Guiding Children's Lives

Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6

Commandments in Conversations and Sight

"These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.  " You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.  "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead .  "You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9

Who will you serve?

"If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve : whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living ; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Joshua 24:15

Fathers and Children

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:1-4

Strength and Love

Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Do everything in love.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Correction out of love

My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD Or loathe His reproof,  For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:11-12

Generations

Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth ;  who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin ; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."

Exodus 34:6-7

Fatherly and Godly Compassion

Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

Psalm 103:13
