Raising Amazing Kids – Part 4
Today’s Kids Need Today’s Parents … On Purpose
May 21-22, 2011
IT’S A DIFFERENT WORLD!
“All these men [the men of Issachar] understood the temper of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.”
(NLT)
Key idea: We’ve got to parent to
“Teach your children to choose the right path, and when they are older, they will remain upon it.”
(NLT)
IN TODAY’S WORLD … AMAZING KIDS NEED
1.
“The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush, but the words of the godly save lives.”
(NLT)
2.
“And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands I am giving you today.
Repeat them again and again to your children.
Talk about them when you are at home and when you are away on a journey, when you are lying down and when you are getting up again.”
(NLT)
3.
>Chores
>Consequences
“A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions.
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.”
(NLT)
Natural consequences
Logical consequences
>When natural consequences are too dangerous
>When natural consequences don’t exist
>When natural consequences are ineffective
“My child, don’t ignore when the Lord disciplines you and don’t be discouraged when He corrects you for the Lord corrects those He loves just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.”
(NLT)
WHAT DO PARENTS NEED?
1.
“Cry out for insight and understanding.
Search for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure… the LORD gives wisdom!” , (NLT)
2.
“God began the good work within you, and will continue his work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again.”
(NLT)
3.
“…by him [Jesus] God reconciled everything to himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of his blood on the cross.”
(NLT)
“Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.”
(NLT)

Raising Amazing Kids – Part 4
Doug Fields
May 21-22, 2011
Well, hello everyone.
Well, you know why they asked me to speak this weekend?
Because they knew that if the rapture did happen, I would still be here.
That’s my best guess, but it doesn’t matter.
I’m thrilled to be here, thrilled to be a part of this series.
We’re in part 4 of Raising Amazing Kids and I’m thrilled to kind of land the plane on this one.
I know this has been a great series for me and my family.
And really, it doesn’t matter what age your kids are, or even if you have kids; we need kids in our life to be better people.
We’re influencing kids.
All this has been really, really good.
I realize there is a small portion of people who chose not to have kids.
You don’t like kids; you don’t like to be around kids.
I understand that.
I worked with kids many, many years.
And before we had kids, working with kids was our form of birth control.
So I get that.
I get that.
We sat our family down at a restaurant one time and this couple who were by themselves, they asked to be moved.
So I asked the waitress if we could move next to them.
I just felt people have a lot to learn by being around kids.
My kids are getting older, but I’m definitely in the dad zone.
My kids all grew up at this church.
Here’s a quick picture of the Fields family.
My oldest is Torie.
She graduates from college next week, which, like 95 percent of all college students, she will move back home with us.
This is my son Cody, who is a freshman at Azusa Pacific, went there to play football.
And
my youngest is Cassie who is 16, a sophomore in high school.
And they get all their good looks from the queen of the family, Cathy Fields, who is the greatest.
And everything I’ve learned about parenting, I’ve really learned from her, just watching her.
All my kids are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, but they’ve had an incredible mom.
I’ve told Cathy before that if parenting were a high school, she would be the valedictorian and I would be the guy in the gymnasium trying to burp the alphabet.
So everything I’m teaching today I’ve basically stolen from my wife.
But if you grab your notes, you’ll see that I want to start by just saying it is a different world that today’s kids are growing up in than the one you grew up in.
This was the family of yesteryear, Ozzie and Harriet.
Today’s family is a little different, it’s Ozzie and Sharon.
Now by show of hands, who would agree that the world has changed?
Let me see.
Yeah, absolutely.
What’s the number one way the world has changed?
Okay, technology, big.
Yes, absolutely.
When Grandma said “Log on,” she was cold.
It’s a different world.
But this might surprise you: as much as the world has changed, I don’t think kids have changed all that much.
Look at this quote, “Youth today loves luxury.
They have bad manners, contempt for authority, no respect for older people and talk nonsense when they should be working.”
Sounds like kids you know today, right?
This quote was from Socrates, 500 years before the life of Christ.
That means kids have been driving adults crazy for a long time.
There is nothing new.
Today’s kids are still asking the fundamental questions that you and I ask.
They are asking, “Who am I?” “Does anybody like me?” “Am I okay?”
And “Can I get an allowance for doing nothing?”
These are common questions that kids ask.
These are questions for identity and
questions for meaning and purpose.
