Thou Shalt Discipline Your Children

Discipline in the home, if it is to be consistent and appropriate, is demanding work and requires wisdom. But discipline is a critical part of the job description of every parent as it is an important tool for helping children develop spiritually, emotionally, and mentally as it sets boundaries, provides healthy guidelines, and helps children achieve their best.

Thou Shalt Spend Time With Your Children

For children, love equates to time, both quality and quantity time spent with them. Parents can demonstrate their love for their children by being involved in their lives and making time for them. Love is sacrificial, and parents reveal they have open hearts by being present and available for their children.

Thou Shalt Teach Your Children

Our homes are the most important schools our children will attend. So, if your home is a classroom, what are you teaching? Parents need to know what their children read, where they go, and what they see in order to equip them to fulfill the destiny that God intends for their lives.

Thou Shalt Model Godliness

Parents are called to accept responsibility for how their children are molded and shaped. Children will do what you say for a while but then they begin to do what you do. Instead of leaving it to the culture or the school to train your children, trust God to help you set an example that will serve as a godly road map for

Thou Shalt Love Your Children

The Bible gives practical principles – or commandments – for successful parenting, and the first of these is to truly love our children. We say “I love you” by giving them a sense of security and significance, by modeling what we want them to do and become, and by leaving a legacy of unconditional love.

To effectively apply biblical principles for parenting in our families, we need to understand that the foundational problem in the home – and in our lives in general – is our reliance on our own skills and resources instead of depending on God.

Overcoming a Dysfunctional Family

Whatever season of life you are in, you probably recognize that the family is in trouble. Economic challenges, conflict in the home, addictions, legalism, and abuse are epidemic, making the dysfunctional family the #1 problem in America today. God’s Word provides principles that can help us break unhealthy patterns and take important steps toward healing.

Crosspull

When our mind, emotions, and spirit are not in harmony, the resulting tension may be caused by a crosspull between our will and God’s will, between our desire to do as we please instead of living according to God’s plan and purpose. To resolve this tension, surrender to God and trust Him to draw you back to Himself.

Know Your Weakness

Life is not just a race or a boxing match, it is a war – and we are not bulletproof. That’s why we must appropriate the full armor of God every day. Not only does it protect us; it provides everything we need to win against the forces of evil that confront us.

Satan’s Plan for Your Life

Whether you’re on a mountaintop or in a valley, Satan will attempt to keep you from fulfilling the purpose God has for your life. But God has provided the resources you need to experience victory in the daily conflict against evil and all that is sinister in our world today.
