“Getting Children Ready For The Storms”
from Meadowbrook Baptist Church Hosted by Tim Baker
Matthew 7:24-27 I. Be A Wise Builder. (vs. 24,26) “Train up a child” means to lay the basic foundation. This is to be done at the beginning. Give your child great love and definite limits. Set limits and enforce them in an atmosphere of love. A wise parent prepares now for later. II. Build With The Right Material. Building on the rock, as opposed to the sand, will take more time and be more laborious. There’s a lot of shifting sands available in parenting books. Take the Bible and apply it not using a full-court press approach, or a cafeteria approach but a wisdom approach: take advantage of teachable moments. III. Release Them For The Blast. The storms always come, and they test your training. The storms swirl around the foundation. Those built on the sand cannot stand. Children with a strong spiritual foundation are better equipped to handle the storms of life. CONCULSION: Children with a strong spiritual foundation are better equipped to handle the storms of life.
