I'm putting together a fort for my boys... I have been working on it for about 2-3 months now. I can blame it on the weather. Rain, soggy ground, whatever. Its almost done (one window left to put on). The boys play on it whenever they can.
The one thing that amazed me about this fort is the instructions and the detail of them. You cannot use just any size screw, bolt or nut. Doing so could produce a very dangerous and deadly hazard waiting to happen. I even had some boards that were broke, so I had to wait a few weeks for the company to send me a new one. The biggest setback was when I found out the MAIN board that goes on the base was cracked and busted. I could have used it, but in doing so would have put my children at risk for injury because the foundation was not solid. It took 2 weeks to get a replacement but their safety was worth it. Did they like waiting a little longer? Not on your life.
What about when it comes to spiritual things? Do we follow the instructions God has given us in His word? Deuteronomy 6:7-9, Ephesians 6:4, Proverbs 1:8-9, Proverbs 4, and more all speak about the importance of Parents rolls in training our children.
Do we take shortcuts? Do we depend upon the church to lay the foundation? Are we time with our kids for time with the world?
If God told you that unless you taught your Children daily about Him, that they would never come to know Him, would you?
Lets not hope our kids turn out right. Lets stop following instructions that the world gives us but instead follow the instructions the Creator of the world gave us.
