Purpose of Parents

I posted this a couple of months ago but I wanted to post again in case you missed it.

Purpose of Parents

Deuteronomy 6:1-25

1. Parents must start with the task of learning. (1-6)
2. Parents are to teach the family what they have learned. (7-9)
3. Parents are to set the priorities for the family. (10-19)
4. Parents are to be a witness to the family for Jesus. (20-25)

Proverbs 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

God's Timing

-A young man once asked God how long a million years was to him.
-God replied, "A million years to me is just like a single second to you."
-The young man asked God what a million dollars was to him.
-God replied, "A million dollars to me is just like a single penny to you."
-Then the young man got his courage up and asked, "God, could I have one of your pennies?"
-God smiled and replies, "Certainly, just a second."

Running Hurts My Knees!

I never liked running very much. Running while playing basketball was fine but just running to run always seemed boring. We now have the WI Fit and running is still not one of my favorite things to do, although it is better than the hula hoop (that is not a pretty sight). We can run for many different reasons; exercise, relaxation, or getting chased by a 4 year old. Running can sometimes make its way into our spiritual lives as well. We sometimes run from God. Read the book of Jonah and see how running from God can hurt you in your relationship with Christ.
