Proverbs 27 She carefully watches everything in her household
It is important for moms and dads to teach their children the ways of God. We do this by example but also time for sitting down and talking just like we do our own bible studies. It talks about it alot in the old testament.
Start with the principles of God’s Word.
•ownership: Your body is not your own; it belongs to God once you’re a child of God.
•Lordship: Jesus is Lord over all.
•citizenship: If you’re a child of God, you belong to a different kingdom; you don’t belong to this world.
•stewardship: God has entrusted some things to you, like a body. He’s entrusted beauty to you, and you have to use that in ways that are pleasing to the Lord.
(revive our hearts)
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” (Deuteronomy 6:5) so that your obedience is not just rigid and legalistic, but your obedience springs out of a heart of love for God.
“These words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
Deuteronomy 6:7
, “Talk [about these things] when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” All day, every day, be naturally communicating with your children the ways of God
We need to be intentional about training them to think biblically and helping them develop a heart for God so that it's not just a list of rules.
Help your kids know to share with you verbally and to have conversations about everything, it may be tiring, but it keeps the door open so in those crazy teen years, you can talk about all the issues that come up.
