02 – “BY ONE MAN’S DISOBEDIENCE” (Rom 5:19)
The title of our series this week, is “Train Up A Child”. Subtitle, “Principles of Christian Parenting”. And as we studied last night, we are talking about a very crucial and central topic. For the destiny of our children is largely determined by the way we bring them up. Now please note the qualifier, largely. Praise God, and may I share with you these words of encouragement, for those of you who recognize that perhaps you have made mistakes in the past. Praise God that He can work miracles, and that He can make up for past [...]
03 – “IN HIS OWN LIKENESS” (Gen 5:3)
Father God, we come again to ask for the outpouring of Your spirit. Not because we feel that You must be convinced before You will give that gift to us, oh no. We recognize that You long to give us Your gift, Your most precious gift, more than anything else. But we ask because Jesus has said, “ask and it shall be given”. We ask because in the asking we prepare our hearts to receive by acknowledging our need. We freely confess to You Father, that because of Adams sin our spiritual faculties, our capacities to discern [...]
04 – “LEAD ON SOFTLY” Part 1 (Gen 33:14)
The title of our series this week, is Train Up A Child. And we are considering together principles of Christian parenting. We started out together by asking ourselves, what is the goal, what is the grand objective of child training? And we came to the conclusion that it was that God might be glorified in our children. That His character might be reflected in theirs, for to glorify God is to characterize God. Gods glory is His character, therefore to reflect that character is what it means to give glory to God. […]
05 – “LEAD ON SOFTLY” Part 2 (Gen 33:14)
Our series is entitled, “Train Up A Child”. And we have been studying together from Gods Word and from the Spirit of Prophecy, the Principles of Christian Parenting. This presentation tonight is part 2 of the one we started this morning, entitled “Lead on Softly”. And we are considering together, parental roles. We considered this morning, how those roles are defined both Biblically and biologically, both by revelation and by nature. […]
06 – “TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY” Part 1 (Deut 6:7)
Our series this week, entitled “Train Up A Child”. Is an opportunity for each of us to consider carefully from God’s Word, the principles of Christian parenting. We have just concluded a two-part study, entitled, “Lead On”, how? “Softly”. And we’ve been considering in that two part study, the roles of the father and the mother. Now I recognize that we have been looking at ideals. And sometimes when we consider the ideal, it can be a bit overwhelming, when we recognize how far short we fall. […]
07 – “TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY” Part 2 (Deut 6:7)
Principles, the principles of Gods Word, the precepts, the fundamental laws of our being. These are what we are to teach diligently to our children. And these are absolutely ESSENTIAL for them to know, if they are to be able to develop a Christlike character. What is character again, our working definition this week? “The thoughts and feeling combined” (5T310). And you see, it is only by principle, inculcated, engraved, etched upon the fleshly tables of the hearts of our children. It is only by these principles, that they can come to govern their thoughts and feelings. [...]
08 – “IMITATE ME” (1 Cor 4:16)
In our seminar, Train Up A Child, we’ve been systematically, and hopefully, in a logical progression, considering principles that relate to our role as Christian parents. To our responsibilities as Christian parents. We’ve looked at what the goal of Christian parenting is, the development of a Christlike character in our children. We’ve considered that which opposes us in the realization of that goal, primarily the inheritance factors. From Adam, and more directly from us, ourselves. […]
09 – “NURTURE AND ADMONITION” (Eph 6:4)
Our series entitled Train Up A Child, has been a study in Christian Parenting. We have been considering from God’s Word, and from the Spirit of Prophecy, the Testimony of Jesus. Some of the basic principles that relate to being successful parents. That is, parents who raise their children to the glory of God. For that is the goal of Christian parenting. […]
10 – “THE ROD & REPROOF GIVE WISDOM” Part 1 (Prov 29:15)
Well we are pressing on in our series entitled “Train up a child”. We’ve been grappling with principles of Christian parenting as they have been revealed to us through Gods word and amplified for us in the writings of Ellen White, the Spirit of Prophecy. […]
11 – “THE ROD & REPROOF GIVE WISDOM” Part 2 (Prov 29:15)
In our series entitled “Train up a child”, we’ve been studying together principles of Christian parenting. And we’ve been dealing with the major techniques that are available to us to train our children. Precept, example, preventive discipline, restraint, and now we’re dealing with corrective discipline, the rod and reproof. This is part 2 in our study. This morning as we studied together we tried to come to a Biblical perspective or a Biblical philosophy for corrective discipline. And there indeed is, a very clear Biblical philosophy. […]
12 – “CAUGHT IN THE CORDS” (Prov 5:22)
We have been studying together principles of Christian parenting. Our series titled train up a child has taken us hopefully in a systematic way through some of the basic principles that are involved. That we must learn to appreciate and most importantly apply in our efforts to train up our children so that they might glorify God so that they might reflect his character in their own. […]
13 – “A WAY OF ESCAPE” (1 Cor 10:13)
Our series, “Train Up A Child”, has taken us through many of the principles of Christian parenting. And our last study was a consideration of habit formation. How habits are formed. And we used as example, one of the most prevalent and most powerful habits, and that is the habit of self-abuse, or masturbation. This particular presentation, entitled “A Way Of Escape”, is a vital sequel to that one that we just completed, “Caught in the Cords”. Brothers and sisters, habits can have a tyrannical, very oppressive, control over our lives. But there is power available to [...]
14 – “THE LOVE OF CHRIST CONSTRAINS” (2 Cor 5:14)
Our series, “Train Up A Child”, has been a study of the principles of Christian parenting, and we are down to our last study together. But as the saying goes, ‘last but not least’. We have saved perhaps the most important principle to the end. And that is the principle of right motivation. How can we rightly motivate our children? Motivation is a very vital and potent tool to use in child training. It has potential however, not only to help a Christ-like character, but if wrongly used it has tremendous potential to encourage and strengthen selfish [...]
