Ten Things To Make Sure To Teach Your Children

Talk about the need for some basic Bible teaching! It is 2016 and the world has indeed been turned upside down! I recently spoke at a Women's Breakfast about some of the most basic stuff I have ever taught. This is not an exhausted list merely a basic check list of simple truths that have somehow been tarnished right before our eyes. God never changes. His word and ways never change either.

If we do not take the time to instill basic, normal, instinctive, knowledge into our children who will? I hope you take a few minutes and look over this list and let your children know that no matter what our lives are to please God and obey His word. These are the things that lead to fulfillment and happiness. God loves your kids. He will be with you as you train them up in His ways. His ways are simple, basic, and full of love. Sadly, no matter how different the world is now it will even get worse. But God! Thank God His grace will, at the same time, get more abundant! He will never leave you without a way out. He will always provide protection and a sound mind for your children.

My heart goes out to those who are raising little ones in this society. Unfortunately the days of a few good years of Sunday School and youth sermons to enhance the morals taught in your home is no longer enough. There was once a time that moms and dads warned about a "secular agenda". Those where the good old days because . . . 

There is no longer a secular agenda! It is now a way of life. The agenda is accomplished - each item checked off... done.

So how do we shield our children from cartoons, sitcoms, news shows, talk shows, K-12, college, social media, school curriculum, movie actors, music, and all other communications? What is right is now wrong and what is wrong is now right. Heaven help us. Worst of all if anyone objects to this mess they will be ridiculed, labeled, and mocked. The day of persecution for righteousness is here.

When I raised my kids I use to promote the concept of keeping them in the bubble as long as possible. In today's world there is not a bubble thick enough to shield even the smallest child. It is so very very sad. However, our God gave us some child rearing promises to stand on and the authority over the wickedness that is all around us. He made provision for this day and for His children.

Grace is abounding. Supernatural help is ours to use. Prayers open eyes and alter destinies. 

You are not alone.        



Here is the list of:

Ten Things to Make Sure To Teach Your Children.
                         It is never too late

 1) There is only one God
We learn about Him in the Holy Bible.

 2) Not everybody knows God
That is why they do and say things that are not right. Jesus wants to save them just like he saved our family. He wants to make right and wrong clear to them and he wants to give them a clear mind and a new conscience.

 3) Love is the most important thing in the Bible
There is a difference between disagreeing with people and not approving of their ways  - and hating.
If you disagree with something or someone it is not that you are afraid of it "phobic" or that you hate the person. It is proper to hate the sin, but love the person.

 4) There is a devil
The devil is the reason that bad things happen. All Good things come from God.

 5) Always tell the truth
Lying is hard to do at first but the more you lie it doesn't bother you anymore. That's because your conscience can get seared or damaged. If a person lies they will not be trusted and believed when something really bad does happen. Being a truthful person will help every area of your life and relationships. 

 6) Obey the voice of your conscience
When you feel something is wrong your conscience is there to tell you. Learn to listen and obey your conscience. If you do something inside you know is wrong ask for forgiveness and pray to never do it again. God placed in each of us a conscience to be our guide. Protect it.

 7) Marriage is between one man and one woman
God created man then he created his help mate woman. God told them to marry and have babies to fill up the earth. Boys grow up and marry girls. That is the way God made it.

 8) Every human life is priceless
Every life matters. Old people, preborn people, handicapped people, rich and poor, black, white, brown, yellow, red, we are all important and God loves us all equally. Each baby is created special and unique. There is no amount of money in the whole world that is worth more than you. You are unique and you are priceless.

 9) Always stand up for what is right
Sometimes the devil tricks people to believing bad things are good and good things are bad. But deep inside people know it really isn't true. Your conscience will help you know the difference between good and bad things. Never agree with wrong. What is right is not always popular but it is the only thing that will set people free.

10) You were born for a reason
God wants you to be happy and that happens when we live our life to please him and obey his word. God knows all things and sees all good and bad things even when no one else can see. It is extra special when we do good things in secret because God rewards those things the best.
