Parenting on Purpose

What scares you to death? God does not call us to raise perfect children. He teaches us how to parent on purpose. “My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you.” — Proverbs 2:1–11 If you will… - Be Attentive & Receive - Call Out & Pray - Seek & Search Then you will… - Find & Understand Parenting on Purpose is about preparing the kid for the road/journey, not preparing the road/journey for the kid. “The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.” — Proverbs 21:31 Respect Obey Love Excel Share/Serve What about life and parenting scares you to death? “What then shall we say to these things?
