As far as ministry: love your children, spend time with them, don't put extra expectations on them just because you are in ministry, don't let other people put extra expectations on them just because you are in ministry, balance out family life with church life, protect them as best you can from any ugliness that can sometimes happen in church situations -- and they should turn out fine. In the long run, we all have to turn our children over to God anyways, so that is why it all starts with prayer.

I have a 2 year old son and I am at times terrified of the thought of this. I pray to GOD everyday to rescue Him from eternal damnation. I see that sons of Pastors some times end up in the deepest mess - not sure why.. I am aspiring to be in the ministry, so it is a disturbing thought. But it is encouraging to see people like Abraham Piper, Franklin Graham caught by the love of CHRIST. WOW.. I have a 2 year old son and I am at times terrified of the thought of this.
