    Have you ever seen a 5-year old drive a car? Well, you say, “Don’t be ridiculous!” Right! They watch you drive for years, before they begin to drive – with you in the car, and finally, they’re able to drive on their own. That’s a word picture for where Chip is headed today. Your children watch you as you live in obedience to the Lord, they practice obedience with you alongside, and finally, they live a life of love and obedience to God all on their own. Exactly how that process unfolds is what Chip explains in this message. Introduction: God’s Dream for Your Child You must understand your child’s two primary needs are for SIGNIFICANCE and SECURITY.You must recognize your child’s primary responsibility is to learn OBEDIENCE.You must remember, obedience is a DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS.You must commit to providing the necessary RESOURCES for your child to learn obedience.Obedience is achieved when your child has TRANSFERRED his/her primary love, submission, and dependency from YOU to JESUS CHRIST.Three characteristics of righteous children They make wise DECISIONS. -Philippians 1:9-11They keep their COMMITMENTS. -Proverbs 20:6They care genuinely for OTHERS. -John 15:13Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions Marriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect 888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With Us Donate Online888-333-6003
