Train the child . ( Isaiah 55 v 11 )

 Proverbs 22 v 6, tells us, 'Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. '.First of all we see our responsibility to train our children in the things of God,I look everyday and I see children going to school,to be taught,not in the things of God,but how few there are ,who are trained in the things of God. I was talking to a young man recently, he had never gone to  church,never been to Sunday school,he did not know anything about God.Believers must teach their children in the things of .They must teach them the Bible,teach them how to become a Christian, and how to be a Christian.,and the promise they will not turn from it,It may when they are older as Charles Bridges writes,'Cast the bread upon the waters of the covenant is found, not till 'a, though after many days''( Eccles 11 v1)  ,perhaps not till the godly parent has been laid in the grave. Yet the fruit ,though late,will not be less sure ( Hab 2 v 3 )
