Where Character Begins in Children

Christ didn't live and die just to offer us salvation.  He came to teach us character through demonstrating a lifestyle that pleases God. It is through His example that we can learn how to live, even if we've had really bad parents on this earth.  So, there's no excuse for parents not to be a good example of strong character to their children.

Very good thoughts by Mark Gregston.  Read the whole article here.
