Responsibilities of Children and Parents - a podcast by Gil Rugh

Each individual in the home has responsibilities to others for which they are accountable. Accountability is individual and not conditioned by the treatment of the others in the particular relationships. For believers in those relationships, they are to be living under the control of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Word of God. In regard to relationships within the family, children are to be obedient to their parents. Responsibility for training and discipline in the home is shared by both parents, mother and father with the father having the final and ultimate responsibility to provide the leadership and oversight of his family in the home. Children are responsible to honor their parents due to their position even in situations where parents are failing to carry out God's standards. One sin never excuses another sin before the Lord and obedience by any and all is ultimately to the Lord to be pleasing to Him or it is disobedience to Him when sin is occurring. The Proverbs provide practical instruction for both parents and children concerning what is the wise and God-pleasing way to speak and way to behave.
