Back To School

DAY 3 OF 5

Wise families accept the challenge to live morally pure lives.

If someone dumped a pile of smelly, dirty trash in your living room, you’d probably be incensed! Yet how many families allow the garbage of our culture into our homes every single day?

The average home is filled with numerous TVs, smart phones tablets, computers, and gaming systems. These technologies are great, but that’s a lot of the world getting into our family’s heads. And that’s a lot of the impurity and depravity of this world getting into our homes.

First Peter 5:8 says, “Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” This includes your kids and mine. So we must fight the good fight of faith, and that includes displeasing our kids at times in order to protect their purity.

The way we do this is by providing reasonable rules and boundaries regarding media consumption, computer use, dress, and your kids’ friends. The best parental control isn’t a rating system it is you, parents! We are called to protect our children’s purity. Lead a morally pure life, for your own sake and certainly for the sake of your children. The stakes couldn’t be any higher.

About this Plan

Back To School

With school approaching, teaching our children to respect and revere authority is vital—and you must start by teaching them to respect and revere God’s authority in their lives. In this 5-day plan, pray with Pastor Jack Graham from Prestonwood Baptist Church (http://www.jackgraham.org/) for our children to have a respect for authority; to stay morally pure; to find and keep good godly friends; and to not bully but care for one another.
