The Model and Message


    Modeling is a critical part of being an effective parent, but in our efforts to focus on being good models we sometimes forget the message. We need to say what it is we want our children to know—to spell it out, to teach them, to make it clear.

    Jesus modeled a perfect life for all people to follow, but He also brought a message. Without the message the model can be misinterpreted or just plain fuzzy. The two—model and message—go together; they go together to make the most powerful impact possible.

    So let’s make the rest of the day a little better; make sure children understand your message as well as your model.
