Let’s face it - our kids live in a world that is hostile, difficult, and painful. They’re in a battle for their lives - whether it's sex, drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, or just the culture of bigger, better, more. The question is, how do you help your child face these battles, see them for what they are, and then WIN? Chip answers that question and encourages us to step up and step in to make a difference in our kids' lives.

Have you ever seen a 5-year old drive a car? Well, you say, “Don’t be ridiculous!” Right! They watch you drive for years, before they begin to drive – with you in the car, and finally, they’re able to drive on their own. That’s a word picture for where Chip is headed today. Your children watch you as you live in obedience to the Lord, they practice obedience with you alongside, and finally, they live a life of love and obedience to God all on their own. Exactly how that process unfolds is what Chip explains in this message.

Introduction: God’s Dream for Your Child

1. You must understand your child’s two primary needs are for SIGNIFICANCE and SECURITY.
2. You must recognize your child’s primary responsibility is to learn OBEDIENCE.
3. You must remember, obedience is a DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS.
4. You must commit to providing the necessary RESOURCES for your child to learn obedience.
5. Obedience is achieved when your child has TRANSFERRED his/her primary love, submission, and dependency from YOU to JESUS CHRIST.

Three characteristics of righteous children

1. They make wise DECISIONS. -Philippians 1:9-11
2. They keep their COMMITMENTS. -Proverbs 20:6
3. They care genuinely for OTHERS. -John 15:13
