Children
The primary
responsibility of education DOES NOT belong to schools.
Don't let the indoctrination of your children bring shame to you.
And you shall love the LORD thy God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart: And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, 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. Deuteronomy 6:5-7
And, you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
My, son hear the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother. Proverbs 1:8
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. Proverbs 4:1
He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool has no joy. A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. Proverbs 17:21,25
Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
For the children are not obligated to store up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 2 Corinthians 12:14b (PNT)
"To
give children a good education in manners, arts and science is important; to
give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility
rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties." --Daniel
Webster "The joys of parents are
secret, and so are their griefs and fears: they cannot utter the one, nor will
they utter the other." --Sir Francis Bacon

Parents
& Children: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the
unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
1 Corinthians 7:14
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalms 127
Where Do Children Go When They Die? - By Brian Fischer - What happens to children who die but weren't old enough to make a decision for Christ? The Bible offers clues and hope. ...While we certainly might wish there was more information on this matter in Scripture, there is enough to give us a sense of assurance about the eternal destination of children who die early. ...Perhaps the clearest passage concerns David and the son he conceived in his adulterous liaison with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12:15-23). ...When talking about where children go when they die, questions about the age of accountability flow naturally from the conversation. Again, while we certainly could wish for more information on this topic, the Bible is clear enough to give us some definitive answers. That there is an "age of accountability" is evident from a very famous passage in Scripture found in Isaiah7:14-16. ..."He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted" (Isaiah 7:15-16). ...In the Jewish culture in which Jesus grew up, boys went through what today is called a "bar mitzvah" at age 12. ("Bar mitzvah" literally means "a son of the law.") At age 12, a boy was no longer to be considered a boy but a young man, who now had responsibility to make mature decisions and be held accountable for his own behavior. Before age 12, his parents were held accountable for his behavior, but from age 12 and on he was to accept full responsibility for his own decisions. This is why Jesus was in the Temple at age 12, "sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions" (Luke 2:46). Every adult male had a responsibility to be in Jerusalem for the major feasts, and Jesus was now regarded, at age 12, as an adult male with adult responsibilities.
Additional Scripture to consider...
1 Corinthians 7:13-14 - And the woman which has an husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
John 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If
ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin
remains.(Romans 2:11-13, 5:13, 7:7)
No, the Era of Spanking Is Not Over - By Bryan Fischer
According to the CDC, DOJ, DHHS
and the Bureau of the Census, the 30 percent
of children who live apart from their fathers will account for
63 percent of teen suicides,
70 percent of juveniles in state-operated
institutions, 71 percent of high-school
dropouts, 75 percent of children in
chemical-abuse centers, 80 percent of
rapists, 85 percent of youths in prison, and
85 percent of children who exhibit
behavioral disorders. In addition, 90 percent
of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes. In fact,
children born to unwed mothers are 10 times more likely to live in poverty as
children with fathers in the home.

Instruction & Discipline: Driven by love, not in anger or
frustration, but in love, to provide a foundational structure and a moral
compass for a virtuous direction in life. This parental love should override the
emotional excuse of guilt, if a working parent. Parental obligations need also
to reject "being friends" with their children when providing direction.
Children - Train up a child in the way he
should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
...In the case of defiant and contrary children, "spanking...has been shown to
result in less defiance and less aggression than 77% of alternative measures
(including time-out) with these children."
..."Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; but the rod of discipline drives
it far from him" (Proverbs 22:15).
...Now to be sure, discipline must be measured, controlled, and appropriate.
..."Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to
discipline him" (Proverbs 13:24).
..."The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to
his mother" (Proverbs 29:15)
...But loving discipline, on the other hand, yields fruit that is sweet to the
taste.
..."Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your
heart" (Proverbs 29:17).
...The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that we don't spank our
children. God recommends that we do. I think I'm going with God on this one.
- He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool has no
joy. A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare
him. Proverbs 17:21,25
- He that spares his rod hates his son: but he that loves him chastens him
betimes. Proverbs 13:24
- Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall
drive it far from him. Proverbs 22:15
- Withhold not correction from the child; for if you beats him with the rod, he
shall not die. Proverbs 23:13
- The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself brings his mother
to shame. Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give
delight unto thy soul. Proverbs 29:15,17
(...Or perhaps as a parent you believe Dr. Spock and Benjamin Siegel M.D.
possess more wisdom than the Word of God?)
Mark 10:13-14 - And they brought young children to him, that he
should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when
Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little
children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of
God.
'The
most popular child-rearing book ever' is back! Practical guide to bringing
up kids based on biblical wisdom - 2010 WorldNetDaily - After
raising his own six children and learning many things the hard way, author
and pastor Reb Bradley wrote a practical guide to bringing up kids that
uses biblical wisdom as its basis. Entitled simply
"Child Training Tips," Bradley's book presents common obstacles to
successful parenting and solutions to help overcome them. Bradley warns against the
"child-run" home, where decisions are made or influenced by the children. Some
statements that might be overheard in such a home, Bradley says, are: "I can't
make that for dinner at our house, the kids just won't eat it." "We can't go
there, the kids will be bored!" "We could never take our children into the
church service. They wouldn't last." Writes Bradley: "Parents who say, 'Junior
just refuses to …' or 'My child just won't put up with …' have given up their
authority and put their children in charge of their home. They have granted
their children veto power and in doing so must follow their children's
leadership." To re-establish control of the home, he writes, parents must: "1)
Keep your objective in mind – subjection of their will, 2) Require quick
obedience, and 3) Teach your children to obey without being told 'why.'" Bradley covers how to attain those
goals and discusses the correct modes of discipline. He warns parents against
using common incorrect methods of discipline, which he identifies as: repeating
instructions and making threats, bribing for obedience, allowing excuses,
tricking or manipulating and distracting. Give ear, O my people, to my
law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a
parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and
our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, showing
to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his
wonderful works that he has done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and
appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make
them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even
the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their
children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of
God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn
and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and
whose spirit was not steadfast with God. The children of Ephraim, being armed,
and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept not the covenant
of God, and refused to walk in his law; And forget his works, and his wonders
that he had showed them. Psalms 78:1-11
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates;
he has blessed your children within you.
Psalms 147:13
