I have enjoyed the opportunity to speak at graduation events in two schools this week. Congratulations to the graduates of Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville and the graduates of Seffner Christian Academy as well. Tomorrow morning we will honor all of our graduates from Fellowship Baptist Church during our morning worship service at 11am. We love you all and are so proud of your accomplishment!
Thought For The Day
Ephesians 6:1-2 Children, obey your parents in the
Lord: for this is right. (2) Honor your father and mother; (which is the first commandment with
promise;)
"True honor comes as the result of being
honorable." I read this wonderful quote this morning in the book Five Signs of a Loving Family by Gary Chapman. Children are commanded to honor their parents, but it is assumed that these parents would understand their responsibility to be honorable. There is one of ten commandments directed at children to honor their parents, parents should be diligently following the remaining ten. How desperately our nation and culture needs a resurgence of honor and respect. This will only come from a focus on this in the home.
Application
How are you doing today to be a person of honor. Do you model respectfulness to your children in your dealings with others? It is never too late to change. Gather your children today and commit to them from here forward to display a genuine example of honor to them.
