(for believers)
We are setting the standard of a right worldview and godly behavior for our children.
We need to make sure that we set the right course and that we keep to it.
We need to check our compass (the Holy Spirit) and our chart (the Holy Bible) to make sure of our course, every day, every moment.
First, start your voyage by setting your course by God's coordinates and God's plan.
Second, adjust your course along the way, by making changes when they are needed.
(Remember, the daily winds and currents, as well as the storms of life, tend to change our course, and spiritual pirates want to rob us of our treasure and scuttle our vessel).
Do not take your responsibility lightly.
Do not be settle for a voyage which started well.
Make whatever changes are necessary to help your children see the truth and follow it, because stormy seas of adversity will roll in on them, like a rogue wave, and society's moral darkness will obscure the light, like a tsunami from hell.
Our children need to learn from our example, as well as our words, that Jesus is the Light of our life and the Rock of our salvation.
