*Thomas** S. Myers*
*The 5th Commandment*
*7** Ways to Honor Your Parents*
*Exodus 20:12*
The 5th commandment is a pivotal commandment.
It is a turning point commandment, because the first 4 commandments deal with our relationship with God.
The last 6 commandments deal with our relationship with each other.
You see, you can not be right with others, until you are right with God.
We have to get the vertical right before we can get the horizontal right.
So the 10 commandments starts with our relationship with God.
Then it moves into our relationship with mankind.
However, if you want to be right with others, you must start with your relationship with your father and mother.
Because, if you can not respecting your father and mother, you will have a difficult time respecting a stranger.
We can not be right with society, until we are right in our homes.
When the home decays, the church decays.
When the church decays, society decays.
When society decays, the nation decays.
When your religion doesn't begin at home, it just doesn't begin.
Look at Exodus 20:12 and notice the word *"Honor."**
*
* *
*Exodus 20:12** *
*12** **"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
(NIV)*
Do you know what the word 'Honor' means?
The Hebrew word means to attach value and significance to.
Originally the word honor was used for the weight of money.
The heavier the money the more value it had.
For example the heavier a bar of gold is the more value it has.
Here is the point.
We are to attach a lot of value to our parents.
We are to esteem them and respect them.
Don't be like a former neighbor we had.
He was 6 years old and playing in our back yard.
His mother was calling out to him, "Billy, come home!?
She called him 3 times.
Our daughter said to him, "Your mom is calling you.
You need to go home."
Billy said, "No I don't.
She called me only 3 times."
To "honor" your father and mother means to attach significance to what they say and who they are.
*7** Ways to Honor Your Parents*
*FIRST -- YOU HONOR YOUR PARENTS BY BEING OBEDIENT.
*
*Colossians 3:20** *
*20** **Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
(NIV)*
You do not obey your parents just to please mom or dad.
You must obey your parents to please the Lord.
If you displease the Lord, it doesn't matter whom you please.
When you obey your parents God gives you a promise.
Look at
* *
*Exodus 20:12** *
*12** **"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
(NIV)*
Do you see the promise?
God says, when we obey our parents, that is one way to live longer.
Think about that for a minute.
If a nation has a group of children who do not respect their parents, they will not respect others.
And the result will be an increase in crime.
Out in the Rocky Mountains is the Great Divide.
It is the place where the mountains reach their highest peak.
When it rains on the Continental Divide, if the water falls to the right of the Continental Divide, that drop of water will flow into
the Atlantic Ocean.
If the drop of water falls to the left of the Continental Divide it will flow into the Pacific Ocean.
Each drop of water seems to start so near each other, but they can end up miles apart.
So it is with children.
Children can have the same background, the same opportunities, the same genes, chromosomes, DNA, and the same abilities and yet they can end up miles apart.
I want to tell you, that one of the key things, that make some children turn out so well and another child so wrong, is that some have learned to honor their father and mother.
Look at Romans 1:29 and following and notice the category of sins that disobedient to parents is listed with.
* *
*Romans 1:27-30** *
God puts being disobedient to parents right along with homosexuals and murders.
Being disobedient to parents is a wicked and hellish sin.
Not only is disobedience to parents a hellish sin, it is also the sign of the last days.
Look at:
*2** Timothy 3:1-5** *
*1** **But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy*
*4** **treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God -- *
*5 **having a form of godliness but denying its power.
Have nothing to do with them.
(NIV)*
What is God saying?
God is saying if we do not honor our parents, it matters not that you go to church, that you have been baptized, that you take communion or you have sung a hymn.
If you are disobedient to your parents, you have only a *"form of godliness."
* But that is all you have.
You do not have the real thing.
Any so called faith in God that is not rooted in obeying parents is a bogus faith.
In the last days, not only will children be disobedient to parents but they will have their parents murdered and parents will betray their children.
Look at:* *
*Matthew** 10:21** *
*21** **"Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.
(NIV)*
I can just hear someone saying, "But pastor, the reason I disobey my parents is that my parents are not always right.
And sometimes they are hypocrites."
Look at
*Ephesians 6:1** *
*1** **Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
(NIV)*
Notice the Bible does not say to obey your parents because they are always right.
It says we are to obey our parents *"for this is right.**"*
*SECOND -- YOU HONOR YOUR PARENTS BY BEING HELPFUL AND CARING.
*
We should help our parents with the housework and other work that needs to be done.
