Children belong to the Lord. He gifts them to us as parents and empowers us to raise them, discipline them, and bless them, so that they experience, meaning, purpose, and life abundant! Our children belong to us, their parents. They do not belong to the church, the community, the schools, the state, or the nation. The church exists in part to empower and support parents. We are called to help protect parent’s rights to have and raise their children. As a church we will do this by the grace and wisdom of God who is Father of us all!
