Parenting with a purpose,
The day the teacher went back to school.
Every parent must become familiar with self-identity, biblical commitment, and a deep love for parental leadership. which serves as a guide for determining the best path to a predetermined end.
Our purpose is to present an argument that change is an experience that should not be left up to chance but in the hands of parents motivated by action and education. Parents in the twenty-first century will likely play significant roles as innovators and influencers in their children's development. This happens through five innovative changes. Mark 9:36-37 says Jesus was educating his disciples about his soon-coming death; they did not understand, so he took a child, set the child amid them, and spoke. “Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me: and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him that sent me.”
The five principles children face are: 1.) Children learn through observation; Proverbs 20:7 says, “The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.” 2.) They copy others to learn new ways to do things. 1 Timothy 5:4 says, “But if any widow has children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety or (respect) at home and to requite or (return to) their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.” 3.) They (your children) conceptualize ideas and themes by being taught. Deuteronomy 6:1 6-7 says now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them; however, God is talking to the nation of Israel, this principle will apply to you as a parent, these things you should teach your children so that they can conceptualize their thoughts and ideas. They might fear the Lord their God, keep all his statutes and commandments, and observe to do them. “And these words, which I command this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sit in thine house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thou rise.” 4.) Verbal learning involves words and instructions. Proverbs 1:1-12 says, “Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. For I give you sound doctrine, forsake ye, not my law. For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.” 5.) They learn by logical and deductive reasoning. Isaiah 1:18 says, “Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” All five of these natural concepts are designed to connect the parents to a biblical ideology that reflects the plans and purposes of God for the family.
Parents with a purpose is a vision God gave me to revitalize the image that parents can’t build and sustain the character and stability of their families. Psalms 127:1-5 “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.” Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed but speak with the enemies in the gate.”
Parents with a purpose are the fundamental cornerstone of revolutionary change for parental insight and revelation. A Wise parent who has perspective can see the big picture without losing sight of the small; they can see the part without losing sight of the whole; they understand the relationship between day and night, good and bad, the known and the unknown, they have learned how it all fits together including their limitations and immense lack of understanding and that realization makes them humble insightful and flexible as parents, they are free to creatively see and respond to what is around them.
Rev. Lemoyne Doc Scott will introduce the parents to “The Day the Teacher Went Back to School.” This biblical concept presents a parental view of parental responsibility and commitment to change.
