Stewardship of Children
As parents, we are tasked with the stewardship of our children. Our children are not our own, but God’s. Ultimately, our children are a gift to us to steward for God’s glory. Our children belong to God, and it is our responsibility to point them to God.
Providing a quality education to our children is part of our stewardship. Faithful education should point to God as the author of Truth and Knowledge. These Bible verses for homeschool moms focus on how we are called to steward our children for God and point them to the Father.
