On March 16th, John Piper had this on his blog. I thought it too good not to share.
An Encouragement and Precaution for Parents
March 16, 2009 By: John Piper
Category: Commentary
Jesus tells of two sons:
What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, “Son, go and work in the vineyard today.” And he answered, “I will not,” but afterward he changed his mind and went. And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, “I go, sir,” but did not go. (Matthew 21:28-30)
I draw this advice for parents from these words: Do not despair of the rebel, and do not assume the heart of the compliant child is with you.
Which means practically, pray like crazy for both of them. And keep showing both of them the gospel of undeserved, blood-bought grace.

I completely agree! Parents should love their children by praying for them, by keeping their word, and by showing and teaching them the gospel.
