Christ for our Kids (Talking Points for Sunday A.M. 9/2/2012)

According to Ephesians 6:1-4 the Christ centered model for the relationship between parents and their children emphasizes:

1. Parents are given authority over their children.
2. Parents are to exercise benevolent discipline toward their children.
3. Parents are to raise their children to know the Lord.
4. Children are to see their parents as a gift from God.
5. Children who receive godly instruction will reap the fruits of their obedience well into their adult lives.
