    Love enemies

    When someone hates, respond with love; “Remember he has a soul.”

    Not natural – must be deliberate choice.

    Revenge, hatred

              • Specific Goal

              Passage(s) to discuss & guide

              Ways (grand)parents can exemplify and teach

              Temptations and hindrances

              Genuinely love the Bible

              Psalm 119; Mark 4:3-20

              Look forward to Bible reading and teaching; talk about its benefits

              If we’re not actively applying and teaching, it’s hard to read. Appreciate its treasures!

              Read the news, novels, sports, homework, etc. all the time … and the Bible a few minutes on Sunday

              Read the Bible

              Psalm 1; I Corinthians 14:19 (point is to read and understand)

              Read it yourself! Read together or aloud. Help through difficulties in habit forming, understanding

              Be aware; judgment needed with translations and paraphrases

              Reading it just to check a box.
