Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart These and many more should be the value system of you home Parents read your Proverbs!

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart You want to control the flow of events so that it is never chaotic but well structured and controlled

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart “Hurry hurry ” should be the exception not the rule.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Beyond shaping influences lies the hearts response to shaping influences. Also the uncontrolled shaping influences and their response the them.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart The visible outward response is called “behavior”. Behavior is derived from the inward “heart” response.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Sinful (bad)behavior stems from a sinful heart. Children do not self analyze, they must be instructed in the way of righteous.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart The Way Of Righteousness Outward conformity to God’s commandments by an inward acceptance of God’s love and authority.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart He/she responses in love of God and neighbor or love of self

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Many will excuse children’s rebellion (misbehavior)as immaturity

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Selfishness is not outgrown! Rebellion to authority is not outgrown!

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart These are not actions of immaturity but Idolatry.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Ezekiel 14:3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart , and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Illustration; Albert, an eight year old boy steals money out of his mom’s purse to buy extra “lunch” at school. What is the proper parental response?

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Punishment. Albert is guilty of stealing and must be punished accordingly. It was his choice to do wrong. We are accountable for our decisions.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Understanding. What lead to his sinful actions?

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Question Albert why did you steal the money?

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart I wanted ice cream and a soda with my food, all the other kids get them.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Name some issues that need addressed in Albert’s Heart.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Stealing Covetousness Idolatry Trust in God Unbelief

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour , working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth .

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Stealing is a refusal to work and a lack of willingness to give. It is a breaking of the second greatest commandment. Love you neighbor as yourself

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Covetousness is the lack of contentment. This lust can never be satisfied. Trying to will lead to an unhappy, unfulfilled life.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Idolatry is any desire that you allow to pull you from the worship of God and love of the commandments of God

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members ……and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Failure to trust in Gods provision for you will lead you into temptation.

Slide 65:

Deuteronomy 8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

Slide 66:

Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Unbelief is found in the heart when a child does not ask God for their desires.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Unbelief steals contentment , joy and victory from the Christian life.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Hebrews 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart There are many things that must be dealt with that we may help our children understand their owe sinful nature.

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart:

Shepherding Your Child’s Heart In attempting to do so God will reveal to us of our own sinful nature. Our kids got it from someone!
