Building Blocks for a Successful Parenting Part 2 (4 of 4)
Series: Building Blocks for a Successful Life
Jordan Easley
Joshua 1:8, Proverbs 22:6
A few weeks ago we began a series entitled, ''Building Blocks for a Successful Life.'' And really, the basis for this entire study comes from one single verse.
[Joshua 1:8] This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
That verse tells us that God wants us to be successful in life... and He not only desires that for us... He's the one that gives us the formula for success in His Word.
We looked at that last week in regards to MARRIAGE... Marriage was God's idea. He created the blueprints and made the rules... and as the creator of that institution, we saw that God is the one who defines success in marriage...
Success isn't defined by the WORLD... Success is defined by God's WORD.

I asked that question on Facebook this week and had hundreds of responses:
- Examples
Parenting is tough! And let's be honest-Parenting would be so much easier... if it didn't involve kids! The kids are the ones that make it tough!
Can I get an AMEN from somebody this morning?
I heard a quote the other day that said... ''Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, they gobble their food, they terrorize their teachers.'' I read that and was like... ''No doubt! Preach!'' But you know who said that? Socrates... in the year 426 BC.
Parenting has been tough since the beginning of time! ...and yet God's word tells us that children are a blessing. [Psalm 127:3] ''Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.''
