Creating Shade for Your Children, Part 3
For now, we will continue our Bible study really on the issue of “Shade for the Children.” We’re talking about parenting, talking about what is essential, what is critical for parents to provide a future for their children in a very hostile world. I want us to look in particular into the book of Proverbs.
So I want you to get your Bible open to Proverbs and I want you to be ready to move through it with me, because we’re going to be looking at and reading a lot of Scripture. There is not a lot to explain in the book of Proverbs, it is self-evident in almost every case, and this is instruction that is critical for parenting. We are examining what God has commanded parents to do in raising their children. We started out in Ephesians, chapter 6. Children are to obey their parents and honor their parents. They’re to do it in the Lord, and it’s the first commandment with a promise, and that promise was a long and full life. That’s the responsibility of children. Parents are not to frustrate or exasperate their children, but to bring them up in the instruction and discipline of the Lord. So we looked at those things over the last couple of weeks.
