    • "Parents, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4)

    • "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6)
  • Peer influence should be positive and Christlike.
    • "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion to fools suffers harm." (Proverbs 13:20)
  • Every teacher's pattern of life should be worthy of imitation.
    • "Everyone when he is fully taught will be like his teacher." (Luke 6:40)
  • Only God-centered education gives true wisdom.
