How can we train our girls to be godly? We must be godly. As mothers we need to seek and love our God with all our heart so that we can show our girls what it looks like to be godly. Here are a few things you can do with her to help accomplish this.
~Study these scriptures together. Discuss how they apply to you right now.
~Activities
§ Talk with other godly women in your life. What advice do they have about becoming a godly young lady?
§ Talk to other men (dad, grandfather, etc..) about what they admire or value most in the women in their life.
§ Proverbs 31:10 says, “A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.” Learn about rubies. What else in scripture is compared to rubies?
§ Study the lives of godly women in history. What traits did they have that set them apart from other women?
§ Read about some ungodly women in the Bible or history. What was the end result of their life

You shouldn’t teach any child in religious thoughts, you should let them grow up and then, when they have made a formerly opinion, they will be able to chose if they want to be “godly” or not. People like you make this world a worst place to live in, if you teach your daughter in a very strict religious way, first in her’s life she will be ashamed in school when the learn about evolution, for example; in my opinion she should be able to chose between be religious or not, if you teach it from young she would never be able to chose (remember the difference between humans and animals is that humans can choose). What you should do is theach her worth life values, like responsibility, honor or rationalism, that will make your daughter a “good person”, and not a couple of lies (remember the society is capable to argue against those lies, and then the base of your daughter’s belivings will be under thread, and then she will be “alone”). Please don’t make things until you thought the consecuencies, and please don’t bring more FANATICS to this planet (we don’t need more, there’s enought problems with those we have)

I enjoyed reading the many good ideas in your post. I too am trying to train a Godly girl.
Our country was founded by Godly men and women who were trained in their youth. We would not have the freedom we have if it were not for them. I fear for our country if parents do not bring up Godly children.

Great set of posts Dana! Spot on. We have done these things with our daughters and they know the truth. Teaching them with words PLUS teaching by example is the best way to go.
If we don’t teach, then our children will go the way of popular culture, which is akin to that old saying, ‘the blind leading the blind’.

To Peter:
I personally think that the reason our world is in such a mess today is because parents gave their children too much freedom of choice and no guidance. What would our country be like if everyone was given the freedom to choose to do whatever they wanted, there was no law or government or no order? Everyone needs guidance, no matter your age. When we are children this is our learning and growing time, this is why they go to school. Do we give them a choice as to whether they want to learn or not? These are my children and I don’t want them to grow up to be just “good people”. My children understand that they have a choice everyday. They can choose right or wrong. They have a choice as to who they will follow and who they will turn from. I teach them by my example, reading the scriptures to them, and praying with them. I cannot force my children to believe that God is their Creator and Lord. I cannot force them to make the right decisions. That is their choice. What I do is I teach them what I know to be truth. I teach them how they can take the words in the Bible and live it today. I show them by the way I live that when I obey Gods commands, I am at peace and I have a joy that others don’t have who don’t follow God. they make the choice themselves. So far, each of my children, ages 7 & up, have made that choice to follow and obey God. I am not guaranteed that all of my children will follow Christ, but I will do all that I can to train them in godliness, and pray that they will choose him on their own. Salvation is not forced, it is merely accepted.
Praying that you will one day see and understand the Truth.
