Enos 1:1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Enos, knowing my father that he was a just man-for he taught me in his language, and also in the nurture and admonition of the Lord-and blessed be the name of my God for it.
Does this settle the nature vs. nurture battle? Is nurture more important than nature in child development? I'm a big believer in nature, but here as well as in Ephesians, it commends the practice of bringing children up in the nurture of the Lord.
The reason that Enos knows his father was just is because he taught him in his language. Is teaching children really a good way to help them to know us as parents? Do they recognize us through what we teach them after they have grown?
