10 things I need to teach my sons




Ten Things I Need to Teach My Sons

To fear God - If I don't, the devil will teach him to hate God.



To guard his mind - If I don't, the devil will gladly teach him to have an open mind.



To obey his parents - If I don't, the devil will teach him to rebel and break his parents’ heart.



To select his companions - If I don't, the devil will gladly choose them for him.



To control his body - If I don't, the devil will teach him to give it over completely to lust.



To enjoy the marriage partner that God has given him - If I don't, the devil will teach him to destroy the marriage.



To watch his words - If I don't, the devil will fill his mouth with filth.



To pursue his work - If I don't, the devil will make his laziness a tool of hell.



To manage his money - If I don't, the devil will teach him to waste it on riotous living.



To love his neighbor - If I don't, the devil will gladly teach him to love only himself.
