The family is a divine institution, ordained and honored of God since the beginning of time. Children are very precious in the eyes of the Lord. They are a gift from God; Children are a heritage of the Lord, committed by Him to their parents for care, protection, and training for His glory. It is the duty of every parent to recognize this obligation and solemn responsibility to both God and the child in this matter.

The parents must recognize the sacredness of their charge, and with all sincerity accept their responsibility for the nurture and admonition of this child in the ways of righteousness and godliness.
