Homework

There were some great Hands-On assignments in the 7th chapter of Revolutionary Parenting. I thought I would share them with you.

"Make a list of critical principles you want your children to adopt from Scripture. Plan how you will study the Bible together to get those principles before them."
- It takes planning and effort to make sure your children are learning the most important things in life - take the effort!

"When opportunities arise, challenge your kids to defend their position on moral truth. Be prepared to explain your position, with scriptural support."
- This could be as simple as watching something on TV or reading something in a book that does not line up with scriptural truth. Talk about it. Do they recognize it contradicts what is taught in the Bible? Look up scriptures to defend your beliefs. Get them used to looking to the Word for truth and not accepting everything they watch or read!

"Pray every morning and every evening for the salvation and spiritual maturity of your children. It's a battle for their souls. Your prayers are the ammunition. When your prayers are answered be sure to mention that to your children and to give God the credit. If you're sensitive to the working of God in your life, the examples will be plentiful and remarkable enough that you don't have to force the case.

I can't say enough how I desire this next generation to grow up knowing the truth - there is so much garbage being taught, it is easy to just go along with the flow. Our kids need to know what God teaches so that they may live a life full of blessing and not misery.

Have a great week!
