Are you there as a father and mother for your children? I mean really there!! Not just a couch potato parent, there in body but not teaching Christ or loving your kids with an eternal implication. Are you leaving your children to look outside your God given gift of helping craft a young life to know and follow Christ? Parent, what a gift you have been given by Almighty God, that trusting little child who wants you to be there for them. Spend time with them and teach them biblical truths. Show the love of Christ and teach them how life is more than just being here to enjoy material things.
1 Peter 4:8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
Ps.90:12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
We have so little time to mold our children's hearts. I am talking about investing time in teaching love, respect, honor, integrity, purity and hope in that is found in Christ. If you follow Christ, you are a child of holy God. His will for us is to love one another. Feed my Sheep! That means spiritually, physically and mentally. That means we may have to stand alone, when the world is sending one message but Christ is sending another. It is a choice we will have to make, to follow Christ or the world.
Lord, do not let us sit idly by when we see someone headed toward hell because it is not politically correct to give them the truth of God's word. Lord, make us a nation that will shout Your glory no matter the cost! Amen
Matt.10:33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Just as you discipline your child to teach right and wrong, God does the same to those to whom He sees are in need of repentance.
Rev.19:3 NIV Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
Deut.8:5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
Is.53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
1 Cor.11:32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
Heb.12:6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives."
Prov.3:11-12
11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof,
12 for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.
