Parenthood is the most important responsibility of our lives. Our children are our legacy, and they carry to future generations the great momentum we have created in them. This momentum can be good or bad, depending on how successful we are as parents. Children are truly like arrows shot from the bow of an archer. We must point them in the right direction if we want them to hit the mark and turn out to be the children of our intentions. Your child is going to be a blessing or a curse. They are going to be a Cain or an Abel. They are going to succeed or fail in a very difficult world. Raising Cain and Abel highlights the various opportunities you have as a parent to influence your children. It explores my perspective on God's intentions for parents. At the end of the day, you can't make life decisions for your child as they carry the torch on to future generations. I implore you to be a responsible parent. Give your child a chance. Teach them right from wrong. Clarify the moral compass God put in them. Love them without question. If you follow the parenting principles laid out in this book, you will have a much better chance of raising an Abel than a Cain. Your child will hit the mark and, in turn, point their children in the same direction. Understand that your influence on your children has eternal implications. You have an opportunity to share wisdom with them here on earth, but also an opportunity to open their eyes to God and His great plan for eternal salvation. May God bless you and your children for generations to come and throughout eternity.
