If there is anything our children need today among many, is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 is not a command to adults but to to all Christians. If our children are saved they must be taught to yield to the Spirit of God's control and direction in their lives. I'm working on my sermon for this coming Sunday, Spirit Filled Children.
Paul gives instructions in Ephesians 6:1-4.
Many have different takes on child rearing. Dr. Spock and Dr. Phil. However, for Christians God's word in clear.
God has a Word to the Growing Ones 1-3
God has a Word to the Guiding Ones 4
As parents we must
1. Set The Godly Standard
2. Discipline To The Godly Standard
3. Live Up To The Godly Standard
May God help us to yield ourselves to the Word of God and the Spirit of God that we might do and say what is needed for our children to grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Please pray for my time of prepartion and my preaching that God will be glorified and the saints edified.
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
