Get Prepared, and God will use you! If it was illegal to attend church, would you still come? How much do you listen to the preacher? If your Bible was taken away, how would you teach/preach to others? If your Bible was taken away, how would you have devotions?

Dealing with Rebellion Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. The first rebellion was when Satan tried to exalt himself above God. Satan rebelled against God because he was filled with pride. King Uzziah was a great king for almost 52 years. As long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. Let every soul be subject unto the higher power. Every person is to be subject to the governing authority over them. There are FIVE spheres of Human Authority: Legitimate state authority over its citizens. Legitimate parental authority over their children. Legitimate authority of husbands over their wives.

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.

Determine to use God's Word instead of worldly counsels. Don't consider children a burden, or a robber of your time and pleasure. Never make possessions more important than relationships. Beware of comparing children and spouse with others. Don't make a federal case out of kids being children. Be Aware of threatening constantly, but disciplining inconsistently. Beware of belittling children or spouses. Beware of saying during discipline "this is hurting my reputation." Husbands and wives should not argue in front of the children. Don't argue with your spouse when you are disciplining a child. Don't spend time bragging on talents as opposed to character. Be careful to not allow the television or radioEmail: [email protected]
