The Adam and Eve Principle
No matter how good a parent you are, your child is still capable on any given day of doing something despicable, disgusting, or depraved.
-Unknown
“If our kids never hurt; if they never sin but are only ‘sick’; if they never ‘fail’ but just get ‘cheated’ by an unfair coach, teacher, principal, and so on-they will never sense their need for a Savior. They will always take Adam’s lame approach, blaming someone else for their own spiritual failing.”

TAKE IT HOME:
Discuss this as a family this week:
1. How do you define "Honor?"
2. Children, what honor are you giving your parents? Do you present to them the respect they deserve? Is there weight behind the value you feel for them?
3. Parents, how are you reflecting honor to your children? Can they imitate Christ from your words, actions and deeds?
4. If you are struggling to display honor, love, respect to a parent because of past experiences in your life. Please seek Biblical Counseling to help you heal from the trauma of the past and move closer to Christ.
