Ephesians 61 Deuteronomy 516 Deuteronomy 66-7 Proverbs 2915 Hebrews 1317 Children Obey Your Parents

bull QUESTION FOR THE DAYbull Dear Compassbull We have three children ages 16 18 and 20 One is in college and the other

two are a sophomore and senior in high school It is so easy to give up on them because of their attitudes Especially the senior Most of what we read says that they are going through that time of detaching and that we should leave them alone But thats hard especially when they give us snippy answers to simple questions

bull We seem to always be walking on eggshells just to avoid making waves - but there are waves anyway We feel that they are basically great kids - involved in youth group and go to church But somewhere we have failed and this is a situation that constantly gets us down as parents Of course we have prayed about this Please help

bullANSWER

bull (This response is to the dad)bull Regardless of age the Bible commands children to respect their parentsbull Honor your father and your mother as the Lord your God has commanded

you that your days may be prolonged mdash Deuteronomy 516 It is your responsibility to see that your children are continuously taught key Biblical principles

bull These words which I am commanding you today shall be on your heart and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up mdash Deuteronomy 66-7 So the problem is not entirely your childrens insolence But regardless your children are moving into a difficult time of decision making in a self-centered state If you or someone else cant reach them with the Biblical armor they need it could be disastrous So you should quit worrying about making waves By walking on eggshells you are promoting their own self-centeredness not Christ-centeredness

bull The rod and reproof give wisdom but the child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother mdash Proverbs 2915 Explain to them that because you love them you are going to push for Gods best in their lives But your children need to be taught that God not only loves them (John 316) but also is a God who places a high priority on obedience - for their own good

bull You must take control of your children Consider taking some consistent quality time to do Bible study with your children You could begin by asking for their forgiveness for not teaching them Scripture like you should have Start with the basics even if you think they know them Then concentrate on verses where God says He expects them to do what He says regardless of their feelings or what the world believes Naturally you would want to eventually study the verses on authority like

bull Obey your leaders and submit to them mdash Hebrews 1317 Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right mdash Ephesians 61

bull If they dont respond you have no choice but to take away privileges etcbull This should serve as a reminder to all who have children that teaching

them spiritual values foundation priorities etc is more important than anything else in the world

bull QUESTION FOR THE DAYbull Dear Compassbull I have a question regarding generational curses I would like to know what you

think about this issue Do you think we need to be blaming generational curses for the things that happen to us certain behavior in our family etc

bullANSWER

bull Most teaching regarding generational curses is based on the following scripturebull You shall not worship [other gods] or serve them for I the Lord your God am a

jealous God visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children on the third and fourth generations of those who hate me mdashExodus 205To teach that this verse explains why some Christians act the way they do is wrong First you must consider the whole thought which becomes obvious in the very next verse

bull but showing lovingkindness to thousands to those who love Me and keep My commandments mdashExodus 206God is saying that the effects of disobedience (in this case worshiping idols) last for a time but the effects of trusting His Messiahs substitutionary death on the cross are far more extensivemdashto a thousand generations Therefore the effect of sin can be broken by faith in God

bull Also Exodus is Old Testament law and were now under Church Age grace Christians are free from the law of sin and death (Romans 82) In Christ all things are new and the OT Law is not in effect

bull Therefore if any man is in Christ he is a new creature the old things passed away behold new things have come mdash2 Corinthians 517Some people confuse generational curses with consequences of sin For example if a homosexual repents and trusts God there may still be consequences of their prior activity that will affect them andor their family in this life Or if a woman abuses drugs while she is pregnant even if she realizes her behavior was wrong and repents there may be physical consequences to her andor the baby But that is not the context of what is being taught in Exodus 20

Should Israel Return the Tablets of the Law to Egypt By Hershel Shanks

bull ldquoIn 1969 barely two years after the 1967 Six-Day War a team of Israeli archaeologists made an exploratory excavation at the base of one of the numerous sites in the Sinai Peninsula proposed as Biblical Mt Sinai It was not long before a member of the team exposed a piece of rock with a single Hebrew letter on it This naturally led to more intensive excavation in this area as a result of which additional larger pieces of inscribed stones were recovered They were taken to Israel for further study

bull When examined by paleographers experts in dating inscriptions by the shape and form of the letters they were in agreement that this inscription dated to about 1200 BCE

bull Gradually the pieces of stone were fitted together In the end a few pieces from the end and on the side were missing but

bull but they did not appear to have contained letters What could be read was clear Word for word the inscription was identical to the text of the Ten Commandments This text appears in the Bible twice once in Exodus 20 and again in Deuteronomy 5 There are some differences but the most important is in the Fourth Commandmentrsquos reasons for the observance of the Sabbath Surprisingly the text on the reconstructed stone tablets from Sinai follows Deuteronomy more closely than Exodus

bull It was difficult for the scholars to resist the obvious conclusion These were the original Tablets of the Law that Moses destroyed when he came down from the mountain and found the Israelites worshiping the Golden Calf The scholars agreed that all things considered it was best to keep the discovery secret at least for the time being The tablets as reconstructed were placed in the university vault and forgottenhelliprdquo

The coveting heart is not innocent In Gods eyes it is corrupt and it is corrosive A Corrupt 1 It Disregards the Laws of GodThat it is corrupt is obvious because God would not have included it in the list of The Ten Big Ones Just because it is last doesnt mean it is least I think it has an effect on all the other ten For instance (1) How many of you have put money and possessions ahead of God - V3(2) How many have bowed at the altars of materialism and greed while refusing to bow at the altar of the Lord - Vs 4-6(3) Many have blasphemed the name of the Lord in efforts to acquire things Disregarding Gods Word to obtain what you want in life is blaspheming - V 7(4) Have you ever desecrated the Lords day to make money - Vs9-11(5) Many parents are treated poorly and cast aside by children too busy making money to be bothered with them - V12(6) Many people are dead today because somebody wanted something that belonged to them - V13(7) Lots of marriages are torn apart because of as one preacher said He was so caught up in earning his salt he neglected his sugar A coveting heart is behind adultery Coveting and lust are first cousins - V14(8) It goes without saying that stealing is the end result of a covetous spirit that has gone too far - V15(9) Often people will lie about another person gossip about them because they are envious and covetous of that persons life - V16 Listen to PaulRomans 77-87 What shall we say then Is the law sin Certainly not On the contrary I would not have known sin except through the law For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said You shall not covet 8 But sin taking opportunity by the commandment produced in me all manner of evil desire For apart from the law sin was dead NKJV2 It Denies the Lordship of ChristPhilippians 41919 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus NKJV B It is Corrosive 1 It becomes Excessive (and destructive)Luke 1215-2115 And He said to them Take heed and beware of covetousness for ones life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses 16 Then He spoke a parable to them saying The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully 17 And he thought within himself saying What shall I do since I have no room to store my crops 18 So he said I will do this I will pull down my barns and build greater and there I will store all my crops and my goods 19 And I will say to my soul Soul you have many goods laid up for many years take your ease eat drink and be merry 20 But God said to him Fool This night your soul will be required of you then whose will those things be which you have provided 21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God Howard Hughes a billionaire He wanted more so he went to Hollywood and became a film maker and star He wanted more sensual pleasures so he paid large sums to indulge every sensual urge He wanted more thrills so he designed built and piloted the fastest aircraft in the world He wanted more power so he secretly dealt political favors so skillfully that two US presidents became his pawns All he ever wanted was more Yet this man ended his life as a pitiful sight He lived in darkness his arms covered with needle marks from drug addition his finger nails were inches long and curled up in a grotesque way his teeth were black and rotten His hair to his waist long beard He lived like a hermit He wore rubber gloves all the time and wouldnt leave his apartment He died weighing 95 pounds as a billionaire junkie

bull The side effects of an excessive coveting heart Fatigue debt worry conflict dissatisfaction No wonder families are being destroyed today2 It can Become ExploitativeMicah 222 They covet fields and take them by violenceAlso houses and seize themSo they oppress a man and his houseA man and his inheritance

bull bull THE CONTENTED HEART

This is the opposite of the coveting heart Paul learned contentment Listen to himPhilippians 411-1311 Not that I speak in regard to need for I have learned in whatever state I am to be content 12 I know how to be abased and I know how to abound Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry both to abound and to suffer need 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens mePhilippians 41919 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus NKJVContentment is learned Heres some help in learning contentment

bull A Resist comparing yourself to others

bull 2 Corinthians 1012 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves But they measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise (Houses cars jobs looks clothes etc) Learn to admire without having to acquire Why do we compare anyway Because thats the way society keeps score by possessions But your possessions have nothing to do with your significance or importance You can be a millionaire and be a jerk or you can be poor and be wonderful

bull B Rejoice in what you do have

bull Eccl 519 says If God gives a man wealth and property he should be grateful and enjoy what he has It is a gift from God (GN)Theres the trap of When and Then thinkingWhen I get married then Ill be happyWhen I get divorced then Ill be happyWhen we have kids then well be happyWhen I get another job then Ill be happyHappiness is not getting whatever you want Happiness is enjoying whatever you have (repeat)2 Tim says that God has richly given us everything for our enjoyment A rich man finds a man lazily sitting by his boat Why arent you fishing asks the rich man Because Ive caught enough fish for today Why dont you catch more fish than you need the rich man asks What would I do with them came back the fishermanYou could sell them for money You could buy a better boat go into deeper water catch even more fish and make lots of money Soon you could have a fleet of fishing boats and be rich like meThe fisherman asked Then what would I doYou could sit down and enjoy lifeWhat do you think Im doing now

bull C Release what you have to help others

bull 1 Timothy 617-1917 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God who gives us richly all things to enjoy 18 Let them do good that they be rich in good works ready to give willing to share 19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come that they may lay hold on eternal life NKJV

bull Whos the rich here All Americans no matter what you make You are in the top 2 of income in the world4 precautions for us in these verses1 Dont become proud of your wealth Dont think you are better than anybody else2 Dont put your trust in money Security is not your bank account3 Use your money to do good Dont waste it Dont blow it4 Give cheerfully Giving is a cure for materialism The opposite of getting is giving The benefit is that you are storing up treasure in heaven

bull This reminds me of a story I heard about a guy who died and went to heaven When he got there he saw a friend there driving a Mercedes Whats that Peter said The transportation you are given in heaven is based on how much youve given sent on ahead That guy was very generous The guy asked What about me Well Peter said You werent so generous so you get a Moped He was pretty sad until he saw his former pastor come by on roller skatesbull

D Refocus on whats going to lastbull

2 Corinthians 418 while we do not look at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen For the things which are seen are temporary but the things which are not seen are eternalbull bull If we do these 4 things well be OK

(1) Resist Comparing yourself to others (2) Rejoice in what you do have(3) Release what you have to help others (4) Refocus on whats going to last

Now it also is the scene of an effort to restore the nation to a standard of Judeo-Christian morality that the Founders envisioned ndash through a billboard of the Ten Commandments

Its part of a nationwide effort to re-introduce Americans to the Ten Commandments and awaken both believers and non-believers to the evil that abounds in America

The Ten Commandments appear under the headline Thus Saith the Lord

The effort was launched by Joseph Farah founder and CEO of WNDcom and WND Books to place the Ten Commandments in front of more American eyes than ever before

The message has been under attack from civil rights organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union for years which removed them from schools public buildings and even some churcheshellipbull Farah said theyre still needed across America

Turner offered instead of Gods laws his own rules called The Ten Voluntary Initiatives

He later apologized

Farah also pointed to a recent failure by the ACLU to remove the Ten Commandments from a courthouse in Dixie County Fla

Senior US District Judge Maurice M Paul dismissed the case when an anonymous North Carolina man who complained about the message didnt move to the county

Liberty Counsel attorney Harry Mihet said We went from an order that the monument goes and you have to pay $130000 to the ACLU to the monument stays and the ACLU has to pay a total of $3600

Help support the campaign to post the Ten Commandments throughout America bull hellipThe problem is America is not limited to atheists agnostics cults and non-believers said Farah In fact the biggest problem America has is with those who call themselves believers but who act no differently than the worldliest individuals on the planet You can

call these people backslidden You can call them false converts Or you can call them undiscipled nominal believers What they all have in common is they are not in obedience to God They are not even trying to follow the most basic moral law as Jesus and the prophets all instructedldquohellip

Biblical Archaeology Reviewbull BAR 3805 SepOct 2012bull First Person Should Israel Return the Tablets of the Law to Egyptbull By Hershel Shanksbull In 1969 barely two years after the 1967 Six-Day War a team of Israeli archaeologists made an exploratory excavation at the base of one of the numerous sites in the Sinai Peninsula proposed as Biblical Mt Sinai It was not

long before a member of the team exposed a piece of rock with a single Hebrew letter on it This naturally led to more intensive excavation in this area as a result of which additional larger pieces of inscribed stones were recovered They were taken to Israel for further study

bull When examined by paleographers experts in dating inscriptions by the shape and form of the letters they were in agreement that this inscription dated to about 1200 BCEbull Gradually the pieces of stone were fitted together In the end a few pieces from the end and on the side were missing but they did not appear to have contained letters What could be read was clear Word for word the

inscription was identical to the text of the Ten Commandments This text appears in the Bible twice once in Exodus 20 and again in Deuteronomy 5 There are some differences but the most important is in the Fourth Commandmentrsquos reasons for the observance of the Sabbath Surprisingly the text on the reconstructed stone tablets from Sinai follows Deuteronomy more closely than Exodus

bull It was difficult for the scholars to resist the obvious conclusion These were the original Tablets of the Law that Moses destroyed when he came down from the mountain and found the Israelites worshiping the Golden Calf The scholars agreed that all things considered it was best to keep the discovery secret at least for the time being The tablets as reconstructed were placed in the university vault and forgotten

bull Since the Arab Spring and the revolution in Egypt the new Egyptian government has learned of this archaeological discovery and made a formal demand for the return to Egypt of the two Tablets of the Law claiming that they were recovered in territory under the sovereignty of Egypt There can be no doubt is where they were found Is Israel obligated to return them under international law if found in an excavation in the Sinai

bull In law school this is called a hypothetical that is a hypothetical case that tests the application of a legal rule In this instance Would Israel be obligated to turn over to Egypt the original Tablets of the Law if they had been discovered in Sinai

bull The rule generally recognized (like many rules of international law it has not been formally ldquoenactedrdquo or enunciated in haec verba) is that archaeological objects especially recently recovered objects belong to the nation with sovereignty over the place where the object was found unless it was removed legally

bull Often this makes sense Sometimes it doesnrsquota This hypothetical case would surely be one of thembull While the nation where the object was found certainly has some claim to the object so does the culture that produced itbull This is especially so where a modern nation has no cultural connection to the culturenation that ruled the area when the object was created In this case modern Egypt occupies largely the same space occupied by

ancient Egypt but it has no cultural relationship to ancient Egypt Egyptians donrsquot speak the same language (ancient Egyptians spoke Egyptian most modern Egyptians speak Arabic) they donrsquot use the same writing system (hieroglyphic vs the Arabic alphabet) donrsquot worship the same gods donrsquot revere the same texts and there is no resonance of ancient Egyptian culture in modern Egyptian culture The opposite of course is true of Israel

bull If the outcome of this case is not clear at least it should be discussed As far as I can tell it is not The only cases that are discussed involve demands by Egypt Greece Italy Turkey and perhaps a few other countries for the return of objects from Western mostly American museums and universities

bull The ldquoculturerdquo element may well come up in contexts other than our hypothetical The caves near Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found lie just within the West Bank The Palestinians claim the scrolls as part of their heritage (So does Jordan which claimed this area when the scrolls were found) Indeed much of Israel today occupies ancient Philistia rather than ancient Israel Much of Biblical Israel lies in the West Bank

bull Other questions involve not what Israel has that others could claim but what Israel could claim from others For instance the Gezer Calendar which is a contender for the oldest Hebrew inscription b was found in the early 20th century at Tel Gezer a site that lies about halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem This treasure can be seen only in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum The famous Siloam Inscription found in Hezekiahrsquos tunnel in Jerusalem was also discovered under Ottoman control and taken to Constantinople it too now resides in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum

bull Long ago I pleaded with the Turkish government to return the Siloam Inscription to Jerusalemc I did not even get a response The inscriptionrsquos importance to Turkey is reflected in the fact that at that time the inscription was not displayed in a public gallery Later I urged the Turkish embassy to consider a short-term loan in connection with the observance of Jerusalemrsquos 3000th anniversary in 1996 Same responsemdashno response

bull Ironically enough as I write the Turkish government has refused to lend objects to the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London unless they return disputed artifacts Adding irony to irony some of the objects Turkey refused to lend the Met were excavated in Saudi Arabia and were taken to Turkey in Ottoman times1

bull I confess it is hard to imagine Israelrsquos giving up the Dead Sea Scrolls On the other hand it is hard to imagine the Jordanians giving up one of the most important and intriguing of the Dead Sea Scrolls which is exhibited in the Amman archaeological museummdashthe Copper Scroll which probably records the location of hidden treasures from the Jerusalem Temple

Romans 130 Proverbs 18 131 3017 Matthew 2639 Luke 251 2 Timothy 32 Jeremiah 3518-19 Ephesians 61-3 Exodus 2012

Honor Father And Motherbull Question What does it mean to honor my father and mother

Answer Honoring your father and mother is being respectful in word and action and having an inward attitude of esteem for their position The Greek word for honor means ldquoto revere prize and valuerdquo Honor is giving respect not only for merit but also for rank For example some Americans may disagree with the Presidentrsquos decisions but they should still respect his position as leader of their country Similarly children of all ages should honor their parents regardless of whether or not their parents ldquodeserverdquo honor

God exhorts us to honor father and mother He values honoring parents enough to include it in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 2012) and again in the New Testament ldquoChildren obey your parents in the Lord for this is right Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise so that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earthrdquo (Ephesians 61-3) Honoring parents is the only command in Scripture that promises long life as a reward Those who honor their parents are blessed (Jeremiah 3518-19) In contrast those with a ldquodepraved mindrdquo and those who exhibit ungodliness in the last days are characterized by disobedience to parents (Romans 130 2 Timothy 32)

Solomon the wisest man urged children to respect their parents (Proverbs 18 131 3017) Although we may no longer be directly under their authority we cannot outgrow Godrsquos command to honor our parents Even Jesus God the Son submitted Himself to both His earthly parents (Luke 251) and His heavenly Father (Matthew 2639) Following Christrsquos example we should treat our parents the way we would reverentially approach our heavenly Father (Hebrews 129 Malachi 16)

Obviously we are commanded to honor our parents but how Honor them with both actions and attitudes (Mark 76) Honor their unspoken as well as spoken wishes ldquoA wise son heeds his fathers instruction but a mocker does not listen to rebukerdquo (Proverbs 131) In Matthew 153-9 Jesus reminded the Pharisees of the command of God to honor their father and mother They were obeying the letter of the law but they had added their own traditions that essentially overruled it While they honored their parents in word their actions proved their real motive Honor is more than lip service The word ldquohonorrdquo in this passage is a verb and as such demands a right action

We should seek to honor our parents in much the same way that we strive to bring glory to Godmdashin our thoughts words and actions For a young child obeying parents goes hand in hand with honoring them That includes listening heeding and submitting to their authority After children mature the obedience that they learned as children will serve them well in honoring other authorities such as government police and employers

While we are required to honor parents that doesnrsquot include imitating ungodly ones (Ezekiel 2018-19) If a parent ever instructs a child to do something that clearly contradicts Godrsquos commands that child must obey God rather than hisher parents (Acts 529)

Honor begets honor God will not honor those who will not obey His command to honor their parents If we desire to please God and be blessed we should honor our parents Honoring is not easy is not always fun and certainly is not possible in our own strength But honor is a certain path to our purpose in lifemdashglorifying God ldquoChildren obey your parents in everything for this pleases the Lordrdquo (Colossians 320)

Ex 20 Deut 5 Eph 61-3 HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER

bull QampA

bull Question My father abused my siblings and mefor years Recently he demanded that we come to his house to receive an early part of our inheritance We would no longer be considered his children if we did not show up and obey his decree His gift had some specific conditions that I believed were wrong Due to these conditions I and several other siblings could not obey and declined or returned the money This made him furious How do I honor this manwho has shown no evidence of repentance at alland when I am no longer his child by his own vow How do I address him as father or dad ever again

Response Paul wrote Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right Honour thy father and mother which is the first commandment with promise That it may be well with thee and thou mayest live long on the earth (Eph 61-3)

bull So first children are to obey their parents in the Lord We may not always have godly parents and some of their commands may contradict the revealed will of the Lord Paul writes in Romans 131 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers For there is no power but of God the powers that be are ordained of God Our first obligation is to obey the Lord regardless of our age

bull Second we are told to honor thy father and mother Some may think that to honor our father or mother means to obey every demand they may make This isnt true Again our first priority is the express will of God and when our earthly parents stand in opposition to this we certainly cannot disobey the Lord

There is a difference between a child in submission to their parents and adults who no longer live with their parents Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh (Gn 224) In our view adult children are accountable first to the Lord and are no longer under the direct authority of their parents

bull What does it mean to honor someone In 1 Peter 217 we are told Honour all men Love the brotherhood Fear God Honour the king Certainly honoring all men doesnt include agreeing to or obeying every demand they may make It does mean however to be respectful Not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing but contrariwise blessing knowing that ye are thereunto called that ye should inherit a blessing (1 Pt 39)

bull What should be our response before authorities When Paul was before the chief priests the High Priest commanded one of his aides to strike him (Acts 232) Paul replied God shall smite thee thou whited wall (Acts 233)

bull Regardless of the unjustness of his trial when the authority of the high priest was pointed out (v 4) Pauls reply (v 5) was I wist not brethren that he was the high priest for it is written Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people Paul reviled not again (1 Pt 223)

bull When Daniels three friends appeared before Nebuchadnezzar they answered firmly but without railing If it be so our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and he will deliver usBut if not be it known unto thee O king that we will not serve thy gods nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up (Dn 317-18) God did intervene and the king promoted Shadrach Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon (v 30)

bull You ask how you can address him as father or dad ever again Shouldnt the question be how do I respond according to the Scriptures

bull Despite what your father has said or done he remains your father Neither you nor he can change that fact If his decree however means there will be no further contact with him that rests with the Lord Who knows how the Lord may intervene as He did for Daniels three friends Your godly conduct may be used of the Lord to convict bring repentance and change the heart of your father And of course you should never cease to pray for him
