My grandson plays hide & seek with his older sisters...Was visiting them over the holidays and he went and hid and no one could find him... Gave us all a panic attack...He was hiding behind the Christmas tree... My grandpa instink wanted to discipline him... But I would have been wrong... Just told he to only play that game at certain times with his sisters & other kids... He understood... Happy New Year Brother Gene & your whole family... Been listening to you for a long time... You have definitely help turn me around... God bless you for all your hard work 🙏
To grow in godly wisdom, we are to respect and respond to parental guidance. Since both Solomon, in Proverbs, and Paul, in Ephesians 6:1-3, were referring primarily to grown children, we must teach younger children to respect and respond to parental guidance. Without this foundational background they will be unable to grow into grown children that respect parental guidance. It’s important that parents, grandparents, and anyone else that may impact a child’s life do so from a godly perspective. Parents must know, reverence, and honor the Word of God. That is the basis for raising godly children. We must be examples, modeling the behavior we expect our children to have and follow. We can’t say one thing and do another. We must love them while establishing boundaries that are safety nets for them. Be Encouraged! ❤
To grow in godly wisdom, we are to respect and respond to parental guidance. Even though both Solomon and Paul, in Ephesians 6:1-3, were referring primarily to grown children, we can, and should, teach younger children to respect and respond to parental guidance. We do this by carefully parenting our children and supporting other parents with their own children. We do not demand respect, but we command respect. When we give a directive, we expect it to be followed, and if it is not, there are consequences lovingly and consistently followed through. Finally, we, as adults, model submission to authority ourselves. As long as directives given to us do not go against the Word of God, we submit to them. However, if those directives go against the Word of God, we respectfully decline to submit, for we must obey God rather than man. Thanks for the teaching, Dr. G.
Let's not forget that the punishment for dishonoring a parent is the death penalty. Obviously God is serious about obediance and Honoring parents. Dishonoring is not just a loss of reward, it is a sin worthy of death. We need to take this commandment much more seriously.
Amen..

what happens when mom and dad are sinner and guide you wrongfully?? i read this as if G-d himself is speaking.
I need to know too, my parents are not Christian and it hurts whenever I have to miss some church events because I have to honor my parents.
