Mike Davenport explains in this video that in Ephesians 6, we read that we are to nurture our children and bring them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. We each should have a Godward focus.

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) - "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
