Being A Parent – Summary
I can’t remember where I copy this summary it was on my word document file and as a parent I am being reminded today.
- Blessings of great joy and satisfaction exist for both the father and mother who properly train their children, while the cursing of great sorrow is the consequence to those who do not.
- The soul life of each child is the creation of God, and God has a plan and a purpose for anything He creates.
- God intends for children to be trained by their parents according to His standards.
- Child training is dependent on the child’s respect for his parent’s position of authority.
- The principle of authority was designed by God for the orderly administration of His plan for mankind and is totally under His control.
- Parental authority is the most extensive of all institutions and includes the right to demand obedience from children.
- The parents’ word is law to their children.
- Parents are responsible to raise obedient and respectful children.
- Parents are accountable to God alone for their rulership.
- Children who honor their parents are blessed with physical prosperity, whereas those who rebel in overt disrespect receive the cursing of a living death and/or a violent end.
- Parents must provide strong leadership for their children and stand responsible for their outside influences.
- Parents are the symbol and representative of God’s authority to their children.
