CHILDREN ARE PRECIOUS CREATIONS & BLESSINGS (2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Parents

a) Most things come with an instruction book.  Your car has a manual and before you drive a car you even get a “learner’s permit”. Then you must study and pass a couple tests before you are allowed to legally drive that car. The microwave, the television, the cell phone, the stereo – they all come with instruction manuals. But what about parenting, do you have a book that tells you how to do that?  Well of course you do!  

b) As Christians we can look to the Bible for a full set of instructions on how to be parents.  It is important to read the Bible to glean what it has to say about the awesome opportunity we have to be parents.  As believers we must keep a Biblical worldview instead of a humanistic worldview in order to maintain a Godly culture in our homes which then impacts our community. 

c) The Bible reminds us that children are precious to the parents. It also tells us how to teach, train and discipline them.  

2. Children Are Precious Creations And Blessings  

Matthew 18:12-14 
What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?  And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

Ephesians 2:10 
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. 


The End ...
