One (a father) who rules his won house well, having his children in submission with all reverence.
Here's a principle that should govern the relationships you allow your children to develop. "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but he the companion of fools will be destroyed" (Proverbs 13:20). The Bible says, "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God'" (Psalm 14:1. Any person who lives as if God does not exist is a fool. "Do not be deceived: 'Evil company corrupts good habits'" (1 Corinthians 15:33). Parents say, "well, I can't tell my child who cannot be their friends." Who told you that lie? Rescuing your children from a corrupt relationship is saving a life. You wouldn't be shy about dragging your child out of a burning building. You shouldn't be shy about dragging your child out of a corrupt relationship.
One of my children had a dating relationship in college that I disapproved of. I said, "This relationship is over, or you give me back the keys to the car, the credit cards, and we're closing the bank account." The relationship was terminated, and a wholesome relationship followed with a godly person, for which I thank God.
