Children As Arrows | Episode 2 | Arrows By Design

Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages

In the second episode of "Children As Arrows," Duane Sheriff teaches a biblical perspective on raising children, emphasizing the importance of viewing them as gifts from God and preparing them for their purpose in life.

Using Psalm 27, we explore the metaphor of children as arrows. This imagery illustrates our role as parents in shaping, aiming, and eventually releasing our children into the world. The arrow's shaft represents the time we have with our children, the tip symbolizes their God-given purpose, and the feathers signify the guiding principles we instill.

This perspective encourages us to view parenting as a sacred responsibility, shifting our focus from merely caretaking to intentional preparation. Are we actively shaping our children's character and faith, preparing them for their unique calling and destiny?
