Teaching the next generation to be wise and healthy & highly regarded

Train up a child in the way he should go,

Even when he is old he will not depart from it.  Proverbs 22:6 (NASB)

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.  Ephesians 6:4 (NIV)

Equipping the next generation is a God guided journey

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Luke 2:52 (NIV)

My son, do not forget my teaching,

But let your heart keep my commandments;

For length of days and years of life

And peace they will add to you.

Do not let kindness and truth leave you;

Bind them around your neck,

Write them on the tablet of your heart.

So you will find favor and good repute

In the sight of God and man.  Proverbs 3:1-4 (NASB)

Equipping the next generation means:

1. Teaching them to be wise and healthy 

2. Mentoring them to be pleasing to God and to be highly regarded by others.
