The Bow & Arrow

Pastor Ed @ CBC
🏹The Bow & Arrow
Ephesians 6:1-4
Notice Four Principles that set the trajectory in Parenting: 
1. The Mandate for Obedience: (Eph. 6:1-2)
A) Action-"Obey" (1)
B) Attitude-"Honor" (2)
• Delayed obedience is disobedience.
• Attitude is everything.
2. The Means of Outpouring (Eph. 6:3)
A) Perspective-"go well with you..."
B) Possession- "live long in the land"
• Obedience = Blessing
• If you can't live up to physical visible responsibility, then gow can you live up to the spiritual invisible responsibility of God?
3. The Metric in Oversight (Eph. 6:4a)
Provoke: Irritate, agitate, aggrivate
• Provocation fosters prolonged adolescence.
4. The Missional Opportunity (Eph. 6:4b)
A) Duty (physical/Emotional):  "bring them up"-To nourish them to maturity. 
B) Discipline (Emotional/Social)-To train in accordance of conduct and behavior
C) Direction (Spiritual)- "to impart understanding, to have a corrective influence on someone"
• Rules Without Relationship = Rebellion
• Be the first person to admit the mistake.
Psalm 127:3-4: Like the Arrows in the hand of a Warrior are the children of one's youth, blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
The Tool of Discipline:
B:  Be Consistent
O:  Own your Mistakes
W: Words of Affirmation
🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹
The Training of Discipleship
A: Acceptance comes from God
R: Reject Apathy (model godliness)
R: Resist Temptation
O: Obedient to the Word
W: Worship is Life
The Target of Direction:
The TARGET is TO the World, not FROM the World.
It's not your job to make Godly children but it is the parent's job to make sure their children have Godly parents.
