Instructing a Child’s Heart -Part 2 Last week I introduced you to the term “Formative Instruction”. I also shared with you the 5 principles to keep in mind you undertake formative instruction. This week: Where do find this call to formative instruction? We find it in Deuteronomy 6:1-9: Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates The Goal The goal of formative instruction is so that we and our children and our grandchildren may fear the Lord and walk in his ways, enjoying a good life. When and Where When and where is formative instruction done? Everywhere. All the time. There are both formal and informal, when you sit at home, when you are lying down, when you rise up, as you walk along the road. Our Love for God is Essential Our love for God is the foundation for anything we have to say. We cannot impress our children with the fame of God’s name if we are not impressed with him ourselves. )When truth about God is our greatest joy, we will help our children interpret life from a biblical perspective. Here are some truths we need to impress upon our children: • • • • • •
Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions. We need to walk in wisdom, submit to the goodness of God’s way, and turn away from our own agendas. A life of prayer and godly counsel is our desire. God’s authority structures are a blessing. Loving parents are a blessing from God. Our hearts cannot be trusted.
Prayer Requests
We do not instruct and disciple our children to make them Christians. Only the Spirit of God can do that. Our hope as we instruct our children is that the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. In God’s providence, our children are confronted everyday with their need for grace to forgive and to empower them to do what is right. Our hope is that the gospel will be the power of God to salvation in their lives as it has been in ours. Please note: All these notes are taken from the book Instructing a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp.
