Parenting Resources

I just read an important article by Dr. Russell Moore, The Eschatology of Parenting. The article stresses the importance of disciplining children. Another helpful resource for parenting is Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp. Both sources remind us that a parent's goal should not be on behavior modification, but on change of heart. We must not forget the fallenness of humanity as we rear our children, nor should we forget the role of grace. As Dr. Moore reminds us, the goal of discipline is to prepare the heart for the gospel. If the Lord disciplines the ones he loves, what does it say about us if we don't discipline our children?
