A LITTLE Prayer HOMEWORK:
· - Take time to discuss your family’s favorite verses in the Bible. Decide on a “theme” verse for your family. Have someone copy it or type it on a piece of paper. Place the verse in several locations through out the house to remind you of your family’s commitment to God. Joshua 24:14-15
· TALK ABOUT Children are to obey their parents, and parents are to treat their children in such a way that the children will want to obey.
, _________________________, commit myself to passing along God’s priorities for my children. I agree that this will be no lip-service commitment, but will give my all in seeing that my children come to know Christ as their personal Savior, that they love and obey Him, that they learn His values from my life, and that they understand Jesus has first place in my life. I will make every effort to please Jesus first by giving myself to Him in salvation and service and in Christian growth and maturity. I understand that I am not alone in this endeavor because the Lord is my Helper and Comforter, and He has given me a church who will pray for me and aid me in times of need.
