Men’s Dart League: Thursday, January 18, at 6:30pm. This is a wonderful opportunity for the men to have fellowship. It has also resulted in souls for the Kingdom in the past. All men are welcome. Bring a friend! There will be food once again on a donation basis with the funds going into the Love Workshop treasury. Pop will cost 50 cents a can. Hope to see you there.
IS THIS YOURS? I was cleaning out the Teacher’s Nook and found a cloth Santa decoration – looks like the kind that you put on your roof and he’s falling. Also wondering who is the original owner of the pack and play from the nursery. If no one comes forward these items will be given away. Please see Robin.
Winter Jam comes to the Schottenstein Center on Friday January 26th at 7pm with the doors opening at 6pm. This concert features Steven Curtis Chapman, Jeremy Camp, New Song, Hawk Nelson, Sanctus Real, among others. There are no presale tickets for this show. It is just $10.00 at the door with general admission seating. Come early. Last year this concert sold out.
Food Fight 2007 We will begin the 2007 competition immediately. The cost will be $8 a month (can pay $2 a week if you wish) for the total of $52 for the year to be paid by July 14. It is a great blessing to see folks lose weight and gain health as a result of this competition. This year will include more newsletters (provided nothing happens to keep me from it) and an effort to get together for exercises or walks. See Robin if you wish to join.
Free To Good Home: Does anyone want an exercise bike? See Robin for details immediately. This is going to Goodwill next week if no one wants it.
Happy Birthday Thursday: Makenna Brown Friday: John Eckelberry
Happy Anniversary: Monday: Dave and Renee Corbett
Don't put a question mark where God put a period.
Give God what's right, not what's left!
Never give the devil a ride! He will always want to drive!
We set the sail; God makes the wind.
To be almost saved, is to be totally lost.
If we don't change the Message, the Message can change us.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT…CHILD TRAINING
By J. Richard Fugate
From the introduction: This book is a study designed to help parents better understand their role as parents and to discover the mechanics for successfully raising children. To accomplish these ends this book will carefully define parental accountability, authority, and responsibility. It will also describe the nature of a child and explain his different stages of development. With these principles firmly established, the book will present the Biblical system for training children.
Being a parent today is a difficult and often bewildering challenge. There are so many conflicting theories about child training that even the reputed “experts” disagree with each other. Everyone has his own opinion on how children should be raised. Some psychologists propose that parents should treat their children as equals. They say that parents should sit down with their child and reason things out together as if the child were an adult. Society has generally adopted the concept of children’s rights. In other words, the child is to be treated as an equal in society, in the school, and even with the parents in the family.
There also exist today certain advocates of the theory that parental use of physical discipline constitutes child abuse. This theory causes some parents to question their right to discipline their own children. Then there are those from the religious community with a confused view of love who equate love with permissiveness. This approach produces uncontrollable teenagers.
It is no surprise that such confusion about child rearing exists. About the only thing the reputed “experts” do agree upon is :”there is no set pattern for training children.” In other words, they say that there is no one right way to parent. With expert advise like this, it is no wonder that the past several generations of parents have been less than successful in raising their children. Parents have had few dependable authorities to whom they could turn for information.
Many parents have developed their own system of raising children. Such a system probably contains the elements of behavior modification and permissiveness mixed with the use of force when all else fails. The important question is, how do parents know when their own system is correct? Parents must recognize that the physical ability to have children does not qualify them for the task of properly rearing children.
Where do parents obtain training in the proper rearing of children? Some parents may expect for their training to come from the trial and error method – the hope that the second child will benefit from the mistakes made with the first, that the third will benefit from the mistakes made with the second, and so forth. Other parents believe they can be successful by simply avoiding the mistakes they think that their own parents made. To Be Continued next week.
