CHILDREN (2)

1. Bible Topic

a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.

2. Children 

a) Prompt discipline is an expression of parental love. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 13:24, TLB. "If you refuse to discipline your son, it proves you don't love him; for if you love him, you will be prompt to punish him."

b) Youth can be Christ-like examples. It's in the Bible, I Timothy 4:12, NIV. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."

c) Children should learn from their parents. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 1:8, NIV. "Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching."

d) Living a reckless life dishonors parents. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 28:7, TLB. "Young men who are wise obey the law; a son who is a member of a lawless gang is a shame to his father."

e) It is wrong to take unfair advantage of parents. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 28:24, TLB. "A man who robs his parents and says, What is wrong with that?' is no better than a murderer."

f) Young people should be selective in choosing their friends. It's in the Bible, II Timothy 2:22, TLB. Run from anything that gives you the evil thoughts that young men often have, but stay close to anything that makes you want to do right. Have faith and love, and enjoy the companionship of those who love the Lord and have pure hearts."
