A Solid Foundation, Children

How to raise a Child God's Way.


Ever wonder why we have such a Moral Decline in this Country, and why this Moral Decline has seemingly sped up to Warp Speed? Ever wonder why Sin is being called good, and good Sin? Ever wonder why things that would have just simply been accepted as wrong, is now either grey, or outright OK? What has happened to our Schools were chewing gum and talking used to be the things of conferences, to where now Rape and Murder is the trend?

The answer is simple. It is the crumbling foundation that used to be taught at home. He who controls the youth, controls the future. It really is that simple. It all starts at home. It all starts with the Parents. It all starts with the success or the failure of the Parents in laying a solid foundation for their kids.

If your kids are taught at home, 2+2=4. They go to school, and someone tells them 2+2=5, they will understand that this is simply not true. They will understand that when someone tells them something that is not true, they need to question it. Reason it. Think about it. Ultimately, they will reject it.

For generations now, the enemy has been working on the Family. He has separated the Mother and Father. He has replaced God's plan for Family, with Government, and worldly things. He has "empowered" Women to "Not need a Man." He has turned Government into Daddy. Mother has more children, Government pays her more money. He has turned our Schools that used to teach Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, into indoctrination factories to rid kids minds of God, and to instill into them, the acceptance of unholy and unnatural things. He is teaching them to be all inclusive and acceptance of all things and people, no matter what.

The problem comes, when they go to these places, make friends, and they start seeing things as the norm, without any Foundation laid by their Parents, they simply accept it as truth and fact. They grow, have kids, their kids learn the same. Generations later, what is, is truth and right, even if it is false and wrong. They eventually know no better.

The Enemy knows this. Why do you think people call people like me, old fashion, outdated, or just a kook? They do so because they have accepted the lie, and know nothing about the truth. God is not old fashioned, outdated, or a kook. He is not made up. He is not a concept or ideal. He IS God. He IS the same yesterday, today, and evermore. His Word is not open for interpretation or modification. He doesn't change with the times. Sin that was, IS, and will even kill you quicker at that.

How do you protect your kids? How do you bring God back to America again? Lay for them a solid foundation. First, you must teach them the Truth, there IS a God.

Genesis 1:
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
You must teach them that this is an absolute. That even though some like to say "there is no God," Science and Mathematics DISPROVE that evolution could have taken place without Him. Something from something is something, but nothing from or added to nothing is still nothing. So there had to be, and there is, a something, and His name is God. Then, God said...

Deuteronomy 6:
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
What Words?

Exodus 20:
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.
Or as Jesus said?

Matthew 22:
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
You have to teach your Children that there is a God, that through the Adoption of the Holy Spirit, God becomes their Father, and that HE will be with them always. You have to teach them that God's Word on all things is Final and Absolute. No matter what man may have to say about it.

Then as they grow, you need to use the Word of God to answer their questions as often as you can. Why? Because when they grow, they will then fully understand that if something arises in their life, and they have a question about it, they can go to The Word themselves to seek the answers.

"Why did little Johnny break my new toy?" You can take him to The Word, and teach him that Little Johnny may have done this because of covetousness, and use this as a teachable moment on what jealousy can lead to. "Grandma just died. What happens after?" Jesus. You get the point.

If you start early, feeding your Children on The Word of God, it will become part of who they are. They will be ready for the things they may face. It will be as normal for them, as it is for little Johnny to accept the lie. For they will have the Truth to rely on.

Proverbs 22:
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Generation after generation, the enemy has chipped away at the foundation. He has chipped away at the Family. The Truth. Freedom. And has replaced it all with lies. First it becomes acceptable to doubt the Truth. Then it becomes acceptable to question the Truth. Then it becomes acceptable to consider the opposite. Then in time, the Lie becomes the truth.

It's like this. Homosexuality is Sin and Wrong. No one even questioned this. Then in time, Why? Well my Parents say that it's against God and Nature. But I see your argument Maybe we do not need to tell people it's Sin, but that we just don't accept this. Then, Yeah, my parents don't accept it, but, I don't know, a loving relationship? What's so wrong about that. Then, if you understand it's a loving relationship, then what's wrong with them Marrying? To now, where the Supreme Court of the United States, may very well rule this Sin into Law. Making it acceptable and legally protected. Justifying it.

Abortion? Same thing. Started out as soon as the Mother found to be with child. All the way up to now, some arguing that AFTER BIRTH Abortion could indeed be justified. I kid you not..
"When circumstances occur after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible. … We propose to call this practice ‘after-birth abortion’, rather than ‘infanticide,’ to emphasize that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus … rather than to that of a child. Therefore, we claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the circumstances where abortion would be. Such circumstances include cases where the newborn has the potential to have an (at least) acceptable life, but the well-being of the family is at risk."
That is a quote from Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva. In the Journal of Medical Ethics. Chipping away, chipping away. Allowing Sin to evolve to the ultimate conclusion. When there is no longer a foundation. No longer any Truth being taught, the lie will not only be believed, but accepted as well.

Children are a Gift. The most precious gift you could ever receive.

Psalm 127:
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
You must teach them. Instruct them. Lay the Foundation for them. Another thing that is a tool of the enemy is correction of a child. Teachers cannot use red ink. There is no winner in sports. Everyone gets a trophy. Parents, you better understand that your Child is a person and has rights. They have a right to say no to you. You have to consider their feelings. You have to allow them to make mistakes on their own that they may learn from them. You have better NEVER Spank them. That creates emotional scars and you can be arrested.

Proverbs 13:
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 23:
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
If God chastens us, corrects us, and He does,,,,

Hebrews 12:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Then why would He NOT want us to chasen or correct our children? My boy runs out in the road without looking. I explain the danger to doing this. He does it again, I give him a smack on the bottom. He remembers better next time. If I do nothing, and I let him learn for himself, the next time he may not make it back. There may indeed be a car coming.

If you love your Children, you MUST correct them. Forget all this psychobabble, and feel good garbage. It is a lie straight from Satan himself. God says if you love your child you will correct your child. God does not say beat them for no reason. God is not telling you to be abusive. When talking about the Family, LOVE is the most important aspect.

Colossians 3:
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
"Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged." God's plan for family is simply love.

1 Corinthians 13:
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Love will never lead to abuse. Love will never lead to mistreatment. The greatest gift we can receive or give, is Love. Spankings and corrections out of Love, is not abuse, nor can it ever lead to abuse. You want to lead a happy Family life? Set a solid foundation in yourself. A solid foundation in your Marriage. A solid foundation for your Children. It all starts with God. His Truth. His way.

Do you know Jesus as your Savior? Have you been adopted into the Family of God? If not, say this Prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be. Say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us Pray..

"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Jesus's sacrifice for me. I repent my sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Jesus, Amen!"

That's it. It really is that simple. Now go tell someone what you have just done. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." {Romans 10:9} You need to find a Church that God leads you to, and be Baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A new Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." {Colossians 3:10}
