This document discusses the importance of parenting according to God's word. It emphasizes that families are under attack today and parents need guidance. The key points made are: 1) Parents should fulfill God's desire in Malachi 4:6 to restore relationships between parents and children. 2) Children are a gift from God and parents must know their unique needs, teach them, and not provoke them. 3) Parenting is a process that takes time and diligence to train children in God's ways so they do not depart from it.
