Yesterday I attended an open house for some dear friends who were celebrating their 60^th wedding anniversary. Perhaps the most amazing feat that this faithful Christian couple has accomplished in their years together is raising 6 children who are all faithful, productive Christians. In this world where God gives people freedom of choice and where the devil gives people so many opportunities to make bad choices, not many parents can point to such a track record.

3 John 4 says, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” The apostle John was elated to know that his spiritual sons and daughters were remaining faithful to Jesus Christ. Christian parents today have no greater desire than to have their children follow Jesus. If you can say that your children are all obedient to the Lord, you are truly blessed!
