In 2006, Sinclair Ferguson gave two lectures in Greenville, SC on the subject of parenting. I happened to be in attendance with my wife. We were expecting our first child at the time and I found the lectures to be challenging and thought-provoking. They set the tone for a biblical approach to marriage and parenting. In each, Dr. Ferguson seeks to stir up our confidence in the word of God as the all-sufficient means for God-honoring homes. You can listen to or download both below:
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
