It’s easy to envision reigning if you’re in charge of a company or a church. But in the Scriptures, acts of reigning are not only done by people in power, but by people who are being trained–sometimes for decades!–to reign. It’s time, in other words, to train your children to reign. As Pastor Foley says, “We don’t become leaders and then learn to reign. We learn to reign and then we become leaders!”

“For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.” (Hebrews 5:12-14 ESV)
Good teaching, reigning Pastor Foley.
