OFFERING VERSES
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Remember to give with the motivation suggested in Scripture
Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful (grace oriented) giver.
OFFERING SONG
He is Exalted
TODAY’S STUDY
Unconditional Love Leads to Unconditional Parenting
Beloved (ones), let us love one another (unconditionally), for (unconditional) love is from (the source of) God; and everyone who loves (unconditionally) is born of God (they are believers in Christ) and (everyone who loves (unconditionally) knows God.
The one who does not love (unconditionally) does not know God, for God is (unconditional) love.
By this (unconditional love from the source of God) the (unconditional) love of God was manifested (made clearly visible) in us (through the New Self), that God (the Father) has sent His only begotten (uniquely born) Son into the world so that we might live (the Zoe Life…the resurrection life) through Him.
In this (sending of His Son) is (unconditional) love, not that we loved God (the Father unconditionally), but that He (God the Father) loved us (unconditionally) and sent His Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) to be the propitiation (the ONLY perfectly satisfactory payment recognized by God the Father) for our sins.
Beloved (ones), if (1) God (the Father) so loved us (unconditionally, and He did), we also ought to love one another (unconditionally).
BREAK
When I Think About Home
Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in (union with) Christ Jesus.
KAHLIL GIBRAN…THE PROPHET
“On Children”
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said,
“Speak to us of Children.” And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you…
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
KAHLIL GIBRAN…THE PROPHET
“On Children”
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls…
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow…
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
KAHLIL GIBRAN…THE PROPHET
“On Children”
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward…
nor does it tarry with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your
children as living arrows are sent forth.
KAHLIL GIBRAN…THE PROPHET
“On Children”
The archer (God) sees the mark
upon the path of the infinite…
And He bends you (parents) with His might
That His arrows (your children)
may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the
archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies…
So He loves also the bow that is stable.
He who withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently.
Discipline your son while there is hope, and do not desire his death.
Train up (dedicate yourself to) a child in the way he should go (narrow his path), even when he is old he will not depart (turn away) from it.
Foolishness (folly) is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.
Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die.//You shall strike him with the rod And rescue his soul from Sheol.
Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; He will also delight your soul.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.//HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise), //SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON
THE EARTH.
