Releasing Arrows

Ephesians 6:1-4

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Psalm 127:3 (NASB 95)

1. Parents must exercise authority before you give them autonomy.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Proverbs 1:7 (CSB)

2. Use authority to train, not to crush.

Rules without relationship leads to rebellion.

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6 (ESV)

3. Transfer responsibility before you release them completely.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people.

Luke 2:52 (CSB)

Release them with prayer, not panic.
