Parental Love - What the Bible Says...

I have been praying over my children and our relationships the past few days.  God has really opened my heart and my eyes to some scripture that I have been praying over and I wanted to share it with you...

Discipline is a hallmark of parental love.
Proverbs 13:24

Discipline brings peace in the family.
Proverbs 29:17

Do not anger children with harsh or unfair discipline.
Ephesians 6:4

Do not make children bitter or discouraged.
Colossians 3:21

  2. Oh Becky, I have been struggling, really struggling, with discipline and guidance. I just ordered a book for S to use and hope it comes in this week "Gods Promises for Girls" they have it for boys as well. http://www.christianbook.com/gods-promises-for-girls/jack-countryman/9781400315918/pd/315918
    I also pre-ordered "Unglued" by Lysa Turkeurst for myself. I read the sample of the book on the website and think that it is a parellel to my life and I am very excited about getting it in. It should ship on the 31st of this month. You can find it here... http://www.christianbook.com/unglued-making-wise-choices-midst-emotions/lysa-terkeurst/9780310332794/pd/332794

    Maybe one of those things will help you out on your new journey! I sure hope they help us in our home.

  3. Bible says:Love the sinner, hate the sin.Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.
