00:00You know, there's a word that says, train the child in the way he should go.
00:08Because if you train them with the Word of God, they can go detours left and right, but
00:13they will not depart from it.
00:14They'll come back.
00:16And so my suggestion is, up to 18, train them with the Word of God.
00:22Okay?
00:23We used to read Bible stories to the children all the time.
00:27When they turn 18, stop being prescriptive.
00:32Stop being controlling.
00:35Because you've already given them the basic foundation.
00:39If you did, then let them go.
00:42Because you know, like a kite, you let it go, and then you kind of like pull a little
00:47back sometimes, but never control them.
00:50Because at 18, they're adults.
00:53Let them be adults.
00:54And let me tell you, I made so many mistakes.
00:57That's why I'd like to share this as a testimony of what I went through.
01:02I tried to control them, and it was so wrong.
01:06That's my tip.
