Correct Them
September 17, 2012
Therapist and mother Lori Gottlieb says that parents who are obsessed with their childrens happiness may actually contribute to their becoming unhappy adults. These parents coddle their children, do not equip them to deal with the real world, look the other way when their children do wrong, and neglect disciplining them.
In 1 Samuel, we read that the high priest Eli sometimes looked the other way. We dont know what he was like as a father when his boys were young. But he failed to properly deal with their behavior as grown men serving in Gods temple. They were selfish, lustful, and rebellious, putting their own needs ahead of Gods Word and the needs of the people. At first, Eli rebuked them but they would not listen. Instead of removing them from service, he looked the other way and let them continue in their sin. As a result of his sons sins and because Eli honored his sons above the Lord (1 Sam. 2:29), the Lord warned Eli that his family would suffer judgment (v.34; 4:17-18).
As Christian parents, we have the awesome responsibility to lovingly discipline our children (Prov. 13:24; 29:17; Heb. 12:9-11). As we impart Gods wisdom to them, we have the blessing of helping them develop into responsible, God-fearing adults.
They are buds of hope and promise,
Possessed by Him whose name is Love;
Lent us here to train and nourish
For a better life above. Crosby
Failure to discipline our children is a failure to love them.
Read: 1 Samuel 2:12,27-36

And take a fresh delight
By day to read these wonders oer
And meditate by night. Watts
Whether morning, noon, or night, make Gods Word your delight.”

To: The Mayor
Unfortunately many parents spoil their children by making them to be insulated from the consequences of their actions. Life can be tough and it is in the interest of children to teach them how God says to live in this world. There is no superior teaching to God's word.
The world today is attempting to turn their back to God. How pitiable.

GOOD MILITARY MONDAY TO AMYS PLACE!

The Soldiers Code
1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.
3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.
5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.
6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

The Lure Of A Message
September 18, 2012
Youre sitting in a darkened theater enjoying a concert, a play, or a film, when suddenly a smartphone screen lights up as a person reads an incoming text and perhaps takes time to reply. In his book The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, Nicholas Carr says that in our connected world, The sense that there might be a message out there for us is increasingly difficult to resist.
Samuel was a young boy when he heard a voice call his name and thought it was Eli the priest in the tabernacle where he served the Lord (1 Sam. 3:1-7). When Eli realized that God was calling Samuel, he told the boy how to respond. When God called his name a fourth time, Samuel answered, Speak, for Your servant hears (v.10). This attentiveness to Gods voice became the pattern of Samuels life as the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord (v.21).
Are we listening for Gods voice in our lives today? Are we more drawn by the vibration of a smartphone than the still, small voice of the Lord through His Word and His Spirit?
May we, like Samuel, learn to discern Gods voice and say, Speak, Lord. Im listening.
May we listen, Lord, to You
As You speak to us today
Through Your Spirit and Your Word
Help us follow and obey. Sper
Dont let the noise of the world keep you from hearing the voice of the Lord.
Read: 1 Samuel 3:1-10
