Children and Parenting
Compiled by Bryan Gibson

Been searching for wisdom? (Proverbs 2:1-5). Take a few minutes to listen to God, “who alone is wise” (1 Timothy 6:17).  All the passages below come from one of His books of wisdom, the Book of Proverbs.  Read them slowly and carefully and soak up all the wisdom.

“My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother; for they will be a graceful ornament on your head, and chains about your neck” (1:8-9).

“My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor detest His correction; for whom the LORD loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights” (3:11-12).

“A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the grief of his mother” (10:1).

“He who gathers in summer is a wise son; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame” (10:5).

“A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke” (13:1).

“He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly” (13:24).

“A fool despises his father's instruction, but he who receives correction is prudent” (15:5).

“A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother” (15:20).

“A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame, and will share an inheritance among the brothers” (17:2).

“Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their father” (17:6).

“He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy” (17:21).

“A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him” (17:25).

“A foolish son is the ruin of his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping” (19:13).

“Chasten your son while there is hope, and do not set your heart on his destruction” (19:18).

“He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach” (19:26).

“Cease listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge” (19:27).

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him” (20:7).

“Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right” (20:11).

“Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in deep darkness” (20:20).

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (22:6).

“Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of correction will drive it far from him” (22:15).

“Do not withhold correction from a child, for if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. You shall beat him with a rod, and deliver his soul from hell” (23:13-14).

“My son, if your heart is wise, my heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself; yes, my inmost being will   rejoice when your lips speak right things” (23:15-16).

“Hear, my son, and be wise; and guide your heart in the way” (23:19).

“Listen to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when she is old” (23:22).

“The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise child will delight in him. Let your father and your mother be glad, and let her who bore you rejoice. My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways” (23:24-26).

“Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons shames his father” (28:7).

“Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, ‘It is no transgression,’ the same is companion to a destroyer” (28:24).

“Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, but a companion of harlots wastes his wealth” (29:3).

“The rod and rebuke give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother” (29:15).

“Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your soul” (29:17).

“There is a generation that curses its father, and does not bless its mother” (30:11).

“The eye that mocks his father, and scorns obedience to his mother, the ravens of the valley will pick it out, and the young eagles will eat it” (30:17).

“She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all’” (31:27-29).
 

Nothing is more important than the conditions of salvation given by Jesus?
