TEACHING CHILDREN TO LOVE GOD (EPHESIANS 6:1-4)
Today’s message is going to be about how to raise children in way that they learn to love God. Now, there are many who would say that the principles of child raising that we find in the Bible, will seem old fashioned, and are not to be used in our so-called “enlightened day.” But, in my humble opinion, what is wrong with our society today is that we have left the principles of raising children found in the Bible, and listened to the Dr. Spocks of the world. The truths of the words found in the Bible are as relative, and as needed, in our day as never before.
A nation is no stronger than its home; and when children refuse to obey their parents, they are fulfilling the prophecy that says the last days will be perilous times. And any nation is in grave peril whose children are disobedient to their parents; and, therefore, it is no wonder that America is certainly in bad shape.
Today, the Scriptures that we will cover will be speaking directly to the fathers. But, let me tell you that most of these concepts that we will talk about today apply to the mother as well. Both parents need to be in agreement in how they raise their children. So dads, may I tell you that your most important task is being a husband and a father. It is not being a church leader, not being a businessman, but your most important task is being a husband and a father. The Bible says that every father owes to his children three things: He owes to his children devotion. He owes to his children discipline. And he owes to his children direction.
May God help us so that we will take our children and give to them these things that we need to give them: number one, devotion—don’t provoke them to wrath; number two, discipline—bring them up in the nurture of the Lord; number three: admonition—teach them the Word of God.
