INTRODUCTION
Home Grown Resolutions
Parenting By Grace

2. What makes Christian Parenting
DISTINCTLY Christian?

3. [4] Fathers, do not provoke your
children to anger, but bring them
up in the discipline and
instruction of the Lord.
(Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV)

4. [20] Children, obey your parents in
everything, for this pleases the
Lord. [21] Fathers, do not provoke
your children, lest they become
discouraged. (Colossians 3:20-21 ESV)

5. Both verses touch on what issue?
Anger = Danger
There is enough inherent anger in
the parent / child relationship,
so don’t add to it needlessly.

6. - The Key Relationship in the
Family is that of Husband and
Wife.
- The Raising of Children Requires
the Involvement of Both Parents

7. As parents we must be intentional
about parenting!!
MODEL biblical thinking and
priorities to your kids
MODEL the importance of God’s
Word and God’s people

8. FIRST MYTH: Quality time is more
important than Quantity TIME
SECOND MYTH : Anger = Action

9. GRACE DOES NOT FORBID
giving directions, promises,
corrections, and warnings
What does “of the Lord” parenting
look like? Elyse Fitzpatrick

10. -How does the incarnation change
the way you speak to your
children?
-What about the resurrection?
-Have you helped them understand
the ascension and the intercession
of Jesus and his return?

11. “OF THE LORD” CATEGORIES
MANAGEMENT
NURTURING
TRAINING
CORRECTION
PROMISES

12. MNTCP =
“moms need to constantly pray”
or
“men need to constantly pray”

13. DISCERNMENT QUESTIONS:
Does this simply call for
management?
Now that the situation has
calmed down, do I have an
opportunity to nurture his soul
with the gospel?

14. Is this the time to train her in how to
apply what Jesus has already done for
her?
Do I need to correct her attitudes or
actions so that they are more in line
with the good news? Gal 2:14ff
Should I remind him of God’s
promises, either of blessing for faith
or of punishment for unbelief?

15. Finally is this just a time to pray
and ask God how the gospel
applies to my own heart?
As we train our children we must
be able to recognize the
distinction between childish
irresponsibility and direct
disobedience.

16. Remember that we need the same
thing our kids need – a Savior and
the message of good news that
Jesus has accomplished for us
what we can’t do on our own.
