Jesus did not come to teach us how to take what was ours; Satan had already taught us that!

Jesus came to teach us how to give away, how to turn loose of everything we have. He came to teach us how to give in order to teach us how to live.

He came to demonstrate how to give a life away. That is the subject of this lesson.

A parent's greatest joy is for his children to walk in Truth: therefore, a parent's greatest concern is the spiritual battle that goes on in his child's life.

Their struggle is a battle going on in the Heavenlies for control of their souls.

Satan is feeding them the lie that they can live independently of God.

God is nurturing them with the seed of Lordship.

Every choice they make is a choice to yield to one of those two.

We live in a world in which we find ourselves deluged with information on how to raise our children.

The problem is what to do with the information we know. First of all, we need to define whether the precepts are from God or whether they are man's concepts.

We have a responsibility to do that which God has convicted or encouraged us to do.

The book of Proverbs draws a contrast between the diligent man and the slothful man.
