Parent/Child Relationships, Part 3a

January 30, 2012
Parents have a huge responsibility when it comes to raising their kids. As we get into Ephesians 6:4, Pastor Jeff explains that the mother and father each have unique and fulfilling roles as parents. Sadly, many couples today are choosing not to have children. Yes, many trials come with parenthood; but God says that the “fruit of the womb is His reward.”

Have you ever been confused about how to correct your children? The Bible warns parents to discipline their children carefully. But this chastisement is not about violence. It’s about wisdom.

God gave Adam and Eve one rule: obey Him! Remember that honoring your father and mother is the first commandment with a promise. Pastor Jeff gives us two reasons that we should obey.

What is better than freedom? Pastor Jeff reminds us that we are free in Christ! The youth today need to hear this.

God will do the rest.

Paul’s words aren’t just for adults. In today’s study, Pastor Jeff reminds us that God is speaking to our kids, too! Obedience is a key part of scripture, and our children are to follow this command.

Now more than ever, children are troubled and unhappy. Teen pregnancies and attempted suicide rates are astronomical. Parents, don’t be too busy to nurture and discipline your children. The price is too high to pay. Children need love and direction in their lives — to ignore and alienate your children is to ask for severe consequences. Keep listening for more on this serious and important topic of Sound Doctrine.

"As the home goes, so goes the nation.” Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that just because our kids are in church and Christian school doesn’t mean they’re safe from sin. Our children are walking around with big targets on their backs. Satan doesn’t want your children to grow up loving the Lord — he wants to tear them down spiritually.

God wants you to have harmony in the home, not chaos! Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff tells us that God’s instruction manual for the home is simple.

As we finish our study on the husband’s duties in marriage, Pastor Jeff teaches us that actions are more important than words. You must act out your faith rather than just talk about it. Husbands, are you leading your home in the way of the Lord? Are you setting a godly example for your children? It’s not all about you — it’s about caring for your wife and family.

Do you feel like your marriage is boring or old hat? Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff reminds us that a strong marriage isn’t based on romantic feelings.

We are living in the end times, and the fractured families we see today are proof of this.
