Practical Principles for Parenting (5 of 7)
by Jim Perdue
Today we continue our series, The Blueprint for the Family. This series has taken us through Mother's Day, Graduation Sunday, and will conclude on Father's Day. We've covered some very important topics and today, we'll handle one that's very difficult but very important. From Proverbs 29:1-27, we'll study Practical Principles for Parenting. You may know that the book of Proverbs is very practical. It provides principles that can be implemented and applied instantly. It deals with topics such as love, marriage, temptation, money, wisdom, and success. And here, it deals with parenting: discipline, instruction, correction, and direction...
Lie #7: ''I Should Shield My Child from Serious Consequences.'' (7 of 10)
by Wyman Richardson
I grew up attending a small private school in Dalzell, SC, called Thomas Sumter Academy. Our headmaster was named ''Mr. Owens.'' He was a wise, caring but imposing figure that none of us had any desire to cross in an unpleasant way! In speaking to the student body, Mr. Owens would sometimes quote a statement originally made by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is forever seared in my brain: ''Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences.'' That has a nice, prophetic ring to it, does it not? ''Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences.'' What that means is, eventually, try though you...
Making Children Mind without Losing Yours (4 of 4)
by Fred Lowery
A little role reversal and that's what we're talking about is kid's and discipline. This little series on parenting it's just been a short series, four weeks and I'm aware and you're aware that I can't cover parenting in four weeks. So and I haven't even been able to get to teenagers which we'd need to spend a few months there. So we'll come back and do some more later but at least this gave us a little taste and hopefully we've given you some help in this role of parenting. Kids have a way of you know, I think one reason God gives us children is to keep us humble and keep that humility in our lives. Last Sunday after I finished preaching...
Passionate Parenting (5 of 10)
by Stan Coffey
Turn if you would, in your Bible to Acts 7:17. Today we are going to talk about "Passionate Parenting" in this series of messages called "Renewing Your Passion For Life." We have been talking about the fact that everything in life that accomplishes is motivated by passion. Great art, great literature, great achievements, great goals, all are motivated by a passion, even in your work, your daily life, your home. Great marriages, great families are built out of a passion. Good parenting is dependent upon your passion to be a good parent. To be a good mom, to be a good dad, you have to be passionate about being the best mom, the best dad that God can help you to be. And if God has entrusted into your...

The Challenge of Parenting (5 of 5)
by Jeff Schreve
I don't know about you, but I like to do puzzles. I like to get the paper in the morning and do the Jumble and the Crypto-quote and the Crossword puzzle. I like word puzzles. Debbie, she likes number puzzles. Well, she has turned me on recently to the Sudoku puzzle. It's numbers 1 through 9. And you have to figure out what number goes in the right spot, one through 9. Now it can be pretty hard, especially if you're not good with numbers. But, you know, the thing about puzzles, the reason that many of us like to do them, they're a challenge. And you look at that empty Crossword puzzle, or whatever it might be, and...
Jesus and the Children
by J. Gerald Harris
The message this morning has to do with Jesus and the children. The Bible teaches that children are a blessing from God. In Genesis 17:16 God was talking to Abraham concerning his wife Sarah. And God said, "I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother." In Genesis 33 we read that Jacob and Esau came together to restore their severed relationship. For many years they had been separated because of bitterness and deceit and hatred. But when they came together, Esau said to Jacob, "Who are those with thee?"And Jacob said, "The children which God has graciously given...
The Spirit Led Children of God (13 of 23)
by Josh Malone
Today, we are talking about this subject The Spirit Led Children of God. - If you are a born-gain believer in Christ today, if He is your Lord, your Savior... your hope... then you are a child of God. You have been given God's Spirit in you to lead and direct your life. Your identity is not one of outsider, but one of family. - When you came to know Jesus you were brought into God's family and your entire past, present and future was transformed. Everybody wants to LABEL YOU. - By class, race, political affiliation, career, your past, your income... How does GOD LABEL YOU? That is what matters. Paul in this passage teaches us something...
Healthy Parenting of Wayward Adults (9 of 10)
by Bob Ingle
What is the pinnacle of parenthood? Having a baby? Getting them to sleep through the night? Successful potty-training? Making the honor roll? High School graduation? Getting them off your payroll, finally? Seeing their wedding? How about grandchildren? What's the pinnacle of parenthood? As great as those things are, the bible says those things aren't the peak. 3 John 4 says, ''I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.'' Of course, John is talking about his spiritual children here, but no doubt it applies to our physical children as well, doesn't it? There's nothing better than knowing your child...
Spare The Rod, Spoil The Christian
by James Merritt
1. I want to say three things about myself as a Christian. First of all I am saved. I am saved because I have repented of my sin, and by faith accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, and received Him as my Lord. 2. Furthermore, I am sure. I know that I am saved and I know I am saved because God's word says so. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13) 3. But I am also secure. I believe once saved, always saved. I can never lose my salvation no matter what. 4. Now there are some people who will ride in your theological wagon for the first two miles, but when it comes to...
The Way of Success
by Marvin D. Patterson
Memories and Good Fortune An elderly couple were celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired. Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they'd shared, where Andy had carved, ''I love you, Sally.'' On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up, but not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money. It totaled fifty thousand dollars. Andy said, ''We've got...
The Place of Children in the Family
by Miles Seaborn
God uses the family to illustrate the relationship between us and God and between us as God's children. 397 times he refers to Father - Mothers - Children in their human relationship. God mentioned children and this earthly relationship so often because he meant them to be! They are a blessing of God and are to be treated as such. They can add the spice and joy to life or they can make a home hell on earth. They do not do it; right or wrong by themselves, but are guided - influenced and controlled through their parents. We urgently need to know what is God's plan for children and therefore, parents. Our world literally...
