WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT…CHILD TRAINING continued
By J. Richard Fugate
Continued from the introduction: It is the author’s prayer that this book may begin a return to God’s Word for the information that will enable mankind to find God’s purpose for life. The results would not only be the restoration of our civilization, but also the glorification of God.
Principles of Authority
Authority! Here is a word that all rebels hate. Authority is a concept that causes a negative response in those who do not understand its proper meaning and use. Recent generations almost react as if they had been programmed against even the legitimate use of authority. A general attitude exists today of distrust and disrespect for all positions of rulership. The misunderstanding of God’s principles for authority, added to experience with authoritarians who have truly misused their power, has caused many to reject the concept altogether. Many parents have
abdicated their role and have withdrawn from even the proper use of authority.
We need to study the principles of authority so that we will not be deceived into a programmed response against the very system God has established for our freedom. First, we will look at the definition of authority. From that definition we will study some characteristics of God’s authority and determine the principles for human authority.
Authority means “the right to rule; the power to act, decide, command, and judge.” It is the right to set policy, the rulership to command subordinates, and the power to administer judgment to those who disobey the commands or to reward those who conform.
At first glance, it may appear that authority is unbridled power which can be used to oppress those who are subject to it. Although it is true that there are, and always have been, those who abuse the power of authority, these exceptions do not change the principle. The power of authority is not without controls or limits. God has established rules and boundaries to govern the use of all authority. Even more importantly, God is always in control. He has the position and the power to enforce His will over all other authorities.



A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."

After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, And I wanted to stay with you guys."

One particular four-year-old prayed, “And forgive us our trash baskets As we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.”
3-year-old Reese: “Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen.”
