Review of last year’s lesson The Purpose: The purpose of the lesson was two-part: first, to learn from the lives and choices of seven parents in the scriptures, and second, to study seven principles from the Bible for child rearing. Seven Parents in Scripture: Adam - The deceived father (Genesis 3:8-12). Our choices as parents affect our children. Abraham - The obedient father (Genesis 22:2-3; 12). God must be first in all things.Not kids first; God first. Joshua - The determined father (Joshua 24:15). It requires firm resolve to establish and maintain a God-honoring family.

I would like to expand on a couple of points that we stressed last week in the area of separation.

They were God’s chosen people, and in Exodus 34 and Leviticus 7, they were given very specific instructions about intermarriage with heathen nations. There are three Scriptural distinctions that I would like to expand upon in this area of separation. I believe this will help you in your study of Scripture.

I was, presently, religious in my own eyes; but, alas, this seeming goodness had no solid foundation, but passed away like a morning cloud, or an early dew!
