing to restrain our children from that we ought to be? Is it public schools? Home schools? Irrelevant preaching? An anemic gospel?
Let me know in the comment section below. I’ll choose one commenter at random to win a copy of Mather’s book on Friday.
