What does it take to be good parents? Isaac loved Esau, Rebekah loved Jacob. These were godly parents, but people with very bad parenting skills.Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob (Genesis 25:28). You can be very spiritual, nevertheless lacking when it comes to raising your children in a healthy way. Should we despair?  Not at all. God put us in a community of faith so we can learn from each other and help each other in being transformed into the family of God. It takes a whole church to raise a child!  What do you think?

We learn a very important lesson from the story of that very dysfunctional family, "avoid favoritism at all cost when dealing with siblings."

Please read Genesis 27 - 29. Or Listen.

May the Lord richly bless you!
