To influence the lives of our children and disciples for lasting impact, we must assume responsibility in training them. Proverbs 22:6 commands parents to train up their children and guide their will towards the direction God intends for them to to go.
How can parents train their children? The overarching principle is that across life stages, you adjust your style.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- In what ways are you modeling submission and respect to authorities? In what ways are you not?
- What have you missed out on in TRAINING your disciples or children? How will you improve?
- In what area of your life do you need to practice submission to God right now (apply “one command obedience” to the Lord)?
PRAY, CARE, SHARE
- Pray for submissive hearts to the Lord for the people you are reaching out to.
- Be submissive and obedient to your spouse (husband), parents, bosses, and government, in order to win them over to the Lord.
- Share God’s Word, the good news that Jesus Christ transforms hearts and lives!
