The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Train Up A Child In The Way He Should Go | February 26, 2026
- The goal is
- 00:00:01.024 --> 00:00:03.860
- To let them imitate
- 00:00:03.860 --> 00:00:05.395
- Jesus, to be like jesus.
- 00:00:05.395 --> 00:00:08.131
- Well, that is so high up there.
- 00:00:08.131 --> 00:00:10.233
- It is.
- 00:00:10.233 --> 00:00:12.001
- Romans 828.
- 00:00:12.001 --> 00:00:13.870
- All things work together for good to those
- 00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:16.239
- Who love the lord.
- 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:17.307
- Those who are the called according to his prayer.
- 00:00:17.307 --> 00:00:19.576
- Doesn't that sound great? i love that verse.
- 00:00:19.576 --> 00:00:21.678
- Whatever is happening,
- 00:00:21.678 --> 00:00:22.979
- All things are going to
- 00:00:22.979 --> 00:00:24.080
- Work out for god's glory and for god's good.
- 00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:26.816
- I love that verse that romans 828,
- 00:00:26.816 --> 00:00:29.919
- But romans 829 said,
- 00:00:29.919 --> 00:00:33.523
- Your children are to conform.
- 00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:38.795
- To the lord jesus christ.
- 00:00:39.362 --> 00:00:59.682
- What is a world view?
- 00:01:00.183 --> 00:01:03.820
- Somebody will say, well, i don't know.
- 00:01:04.654 --> 00:01:06.456
- Let me tell you exactly what it is.
- 00:01:06.456 --> 00:01:09.259
- It is a philosophy of life.
- 00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:15.298
- It is how you and i look on life.
- 00:01:16.032 --> 00:01:20.803
- All of life.
- 00:01:21.137 --> 00:01:23.139
- Animal life.
- 00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:25.842
- Homo sapiens.
- 00:01:25.842 --> 00:01:27.076
- Human life
- 00:01:27.076 --> 00:01:29.279
- And how we relate
- 00:01:29.279 --> 00:01:31.814
- To the universe
- 00:01:31.814 --> 00:01:34.184
- And to the earth.
- 00:01:34.184 --> 00:01:36.586
- Basic definition of worldview.
- 00:01:36.586 --> 00:01:41.558
- A christian worldview begins
- 00:01:42.158 --> 00:01:44.427
- In genesis one two, three,
- 00:01:44.427 --> 00:01:47.897
- And there are four.
- 00:01:48.364 --> 00:01:56.339
- Cornerstones
- 00:01:56.673 --> 00:01:58.808
- Got me of a worldview.
- 00:01:58.808 --> 00:02:01.811
- Four cornerstones
- 00:02:02.245 --> 00:02:04.547
- Of how those who are in christ
- 00:02:04.547 --> 00:02:08.585
- See and view the world in which we now live.
- 00:02:08.585 --> 00:02:12.922
- In the 21st century.
- 00:02:12.922 --> 00:02:16.593
- For cornerstones.
- 00:02:17.026 --> 00:02:22.265
- This is the foundation,
- 00:02:22.765 --> 00:02:25.635
- Our worldview, these cornerstones
- 00:02:25.635 --> 00:02:28.605
- Upon which we have to stand
- 00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:33.076
- Before we can proceed to any other assumptions.
- 00:02:33.076 --> 00:02:36.112
- Our decisions in life.
- 00:02:36.112 --> 00:02:42.018
- If the foundation
- 00:02:42.452 --> 00:02:43.653
- Are being destroyed.
- 00:02:43.653 --> 00:02:46.789
- What shall the righteous do?
- 00:02:46.789 --> 00:02:48.925
- We've looked at that verse before,
- 00:02:48.925 --> 00:02:52.228
- And i think all of us can agree, as we look
- 00:02:52.228 --> 00:02:55.098
- At these foundations, that they're being destroyed.
- 00:02:55.098 --> 00:03:00.203
- That is a central attack
- 00:03:00.737 --> 00:03:03.673
- Of slue foot, the
- 00:03:04.107 --> 00:03:05.108
- Evil one destroy the foundations,
- 00:03:05.108 --> 00:03:07.844
- And we see around us all of those foundations
- 00:03:07.844 --> 00:03:11.381
- Upon which western civilization, and of which
- 00:03:11.381 --> 00:03:15.084
- All of us really have basically stood for most of our lives.
- 00:03:15.084 --> 00:03:19.055
- They're being systematically destroyed.
- 00:03:19.055 --> 00:03:23.960
- Here's the foundation.
- 00:03:24.427 --> 00:03:27.196
- That's our christian worldview.
- 00:03:27.196 --> 00:03:30.400
- There are one, two,
- 00:03:30.867 --> 00:03:33.036
- Three, four cornerstones.
- 00:03:33.036 --> 00:03:37.006
- And the foundation.
- 00:03:37.006 --> 00:03:38.341
- The first cornerstone.
- 00:03:38.341 --> 00:03:43.046
- Jesus tells us
- 00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:46.082
- He was asked in matthew 22
- 00:03:46.082 --> 00:03:49.452
- By lawyer.
- 00:03:49.752 --> 00:03:52.889
- Difficult, isn't it?
- 00:03:53.356 --> 00:03:56.225
- By lawyer.
- 00:03:56.225 --> 00:03:59.162
- What is the great commandment
- 00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:00.797
- According to the law?
- 00:04:00.797 --> 00:04:03.599
- And jesus answered,
- 00:04:04.067 --> 00:04:06.936
- You shall love the lord thy god with all of your heart,
- 00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:10.206
- With all your soul, with all your mind.
- 00:04:10.206 --> 00:04:14.043
- That is the first cornerstone.
- 00:04:14.644 --> 00:04:17.947
- And then we look in the new testament
- 00:04:18.748 --> 00:04:21.584
- And we discover that
- 00:04:21.584 --> 00:04:23.753
- If we love god with all of our heart, our soul
- 00:04:23.753 --> 00:04:26.622
- And our mind, with our emotions, with our conscience,
- 00:04:26.622 --> 00:04:29.659
- With the total essence of who we are
- 00:04:29.659 --> 00:04:31.928
- And with all of our strength
- 00:04:31.928 --> 00:04:34.831
- That enables
- 00:04:35.164 --> 00:04:36.132
- Us to understand how god loved us
- 00:04:36.132 --> 00:04:38.835
- And bringing his son jesus christ into the world,
- 00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:42.772
- Who gives us abundant life now
- 00:04:42.772 --> 00:04:45.408
- And a full life forever.
- 00:04:45.408 --> 00:04:48.211
- So the first cornerstone
- 00:04:48.745 --> 00:04:52.548
- Is to love god
- 00:04:52.882 --> 00:04:55.785
- And to love jesus christ and this enables us
- 00:04:55.785 --> 00:04:59.722
- To do the next thing, the next cornerstone.
- 00:04:59.722 --> 00:05:02.625
- Remember what jesus said
- 00:05:02.625 --> 00:05:05.128
- Love the lord thy god with everything you got.
- 00:05:05.128 --> 00:05:08.498
- That's the first commandment, the first cornerstone.
- 00:05:09.532 --> 00:05:12.201
- The second cornerstone is to love your neighbor.
- 00:05:12.201 --> 00:05:15.371
- Love other people.
- 00:05:15.805 --> 00:05:17.707
- We're not able to love only as we have been loved.
- 00:05:17.707 --> 00:05:21.844
- Some people have a tough time loving
- 00:05:21.844 --> 00:05:23.880
- Because they haven't understood
- 00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:25.982
- The total love of god, and they haven't been loved by others.
- 00:05:25.982 --> 00:05:29.986
- So we do not
- 00:05:29.986 --> 00:05:31.053
- Have the total capacity to love first cornerstone.
- 00:05:31.053 --> 00:05:34.424
- Love god. love jesus christ.
- 00:05:34.424 --> 00:05:36.692
- Second cornerstone.
- 00:05:36.692 --> 00:05:38.094
- We're unable to do that,
- 00:05:38.094 --> 00:05:40.029
- To love our neighbors and to love people
- 00:05:40.029 --> 00:05:42.165
- Because we have been given love to christ and to the love
- 00:05:42.165 --> 00:05:45.868
- Of god. second cornerstone.
- 00:05:45.868 --> 00:05:49.138
- Third cornerstone is
- 00:05:49.605 --> 00:05:52.408
- Marriage.
- 00:05:52.708 --> 00:05:54.644
- You love your wife.
- 00:05:54.644 --> 00:05:55.611
- You love your husband.
- 00:05:55.611 --> 00:05:57.847
- And we've talked about this in many places,
- 00:05:57.847 --> 00:06:00.216
- But particularly in ephesians chapter five.
- 00:06:00.216 --> 00:06:03.152
- Third cornerstone love
- 00:06:03.152 --> 00:06:05.855
- God, love jesus christ.
- 00:06:05.855 --> 00:06:08.925
- Love your neighbor.
- 00:06:08.925 --> 00:06:09.759
- Love other people.
- 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.761
- And finally, husbands, love your wife and wives.
- 00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:14.564
- Love your husbands.
- 00:06:14.564 --> 00:06:17.099
- Fourth cornerstone
- 00:06:17.099 --> 00:06:19.669
- Love your children.
- 00:06:19.669 --> 00:06:21.671
- Love your kids.
- 00:06:21.671 --> 00:06:24.640
- Now, how do you do that?
- 00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:28.978
- How do you love your children?
- 00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:32.582
- How does that operate?
- 00:06:33.049 --> 00:06:35.418
- So we're going to be talking about for
- 00:06:35.418 --> 00:06:38.187
- The next several weeks
- 00:06:38.187 --> 00:06:41.157
- About loving kids.
- 00:06:41.157 --> 00:06:44.126
- And we're going to look at the bible that tells us
- 00:06:44.126 --> 00:06:48.130
- With clear instructions
- 00:06:48.631 --> 00:06:51.367
- How to truly love our children.
- 00:06:51.367 --> 00:06:55.905
- So where do we start?
- 00:06:56.405 --> 00:06:59.175
- I think we start with a most familiar verse
- 00:06:59.175 --> 00:07:02.078
- We have about family and kids and all the bible.
- 00:07:02.078 --> 00:07:05.448
- Most of us are familiar with found in proverbs.
- 00:07:05.448 --> 00:07:08.251
- We all know it,
- 00:07:08.251 --> 00:07:09.752
- But i'm going to read it in order to be accurate.
- 00:07:09.752 --> 00:07:13.990
- How do we love our kids?
- 00:07:14.524 --> 00:07:15.825
- We train up a child, a kid,
- 00:07:15.825 --> 00:07:19.896
- And the way he should go,
- 00:07:20.463 --> 00:07:23.266
- And when he is old,
- 00:07:23.266 --> 00:07:24.734
- He will not depart from it.
- 00:07:24.734 --> 00:07:29.138
- That's how we love our kids.
- 00:07:29.739 --> 00:07:32.141
- We train, not down.
- 00:07:32.141 --> 00:07:35.144
- We train up
- 00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:38.214
- Our children.
- 00:07:38.214 --> 00:07:39.982
- I want to put this into a grid.
- 00:07:39.982 --> 00:07:43.019
- And by the way, it begins the first season of training.
- 00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:47.523
- Please.
- 00:07:47.757 --> 00:07:48.658
- Ashley says there's a season forever.
- 00:07:48.658 --> 00:07:50.526
- And with our children, there are seasons.
- 00:07:50.526 --> 00:07:53.362
- There is 0 to 3
- 00:07:53.729 --> 00:07:57.066
- In that season.
- 00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:58.968
- I call it the season of being a servant.
- 00:07:58.968 --> 00:08:02.838
- It's the servant season because that's
- 00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:06.709
- When the parents especially, particularly mother.
- 00:08:06.709 --> 00:08:10.279
- 90% of it looks like to that little one
- 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.983
- In every way, health, food,
- 00:08:13.983 --> 00:08:18.054
- Care, sleep, nurture.
- 00:08:18.054 --> 00:08:21.857
- That's when the child follow me closely
- 00:08:21.857 --> 00:08:25.494
- Is the center of everything.
- 00:08:25.494 --> 00:08:28.097
- And the mother and the dad surrogate.
- 00:08:28.097 --> 00:08:32.101
- The mother is a total servant
- 00:08:32.101 --> 00:08:34.503
- Of the child for the child to survive.
- 00:08:34.503 --> 00:08:37.440
- Now other animals,
- 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.908
- When they're born, by the way, they can survive,
- 00:08:39.875 --> 00:08:42.278
- They can make it. humans cannot.
- 00:08:42.278 --> 00:08:43.980
- Maybe we have a longer period of time
- 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:47.149
- In order to be safe
- 00:08:47.149 --> 00:08:49.185
- And secure than other animals.
- 00:08:49.185 --> 00:08:52.254
- And we are not an animal in the general sense,
- 00:08:52.254 --> 00:08:55.424
- But in the particular sense made in the image of god.
- 00:08:55.424 --> 00:08:58.060
- God planned, evidently, for it to take more time.
- 00:08:58.060 --> 00:09:01.831
- It takes more time for mom to be in this servant role.
- 00:09:02.865 --> 00:09:07.336
- Where guess what?
- 00:09:07.336 --> 00:09:08.204
- The child
- 00:09:08.204 --> 00:09:09.372
- Is the center of everything and the life of that mom.
- 00:09:09.372 --> 00:09:12.541
- Health, safety, food,
- 00:09:12.541 --> 00:09:15.411
- Temperament, everything.
- 00:09:15.945 --> 00:09:18.214
- Now, the mother here misunderstands what i'm saying.
- 00:09:18.214 --> 00:09:21.550
- It's a time of being a servant.
- 00:09:21.550 --> 00:09:24.020
- And then the second year you begin to move
- 00:09:24.020 --> 00:09:27.390
- Into the wonderful experience of toilet training.
- 00:09:27.390 --> 00:09:31.193
- You see, you begin to require something of the child.
- 00:09:32.261 --> 00:09:35.665
- Then the child begins to,
- 00:09:35.665 --> 00:09:37.500
- You know, to to eat, maybe get something on the
- 00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.202
- Maybe they begin the second year,
- 00:09:40.202 --> 00:09:41.771
- But try to put on their clothes and we develop that.
- 00:09:41.771 --> 00:09:45.374
- And all of this is involved as those first two years.
- 00:09:45.374 --> 00:09:49.345
- Now season number two
- 00:09:49.845 --> 00:09:53.115
- Goes from 3 to 13,
- 00:09:53.115 --> 00:09:57.086
- Ten years.
- 00:09:57.386 --> 00:09:59.288
- And now things totally change.
- 00:09:59.288 --> 00:10:01.924
- Parents.
- 00:10:01.924 --> 00:10:03.626
- No longer are you the servant and the child is the sinner.
- 00:10:03.626 --> 00:10:07.697
- But now mom and dad are the center.
- 00:10:07.697 --> 00:10:11.000
- Stay with me.
- 00:10:11.367 --> 00:10:13.436
- Some people do not make this transition.
- 00:10:13.436 --> 00:10:16.605
- And the child becomes an idol.
- 00:10:16.605 --> 00:10:19.341
- Mom and dad are the center.
- 00:10:19.341 --> 00:10:20.976
- And the child begins to feel this.
- 00:10:20.976 --> 00:10:23.946
- All of a sudden, they're required to
- 00:10:23.946 --> 00:10:25.781
- Eat at a certain time. i don't want to eat now.
- 00:10:25.781 --> 00:10:28.217
- This is where we eat.
- 00:10:28.217 --> 00:10:29.552
- They get up at a certain time.
- 00:10:29.552 --> 00:10:30.786
- I don't want to get up. there's.
- 00:10:30.786 --> 00:10:31.787
- When we get up,
- 00:10:31.787 --> 00:10:32.855
- We go to bed a certain that this is the second stage.
- 00:10:32.855 --> 00:10:35.925
- The first stage. your servant.
- 00:10:35.925 --> 00:10:37.593
- The second stage.
- 00:10:37.593 --> 00:10:38.561
- You are a leader
- 00:10:38.561 --> 00:10:41.597
- And you teach that child
- 00:10:41.597 --> 00:10:44.366
- Obedience and submission.
- 00:10:44.366 --> 00:10:47.103
- You are in control.
- 00:10:47.103 --> 00:10:49.071
- Now the modern world says,
- 00:10:49.071 --> 00:10:51.207
- You know, you got to tell your chair.
- 00:10:51.207 --> 00:10:53.075
- No, no, no, no.
- 00:10:53.075 --> 00:10:54.543
- You didn't explain anything. why?
- 00:10:54.543 --> 00:10:57.446
- Just because i told you that.
- 00:10:57.446 --> 00:10:59.048
- Set period from 3 to 13.
- 00:10:59.048 --> 00:11:00.683
- If you try to go into something else, you're not ready.
- 00:11:00.683 --> 00:11:03.152
- It's just because i told you so.
- 00:11:03.152 --> 00:11:05.087
- Stop.
- 00:11:05.087 --> 00:11:06.355
- Turn around. don't do that.
- 00:11:06.355 --> 00:11:08.991
- When god gave the ten commandments
- 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.494
- That he asked the israelites,
- 00:11:11.494 --> 00:11:12.695
- Well, let's talk about the word about the one on adultery,
- 00:11:12.695 --> 00:11:15.231
- Y'all, for that one hour stealing?
- 00:11:15.231 --> 00:11:18.234
- No, god said this is it.
- 00:11:18.234 --> 00:11:21.103
- So, parents
- 00:11:21.437 --> 00:11:23.539
- 3 to 13.
- 00:11:23.539 --> 00:11:25.708
- What do you say?
- 00:11:25.708 --> 00:11:27.076
- What do you command?
- 00:11:27.076 --> 00:11:28.544
- That is when you are authoritative.
- 00:11:28.544 --> 00:11:30.613
- Well, you will be me.
- 00:11:30.613 --> 00:11:32.181
- No, that's a sign of love.
- 00:11:32.181 --> 00:11:33.849
- We'll talk about discipline later on.
- 00:11:33.849 --> 00:11:35.985
- It's a sign of love.
- 00:11:35.985 --> 00:11:38.721
- You love that which you discipline.
- 00:11:38.721 --> 00:11:41.891
- That what you require.
- 00:11:41.891 --> 00:11:44.260
- And we'll see that developing in our study.
- 00:11:44.260 --> 00:11:47.029
- So this is a time of leadership,
- 00:11:47.029 --> 00:11:50.466
- A time which mom and dad
- 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.002
- Takes the role of god in their life.
- 00:11:53.002 --> 00:11:57.206
- I wrote standing on the promises
- 00:11:57.907 --> 00:11:59.909
- This little book, years ago, because life has a way
- 00:11:59.909 --> 00:12:03.479
- Of shaking us right to our very foundations.
- 00:12:03.479 --> 00:12:08.517
- We all face days when circumstances
- 00:12:08.517 --> 00:12:11.287
- Feel bigger than our faith, and the very ground
- 00:12:11.287 --> 00:12:14.423
- On which we stand seems to be shaking.
- 00:12:14.423 --> 00:12:17.259
- But over the years, i found there's
- 00:12:18.027 --> 00:12:20.095
- Something that never changes.
- 00:12:20.095 --> 00:12:23.232
- God keeps his promises.
- 00:12:23.232 --> 00:12:25.534
- This book is designed to help you hold on to that truth
- 00:12:25.534 --> 00:12:29.839
- Every single day, 24/7.
- 00:12:29.839 --> 00:12:32.508
- Standing on the promises is a 365 day
- 00:12:32.508 --> 00:12:36.345
- Devotional short, practical, rooted in scripture,
- 00:12:36.345 --> 00:12:40.950
- Created to meet you right where you are.
- 00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:44.486
- Whether you're starting your day or ending your day, or
- 00:12:44.486 --> 00:12:47.423
- Or just needing encouragement in the middle of your day,
- 00:12:47.423 --> 00:12:50.726
- Each reading reminds you
- 00:12:51.260 --> 00:12:52.862
- That god's word is reliable.
- 00:12:52.862 --> 00:12:55.931
- His presence is real.
- 00:12:56.432 --> 00:12:59.335
- His promises are working even when you can't
- 00:12:59.335 --> 00:13:02.304
- See the results yet,
- 00:13:02.304 --> 00:13:03.873
- And you don't know which promise to claim.
- 00:13:03.873 --> 00:13:06.642
- My prayer is that this book becomes a daily companion.
- 00:13:06.642 --> 00:13:10.646
- Strengthen your faith.
- 00:13:11.113 --> 00:13:12.448
- Restore your confidence, and helping you stand firm
- 00:13:12.448 --> 00:13:16.385
- No matter what comes your way.
- 00:13:16.385 --> 00:13:18.888
- I invite you to call the number on the screen and order
- 00:13:18.888 --> 00:13:21.957
- Standing on the promises today, and discover
- 00:13:21.957 --> 00:13:25.494
- The peace that surpasses all human understanding
- 00:13:25.494 --> 00:13:29.598
- That comes from building your life
- 00:13:29.598 --> 00:13:32.067
- On god's un.
- 00:13:32.067 --> 00:13:34.169
- Changing word.
- 00:13:34.169 --> 00:13:38.274
- I read about
- 00:13:38.607 --> 00:13:39.341
- A christian psychotherapist.
- 00:13:39.341 --> 00:13:42.144
- He tells example.
- 00:13:42.144 --> 00:13:43.145
- A mother of a 16 year old said,
- 00:13:43.145 --> 00:13:45.948
- My 16 year old didn't respect me, man.
- 00:13:45.948 --> 00:13:48.851
- He comes home and he's on drugs and he's drunk and i,
- 00:13:48.851 --> 00:13:52.187
- I get on
- 00:13:52.187 --> 00:13:53.289
- To him and we, us and we argue and he just mean to me.
- 00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:56.358
- He says he hates me.
- 00:13:56.358 --> 00:13:58.560
- And he said, what am i to do about it?
- 00:13:58.560 --> 00:14:00.195
- And the christian psychotherapist said, well,
- 00:14:01.163 --> 00:14:04.066
- What you have to do is squeeze them back until they are
- 00:14:04.066 --> 00:14:07.736
- 12 months old.
- 00:14:07.736 --> 00:14:10.839
- Parents get that.
- 00:14:11.273 --> 00:14:13.776
- Stage two
- 00:14:13.776 --> 00:14:16.345
- Authority leadership by the parents.
- 00:14:16.345 --> 00:14:20.082
- Stage three
- 00:14:20.416 --> 00:14:23.319
- This is from 13 to 18.
- 00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:26.388
- And this is when you give reasons, folks.
- 00:14:26.388 --> 00:14:29.892
- This is when you explain what you're doing.
- 00:14:29.892 --> 00:14:32.328
- Now you reason with them.
- 00:14:32.328 --> 00:14:33.963
- 3 to 13.
- 00:14:33.963 --> 00:14:35.097
- Don't do any explanation. you don't need to explain.
- 00:14:35.097 --> 00:14:37.299
- You don't ask me for the actual.
- 00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:38.901
- They won't do any good.
- 00:14:38.901 --> 00:14:39.969
- They're beyond that point of reasoning.
- 00:14:39.969 --> 00:14:41.904
- They just.
- 00:14:41.904 --> 00:14:42.604
- This is it. and this is that.
- 00:14:42.604 --> 00:14:45.341
- You see, if we do these things in these stages.
- 00:14:45.341 --> 00:14:48.143
- Stage one.
- 00:14:48.444 --> 00:14:49.478
- Stage two.
- 00:14:49.478 --> 00:14:50.512
- We're ready for stage three.
- 00:14:50.512 --> 00:14:53.515
- They're growing up.
- 00:14:53.515 --> 00:14:54.483
- They they make the savior their own.
- 00:14:54.483 --> 00:14:56.785
- Primarily. you're still there.
- 00:14:56.785 --> 00:14:59.054
- The cherokees had a wonderful way
- 00:14:59.054 --> 00:15:02.024
- When when a
- 00:15:02.358 --> 00:15:03.225
- Young brave would come a certain age,
- 00:15:03.225 --> 00:15:06.061
- They would take that brave out in the middle of the forest.
- 00:15:06.061 --> 00:15:09.231
- They would say they would blindfold him,
- 00:15:10.065 --> 00:15:12.434
- And he would have to sit there on a stump
- 00:15:12.434 --> 00:15:15.404
- For no reason, taking the blindfold off.
- 00:15:15.404 --> 00:15:17.873
- Rain, snow, sleet, cold wind.
- 00:15:17.873 --> 00:15:21.844
- Never take the blindfold off
- 00:15:21.844 --> 00:15:23.879
- As the sun went down until the sun came up the next morning.
- 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.716
- And you can imagine a 13 year old young man out there
- 00:15:27.716 --> 00:15:31.086
- In the forest, surrounded by bears and lions.
- 00:15:31.086 --> 00:15:35.824
- And you know what?
- 00:15:35.824 --> 00:15:36.759
- In that day in snakes, the fear that had come
- 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.261
- With that blindfold all night long and the.
- 00:15:39.261 --> 00:15:42.731
- And the child was instructed never to tell anybody
- 00:15:42.731 --> 00:15:45.567
- What happens as you go through this transition into manhood.
- 00:15:45.567 --> 00:15:49.338
- And they sit there all night long with all the animals,
- 00:15:49.338 --> 00:15:52.608
- All the possibilities
- 00:15:52.608 --> 00:15:54.043
- Coming down
- 00:15:54.043 --> 00:15:54.977
- When the sun comes up, then they can
- 00:15:54.977 --> 00:15:56.712
- Take off their blindfold.
- 00:15:56.712 --> 00:15:58.247
- And when the young cherokee takes off the blindfold,
- 00:15:58.247 --> 00:16:01.383
- He looks, though he did not know it.
- 00:16:01.383 --> 00:16:03.619
- There was his father sitting on a stump about ten feet away.
- 00:16:03.619 --> 00:16:09.024
- See? that's it.
- 00:16:09.391 --> 00:16:10.125
- Parents did.
- 00:16:10.125 --> 00:16:11.460
- Did you get the picture?
- 00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:13.796
- And so this is when you begin to give them independence.
- 00:16:13.796 --> 00:16:17.199
- You begin them a way to make their own decisions.
- 00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:19.668
- You build the right stuff in their life.
- 00:16:19.668 --> 00:16:21.670
- You've gone through season one,
- 00:16:21.670 --> 00:16:24.473
- And now you've gone through season two,
- 00:16:24.473 --> 00:16:26.475
- When you
- 00:16:26.475 --> 00:16:27.676
- Were the commander in chief, the role of god in their life,
- 00:16:27.676 --> 00:16:30.612
- And they obeyed without question, without pouting.
- 00:16:30.612 --> 00:16:34.450
- You didn't negotiate.
- 00:16:34.450 --> 00:16:35.951
- I'll give you this if you'll do that.
- 00:16:35.951 --> 00:16:38.020
- Parents don't do that. that's stupid.
- 00:16:38.020 --> 00:16:40.355
- You're losing the battle of being a godly parent.
- 00:16:40.355 --> 00:16:44.426
- So let's not cover all of it.
- 00:16:45.060 --> 00:16:47.563
- This is a general introduction to our whole study
- 00:16:47.563 --> 00:16:50.466
- Of parenting.
- 00:16:50.466 --> 00:16:51.934
- But let's see.
- 00:16:51.934 --> 00:16:52.768
- The third thing i want to look at is
- 00:16:52.768 --> 00:16:55.604
- What is the goal of parenting?
- 00:16:55.604 --> 00:16:59.007
- What is the goal,
- 00:16:59.441 --> 00:17:01.677
- By the way?
- 00:17:01.677 --> 00:17:02.878
- It's helping them find out god's purpose for their life.
- 00:17:02.878 --> 00:17:06.849
- And this is the goal that parents have that
- 00:17:07.716 --> 00:17:10.452
- Lead him into that.
- 00:17:10.452 --> 00:17:11.453
- Let me say something just to the side.
- 00:17:11.453 --> 00:17:13.789
- You know what?
- 00:17:13.789 --> 00:17:14.790
- Being unsuccessful, somebody is unsuccessful
- 00:17:14.790 --> 00:17:18.994
- Is somebody who was a success
- 00:17:19.628 --> 00:17:22.831
- And it didn't have any meaning.
- 00:17:22.831 --> 00:17:25.234
- Do you get that
- 00:17:25.234 --> 00:17:27.669
- Unsuccessful person is
- 00:17:27.669 --> 00:17:29.071
- Somebody who was a success, but their success
- 00:17:29.071 --> 00:17:32.741
- Has no lasting meaning of significance,
- 00:17:32.741 --> 00:17:36.078
- That somebody who has unsuccessful success
- 00:17:36.078 --> 00:17:40.716
- Without meaning.
- 00:17:41.116 --> 00:17:43.051
- Parents, we have an obligation to say to our children,
- 00:17:43.051 --> 00:17:46.088
- God has a purpose for your life,
- 00:17:46.088 --> 00:17:49.324
- Has a plan for your life and agenda for your life,
- 00:17:49.324 --> 00:17:52.895
- And you will find it when you and we point them
- 00:17:52.895 --> 00:17:56.532
- Toward the goal.
- 00:17:56.532 --> 00:17:57.466
- What is the bullseye
- 00:17:57.466 --> 00:17:59.735
- That parents have?
- 00:18:00.169 --> 00:18:02.804
- Let me say, by the way, i'm not including everything.
- 00:18:02.804 --> 00:18:06.942
- Let me say, by the way, sometime parents can do
- 00:18:06.942 --> 00:18:10.012
- Everything that's possible to do it, all right?
- 00:18:10.012 --> 00:18:12.881
- And still a child will go astray.
- 00:18:12.881 --> 00:18:15.284
- Some will come back, some will not.
- 00:18:15.284 --> 00:18:18.053
- And we use this verse, by the way, in appropriately
- 00:18:18.053 --> 00:18:22.291
- Training of a child, the way he used to go.
- 00:18:22.291 --> 00:18:24.226
- And when he is old, he'll not depart from me.
- 00:18:24.226 --> 00:18:26.295
- Well, my child,
- 00:18:26.295 --> 00:18:27.963
- I tried to train him, but now he's out there.
- 00:18:27.963 --> 00:18:30.732
- He is drinking and he's had 16 marriages,
- 00:18:30.732 --> 00:18:33.835
- But he's going to come back home.
- 00:18:33.835 --> 00:18:35.837
- Listen, that verse is not a promise.
- 00:18:35.837 --> 00:18:39.675
- It's a principle.
- 00:18:39.675 --> 00:18:41.977
- Get the difference?
- 00:18:41.977 --> 00:18:43.212
- Train of a child the way you go.
- 00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:44.913
- And when they're old, they're not debarred from it.
- 00:18:44.913 --> 00:18:46.882
- That's not a promise. that is a principle.
- 00:18:46.882 --> 00:18:49.918
- Was god a good father?
- 00:18:50.385 --> 00:18:54.256
- Adam and eve,
- 00:18:54.623 --> 00:18:57.459
- What happened to them?
- 00:18:57.459 --> 00:18:59.461
- Because they had the freedom of choice.
- 00:18:59.461 --> 00:19:01.797
- They made a decision that affected them
- 00:19:01.797 --> 00:19:05.500
- And affect all of humanity.
- 00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:08.837
- So we have to realize
- 00:19:09.338 --> 00:19:10.806
- There's a way to parent,
- 00:19:10.806 --> 00:19:13.675
- If not the way of cain.
- 00:19:13.675 --> 00:19:15.244
- Read the old testament, look what happened.
- 00:19:15.244 --> 00:19:16.878
- All this is ended,
- 00:19:16.878 --> 00:19:19.781
- Killed his brother.
- 00:19:19.781 --> 00:19:21.283
- Look at the other child, says, look at all
- 00:19:21.283 --> 00:19:23.685
- This, this and this.
- 00:19:23.685 --> 00:19:24.553
- They followed in god's way.
- 00:19:24.553 --> 00:19:26.555
- Cain followed in his way.
- 00:19:26.555 --> 00:19:28.390
- Look at what happened and the results.
- 00:19:28.390 --> 00:19:31.960
- Then take somebody, phi beta kappa to figure that out.
- 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.297
- So what is god's method of parenting?
- 00:19:35.297 --> 00:19:39.668
- I'll be quick.
- 00:19:40.002 --> 00:19:40.902
- Number one, the goal is
- 00:19:40.902 --> 00:19:44.573
- To let them imitate
- 00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:46.575
- Jesus, to be like jesus.
- 00:19:46.575 --> 00:19:49.311
- Well, that is so high up there.
- 00:19:49.311 --> 00:19:51.413
- It is.
- 00:19:51.413 --> 00:19:52.848
- Romans 828.
- 00:19:53.181 --> 00:19:55.050
- All things work together for good to those
- 00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:57.419
- Who love the lord.
- 00:19:57.419 --> 00:19:58.487
- Those who are the called according to his prayer.
- 00:19:58.487 --> 00:20:00.756
- Doesn't that sound great? i love that verse.
- 00:20:00.756 --> 00:20:02.858
- Whatever is happening,
- 00:20:02.858 --> 00:20:04.159
- All things are going to
- 00:20:04.159 --> 00:20:05.260
- Work out for god's glory and for god's good.
- 00:20:05.260 --> 00:20:07.996
- I love that verse that romans 828,
- 00:20:07.996 --> 00:20:11.099
- But romans 829 said,
- 00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:14.703
- Your children are to conform.
- 00:20:15.337 --> 00:20:19.975
- To the lord jesus christ.
- 00:20:20.542 --> 00:20:23.445
- Oh, for all things work together for good,
- 00:20:23.445 --> 00:20:27.049
- And then your children are to conform.
- 00:20:27.049 --> 00:20:29.051
- In other words, they are to follow jesus christ
- 00:20:29.051 --> 00:20:33.455
- And we are to build in their lives
- 00:20:33.455 --> 00:20:36.591
- Godly principles, morals and manners,
- 00:20:36.591 --> 00:20:39.795
- A love and a respect and a reverence for god.
- 00:20:40.729 --> 00:20:44.099
- Deuteronomy six. tashima.
- 00:20:44.099 --> 00:20:47.035
- That's what a jewish father did every day with
- 00:20:47.035 --> 00:20:49.538
- Their children, every night with their children.
- 00:20:49.538 --> 00:20:51.206
- What does it say?
- 00:20:51.206 --> 00:20:52.774
- He said, hear ye, o israel.
- 00:20:52.774 --> 00:20:54.810
- There is one lord, one god.
- 00:20:54.810 --> 00:20:57.212
- And you are to build these
- 00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:59.715
- Godly principles in their life when they go to bed.
- 00:20:59.715 --> 00:21:03.085
- Remember, when they get up in the morning,
- 00:21:03.085 --> 00:21:06.088
- When they eat their meals, when they go out the door?
- 00:21:06.088 --> 00:21:09.758
- Well, that sounds awful hard.
- 00:21:09.758 --> 00:21:11.860
- And super powers.
- 00:21:11.860 --> 00:21:13.061
- No, it's just the atmosphere of a christian home.
- 00:21:13.061 --> 00:21:16.898
- I came up on the christian home because of my mom.
- 00:21:17.899 --> 00:21:21.136
- My mother saw to it
- 00:21:21.603 --> 00:21:23.372
- That we prayed when we ate, sat down at eat a meal.
- 00:21:23.372 --> 00:21:26.975
- We had a blessing, three meals.
- 00:21:26.975 --> 00:21:28.677
- We prayed every night we went to bed.
- 00:21:28.677 --> 00:21:31.380
- Didn't matter when i came in.
- 00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:32.714
- My mom be there with the bible.
- 00:21:32.714 --> 00:21:35.183
- You missed with the bible.
- 00:21:35.183 --> 00:21:38.820
- And she would read it and i would read it.
- 00:21:39.721 --> 00:21:41.690
- And we would pray for missionaries and for people.
- 00:21:41.690 --> 00:21:44.493
- I did that every night of my life.
- 00:21:44.493 --> 00:21:47.129
- When i was old,
- 00:21:47.129 --> 00:21:48.430
- When i was born, all the way until the last night
- 00:21:48.430 --> 00:21:52.167
- I spent with my mom before she went to heaven.
- 00:21:52.167 --> 00:21:54.669
- We did that in our home and i would come in every day.
- 00:21:54.669 --> 00:21:59.141
- I never rode to school in my life.
- 00:21:59.875 --> 00:22:01.643
- I walked in from the first grade
- 00:22:01.643 --> 00:22:03.612
- All the way through high school.
- 00:22:03.612 --> 00:22:04.846
- We walked there up and coming when i would come home,
- 00:22:04.846 --> 00:22:07.716
- I'd hear my mother
- 00:22:07.716 --> 00:22:08.950
- Singing thousands of times the same chorus.
- 00:22:08.950 --> 00:22:12.921
- In the morning i see his face.
- 00:22:12.921 --> 00:22:15.257
- In the evening, his form i traced in the darkness
- 00:22:15.257 --> 00:22:18.994
- His voice i know i see jesus everywhere i go.
- 00:22:18.994 --> 00:22:22.664
- He didn't just pour it into us.
- 00:22:22.664 --> 00:22:24.599
- It was the atmosphere of our home,
- 00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:29.104
- The atmosphere.
- 00:22:29.471 --> 00:22:30.272
- It wasn't a super pies kind of thing.
- 00:22:30.272 --> 00:22:33.208
- It was the atmosphere.
- 00:22:33.208 --> 00:22:35.343
- Therefore, we're teaching our children
- 00:22:35.343 --> 00:22:38.480
- To follow jesus, to let him be their example.
- 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.250
- That's the first goal.
- 00:22:42.250 --> 00:22:43.852
- At the second goal is
- 00:22:43.852 --> 00:22:46.855
- Is for the parent, particularly the father,
- 00:22:46.855 --> 00:22:49.691
- To be a serious follower of jesus.
- 00:22:49.691 --> 00:22:52.961
- Some of you, dad would say, boy,
- 00:22:53.662 --> 00:22:54.963
- I'd do anything for my children that i could.
- 00:22:54.963 --> 00:22:57.732
- The best thing you can do is to be a genuine man of god.
- 00:22:57.732 --> 00:23:02.404
- That's the best thing you could do for your job.
- 00:23:02.404 --> 00:23:04.773
- Nothing else.
- 00:23:04.773 --> 00:23:07.642
- All these kinds of parenting.
- 00:23:08.276 --> 00:23:10.345
- Helicopter. precisely. parenting.
- 00:23:10.345 --> 00:23:12.781
- You want to keep your child from having
- 00:23:12.781 --> 00:23:14.483
- Any pain or challenges or any shortcomings or fail.
- 00:23:14.483 --> 00:23:18.186
- No, no no no.
- 00:23:18.186 --> 00:23:19.387
- That's a part of 3 to 13 growing up.
- 00:23:19.387 --> 00:23:22.524
- So they'll
- 00:23:22.524 --> 00:23:23.758
- Be able to be a man or woman when they get in their teens,
- 00:23:23.758 --> 00:23:26.862
- And they'll make right choices themselves.
- 00:23:26.862 --> 00:23:30.265
- That's our goal.
- 00:23:30.665 --> 00:23:35.804
- Nothing.
- 00:23:36.071 --> 00:23:36.505
- We need more.
- 00:23:36.505 --> 00:23:39.508
- Than for a mom and dad.
- 00:23:39.508 --> 00:23:43.812
- To say
- 00:23:44.012 --> 00:23:44.946
- What paul said in first corinthians, he said,
- 00:23:44.946 --> 00:23:48.283
- Oh, you children, you're my children.
- 00:23:49.084 --> 00:23:51.019
- He said, i want you to imitate me.
- 00:23:51.019 --> 00:23:53.788
- Can you say that day?
- 00:23:53.788 --> 00:23:56.558
- Can you say that?
- 00:23:56.558 --> 00:23:59.528
- Children do what we require them to do
- 00:23:59.528 --> 00:24:01.429
- Until they're about 14.
- 00:24:01.429 --> 00:24:02.831
- Then they begin to do and live like we live.
- 00:24:02.831 --> 00:24:06.334
- I'll do anything for my kids.
- 00:24:06.968 --> 00:24:09.504
- Be a godly man.
- 00:24:09.504 --> 00:24:10.672
- Be a godly woman. love your wife.
- 00:24:10.672 --> 00:24:14.109
- Love your husband.
- 00:24:14.109 --> 00:24:15.076
- The highest priority.
- 00:24:15.076 --> 00:24:22.317
- So much to say.
- 00:24:22.684 --> 00:24:24.920
- We've only just begun.
- 00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:28.290
- We've laid down the principles you got gotta
- 00:24:28.290 --> 00:24:31.293
- Foundation is being destroyed.
- 00:24:31.293 --> 00:24:33.662
- We see the role of parents, strategic role of parents
- 00:24:33.662 --> 00:24:37.766
- As to how to parent, how to bring up a child
- 00:24:37.766 --> 00:24:40.769
- God's way.
- 00:24:40.769 --> 00:24:43.405
- First two years.
- 00:24:43.405 --> 00:24:44.339
- Remember your servant to the child.
- 00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:47.542
- Next ten years, 13 to 13.
- 00:24:48.109 --> 00:24:50.412
- You are a leader.
- 00:24:50.412 --> 00:24:51.379
- You become the authority figure of your child
- 00:24:51.379 --> 00:24:53.982
- Without a lot of explanation.
- 00:24:53.982 --> 00:24:55.417
- You don't do that.
- 00:24:55.417 --> 00:24:56.818
- Then 13 up you see your child begin to grow and develop
- 00:24:56.818 --> 00:25:00.422
- And make choices on their own, by and large.
- 00:25:00.422 --> 00:25:03.525
- But you're still sitting there on the stump
- 00:25:03.525 --> 00:25:07.295
- When they go through it all.
- 00:25:07.896 --> 00:25:09.230
- You get that.
- 00:25:09.230 --> 00:25:12.267
- Train up a child in the way.
- 00:25:12.267 --> 00:25:15.070
- Not many ways god's way they should go.
- 00:25:15.070 --> 00:25:17.973
- And when they're old,
- 00:25:17.973 --> 00:25:19.107
- When they're older, when they mature, the g.p.s.
- 00:25:19.107 --> 00:25:23.111
- System will be built in their heart in their life,
- 00:25:23.111 --> 00:25:25.914
- And they'll make the right
- 00:25:25.914 --> 00:25:28.483
- Choices.
- 00:25:28.483 --> 00:25:31.252
- Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect.
- 00:25:32.187 --> 00:25:35.590
- There are moments filled with uncertainty.
- 00:25:35.590 --> 00:25:38.593
- Challenges that test our strength.
- 00:25:38.593 --> 00:25:40.862
- And days
- 00:25:40.862 --> 00:25:42.063
- When encouragement feels hard to find in those moments.
- 00:25:42.063 --> 00:25:45.467
- What if you had something solid to stand on?
- 00:25:45.467 --> 00:25:48.737

- The simple act of

- Holding hands can lower blood pressure, reduce stress,
- 00:26:39.821 --> 00:26:43.658
- Create feelings of connection and closeness.
- 00:26:43.658 --> 00:26:47.128
- Not in a secular way.
- 00:26:47.629 --> 00:26:49.664
- But there's another area that all of this works in the
- 00:26:49.664 --> 00:26:52.400
- Same way.
- 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:53.501
- And i pray as we grab hold of our father's hand.
- 00:26:53.501 --> 00:26:57.072
- Abba, father, our hearts will strengthen.
- 00:26:57.072 --> 00:27:00.108
- Stress will fade
- 00:27:00.508 --> 00:27:02.477

- How to love and how to walk with christ.
- 00:27:17.292 --> 00:27:17.292
