Bible Advice For How to Live in Dangerous Times

We continue our series, still talking mainly to parents today. We are living in dangerous times. The Lord tells us how to rear and teach our children in such time.

The Blessing Economy

How to teach your children about success from a place of a Biblical understanding of the Blessing Economy.

It occurs to me that public school is an economy of cursing. Cursing is permitted, cursing children by labeling them is required, and the system drags down even the most well-meaning teacher into discarding children who require extra attention. This is not God’s economy. God’s economy is one of blessing. We start from God’s loving each one of us. We go forward knowing his rules are for our benefit. We proceed thru a life’s calling that is service and contribution and thus glory. Our end is resting in his glory/goodness/blessing. Think about it.

How to Bless Your Children

As we send our children off to school, let’s send them with a spoken blessing, so they move from the beloved identity of being a child of God. We talk a lot about original sin, and surely the Fall was real, but Jesus’ finished work is more real. So now, we should focus on the original blessing that the Lord gave us in creation, and the ongoing blessing we have a being in Christ. And let’s speak that into the world, and no more importantly than in our homes, over our children.

Whose Job Is is to Teach the Kids?

We are beginning a little series on independence and liberty, so please wait for your “July 4th” topic until next week. We will start at home — with teaching the children.

Hope you have a happy and blessed Independence Day celebration.
