The Commandments | Honor Thy Father and Mother

Adam speaks on the Fifth Commandment, honoring thy mother and father. However, as Adam points out, this is more of a commandment for the parents than the children. Children aren't able to understand the weightiness of being a parent. As parents, we must foster an environment of love and God's glory and mold their self-image and self-worth. Once children can understand the weight of being a parent, they can respect and obey the parent. This aligns with our faith as when we understand the weight and love of the Father, we can respect and obey His commands. As parents, it is our job to model what it looks like to honor your mother and father.
