WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT…CHILD TRAINING continued
By J. Richard Fugate
Parental Responsibility
This
may be the first time you have realized that you are,
and have the right to be, the ruler over your
children. Since God has placed you in this position,
you should function as one who has the right to rule.
In other words, your children need to know that you
are in charge. This means that you make the
decisions, not the children. You are to decide when
it is time for bed, what is to be eaten or not eaten,
and what activities are permitted. These decisions
belong to the parent until the child has been trained
to make the
right decisions
himself. The parent even decides when and in what
areas the child is allowed to make his own decisions.
Children
need an authority figure. If parents do not provide
the needed leadership, their children will seek it
elsewhere. Without firm leadership in the home,
children will find someone outside of the family who
will tell them what to do. Children desperately need
someone whom they can follow and to whom they can
give their allegiance. God has made their souls to
respond to parental authority; therefore, they will
find a replacement if the parents abdicate their
position.
It should be no surprise that leaderless children
respond to cults, such as the Moonies and the Jones
groups, street gangs, or revolutionary movements.
These counterculture groups all have one thing in
common – they demand followership. They each
provide strong leadership, teach and enforce rules,
and set a purpose for the life of the follower. Dare
we as parents offer less?
FYI: Just
added to the tape library: Welcome to the Family by
Steven Bly. Includes: What Every Dad Should Know;
What Your Kids Deserve; Your Mate's Best Friend;
Getting Your Kids to Like Each Other; Doing Crazy
Things as a Family. These tapes are full of
great advice to help you. If you are a person who
will listen to teaching tapes, this set is
highly recommended by the pastor's
wife.
Lo,
the children are a heritage of the Lord: and the
fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalm 127:3
