Honor Your Parents

Bill Brinkworth

Ephesians 6:1 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right."

Why honour your parents? It is a commandment from Godin the Old and

New Testaments.

Exodus 20:12 "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long

upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."a commandment with

promise.

Colosians 3:20 "Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well

pleasing unto the Lord."

Leviticus 19:3 "Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my

sabbaths: I am the LORD your God."

Deuteronomy 5:16 "Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God

hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well

with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."

Honour is: "to obey, to reverence, to speak kindly to, to speak and think well of,

and includes respect and submission."

Listen to what they say! Mom and dad have more experience than most people

in your lives. Listen to them and learn.

Proverbs 1:8 "My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law

of thy mother:"

Proverbs 4:1" Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know

understanding."

Love your parents.Dont ridicule them or make fun of them.

Proverbs 30:17 "The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey hismother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat

it."

If you dont, you WILL reap what you sow!

Deuteronomy 4:40 "Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his

commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee,

and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the

earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever."

If you dont, do not expect the blessings from the Lord.

Deuteronomy 27:16 "Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother.And all the people shall say, Amen".

What God thinks about disobedience to parents:

Matthew 15:4 "For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother:

and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death."

Exodus 21:17 "And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put

to death.:"this refers to the law in Leviticus 20:9. According to Websters to

curse is: "to disobey, to treat with irreverence, to swear at, to speak ill of, to

think evil of in the heart, to meditate or do any evil to a parent."Leviticus 20:9 "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be

surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be

upon him."This is from the old testament law. We are now NOT under the

law. Thank God. This punishment is not for today, but it does give you and idea

of what God thinks about the sin of disobedience.

Deuteronomy 21:18 " If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will

not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they

have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 19 Then shall his father andhis mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and

unto the gate of his place;20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This

our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton,

and a drunkard. 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that

he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear,

and fear."

Not just when youre young!

Proverbs 23:22 "Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thymother when she is old."

In the last days, disobedience will be worse.

II Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,


3/3

blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural

affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those

that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than

lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:

from such turn away."
