shepherding book quote 14

I know it's been a while... =) From Shepherding a Child's Heart, by Tedd Tripp...

This is a quote about what the training objective should be for children from infancy to age 4 or 5.

The most important lesson for the child to learn in this period is that HE IS AN INDIVIDUAL UNDER AUTHORITY. He has been made by God and has a responsibility to obey God in all things.

The key passage of Scripture for this period is:

Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother,' which is the first commandment with a promise: 'that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth' (Eph. 6:1-3) (p. 133).


Thanks for the little nudge, Kelly!
