And she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26 My son, give me thine heart,
And let thine eyes observe my ways.

2. A correct view of God runs contrary to the beliefs of our culture
· Our culture denies His authority
- We cannot compare ourselves to other people
- We must compare ourselves to God’s Word
God is our ultimate authority.
He made us, and we are His
· Parents have authority not because they are stronger or smarter, but because God has given them authority.
God is stronger, and smarter and His plan is to give us parents who are sinners as our authority.
(; )
· Who is in charge?
· All human authority comes from God. Human leaders may fight their way to the top, but God is the ultimate authority.
He is sovereign over human authority.
· Example of Israel in captivity
The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever he will.
· Example of Israel in captivity
· Example of Israel in captivity

The battle for top dog has already begun.
· Your attitude is your choice, you cannot control the behavior of other people, but you can always control your own attitude.
- You don’t understand!
- When you have a bad attitude to your parents, that is disrespect, and the Bible calls that sin.
- Define sin
Lust-Sin-Death
sin comes from out of our heart
Many TV shows and movies turn disrespect into humor.

However, a bad decision does not give children the excuse to be disrespectful.

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the forward
· Don’t manipulate your parents
· Don’t analyze your parents’ decisions to decide which ones are reasonable and which ones are not
· Don’t interrupt your authorities.
Listen to what they say and then request to share your ideas.
This is true both now at home, with your teachers, and with a job in the future.
· Making a proper appeal
· Bottom line: Respect is an issue of the heart that comes down to fearing God.
