3. Teach them about God:

Parenting is never easy, especially when we actually put forth energy to do it. That is why God has given His guidance to help direct us along the way. God's guidance can become a father's spiritual authority.

A father should use that authority wisely. Firstly by protecting his sons, and especially daughters from outside influences. The whole purpose of parental discipline is to help children grow and learn to be honest, loving adults, is it not? One of the greatest responsibilities we have as parents is to teach our children the value of wisdom and spiritual truth. Where do you think wisdom comes from? Parents have wisdom and that wisdom can get passed on to children but in the end all wisdom and truth come from God.

[Fathers, do not exasperate your children, instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4]
3.教他們認識上帝：

做父母從來就不是一件容易的事情，尤其是當我們全身心的去養育我們的孩子的時候。那就是為什么上帝給出了他的主旨，一路上幫助指引著我們。 上帝的主旨可以是父親的精神權威。
父親應當明智的使用這種權威。首先要保護他的兒子，尤其是女兒免受外界的影響。父母教導孩子的最終目的，是幫助我們的孩子學會并成為一個誠實，充滿愛心的成年人，難道不是嗎？做父母的偉大職責之一，是要我們的孩子明白智慧的價值和精神的真理。你認為智慧從何而來？父母的智慧可以傳遞給他們的孩子，但是所有的智慧和真理都最終來至于上帝。

[你們做父親的，不要惹兒女的氣，只要照著主的教訓和警戒養育他們。----以弗所書 第六章第四節（基督教《圣經.新約》中的一卷）]
