Applying the Bible to Life - Beginning a New Adventure

I could say "a new venture" and be accurate but somewhat incomplete. Adventure really captures what I'm feeling as I "venture" into the new (for me) world of blogging. This has come about as a result of popular request for biblical guidance in the areas of marriage and parenting. While this is the primary focus I'm sure we'll venture into other areas as well. The source of all guidance for all of life is the Bible. Additional resources will be used. Specifically in the marriage area will be the DVD/Book "Fireproof" and "Designer Marriage" by Dr. Bill Weaver. In the parenting area we'll start with "Parenting with Love and Logic" by Dr. Foster Cline and Jim Fay. The format will be Q&A that will hopefully lead to discussion. When the discussion thread runs out we'll move on to the next question. Feel free along the way to comment on this format. We may from time to time have guest "experts" to bring expanded expertise to the discussion. I pray this new adventure allows all of us to grow in grace toward perfect people, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Let's get started with parenting. Proverbs 22:6 says "train children in the right way and when old, they will not stray." I have some friends who sincerely believe they raised their children in the right way ie: took them to church, had home Bible study etc., yet some of these kids either turned from the faith or at best are ambivalent. What do you think went "wrong"? Can scripture be trusted?
