I have been doing devotions with my children every morning (Mon-Fri) for some years now. We started out using family devotional books, but then graduated to using only the bible in the last few years. I even let them teach the lessons every so often.
For a change of pace we are doing a study over Pilgrim's Progress.
We have memory scriptures that they have to memorize and expound upon. We always close in prayer with each one taking a turn every day.
I pray that God will use me to lay ground work in their lives and I know fruit will come forth.
Don't you think you are taking his words a little out of context? I am 40 years old and there is much wisdom I gain from my parents,...but they don't know everything.
As he says, 'most parents usually try to tell their kids the right thing...and parents know a lot and you can gain from them.'
I have to admit though, I think him using that example to push his ideas upon unsuspecting children, comparing prejudice to global warming, is a stretch.
Trust no man and in all your getting get understanding.
