Josh and Jodi Emory - Why Our Kids will Serve God


Luke 18:16 We have such a huge responsibility in raising our kids and a huge part of that is training and discipline.
1. Training and Discipline
If our kids can't obey us they won't be able to obey God.
Children learn not to pick up wasps by picking up wasps. Parents are examples for children so the kids don't have to fail every time they do something.
Eph. 6:1
2 Memorizing scripture
If we're praying and reading our Bible it will influence our kids
Psalm 119:11
3 Serving others
It's easy to forget to serve your family.
4. Tithes and Offerings
They may not be able to tithe for a while but they will see if we do it.
Mat. 25:34-40
5. Talents
God has given them talents for specific reasons. They're from God and it's important to teach kids not to boast about their talents.
Involve your children and let them use their talents.
6. Family Devotions and Church
Our children should see that Christ comes first.
Hebrews 10:25
7. What They Watch
A lot of movies and such don't teach us about Christ.
*Kids are our responsibility. We need to get personal and not be afraid to teach them Godly principles.


Q. What's something to really avoid when raising kids?
A. If you're not consistant with discipline it will just be a hassel. So whatever you do just be consistent.

Q. What are some things you do to discipline.
A. One thing I do in training is set the bowl of baby food on their tray and don't let them bump it off.
