Hey #JustWrite!! We have MAYed it to another month and another blog!! In the month of May, we not only celebrate Mother's Day, but we also celebrate the end of year educational accomplishments of our children (biological and non-biological). Sometimes parents gauge their parenting skills from how many achievements their children have mastered. But what about what God's Word says about parenting? By the title of this blog, you can probably guess what the topic will be. Yes, we are discussing parenting as it relates to God's principles. This month's book club read is "Raising Kingdom Kids" by acclaimed author and pastor, Dr. Tony Evans. Parenting looks different to different people but Dr. Evans discusses how parents can help shape their children into growing adults who will be well-equipped for their purpose and Kingdom work. At the time of our birth, the Lord knew that we would look and speak in the manner we speak. The Lord also knew what our purpose was and how we would embody His principles to fulfill Kingdom assignments. It is very important that parents understand that in order to teach their children Kingdom principles, they must first live by those principles. Children learn by what they see so it's imperative that parents are well-equipped mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Many of us can attest that we picked up habits and patterns because we unknowingly processed what we witnessed from our parents and other influences in our lives. It is very important that parents understand from the time of their child or children's birth the gifts and talents they will possess through spiritual lenses. We must guide the future generations through prayer, understanding, and God's will. Join us on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at 6pm as Host and Elder, Dr. Lynette Dandridge leads the conversation and breaks down the concepts and principles of Dr. Evans teachings. Parents, educators, or anyone who is currently impacting the lives of children for the Kingdom, please bring your insights and questions.
In His service,
