Parents, you will teach your children more by scheduling regular times to nurture the relationship between husband and wife

than you would ever teach them through a lecture on committment.

it is equally important that you teach them through your example how to cherish the future gift of a companion that the Lord has in store for them.

Selamat membagikan dampak bagi sesama agar nama Tuhan dimuliakan melalui keluarga.

Dengan demikian kalian sanggup mengetahui kemauan Allah--yaitu apa yang baik dan yang menyenangkan hati-Nya dan yang sempurna

The paradox of choice isn’t a new concept—the sheer number of options we have today seems to be making everyone a little anxious.

Not every decision is critical. Rest on God and feel free to throw anxiety away.

Anak Allah Yesus nama-Nya
Menyucikan, menyembuhkan
Bahkan mati tebus dosaku
Kubur kosong membuktikan Dia hidup
S'bab Dia hidup, ada hari esok
S'bab Dia hidup, ku tak gentar
Kar'na ku tau Dia pegang hari esok
Hidup jadi berarti s'bab Dia hidup.

William Gather

God created each one of us in our own unique way.

Just like a snowflake we all hold a blueprint that differs one from another.

It’s great to lose weight and keep our bodies healthy and strong,

but it’s also important that we appreciate who we are today –

with or without extra pounds.

Candace Bure

I give all the glory to God. It’s kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me.

Imamat 19:32

Our children's rebellion is not the problem. It is the symptom.

Why they are rebelling is the problem.

And unless we address the "why," the external things we do in reaction to their rebellion will not make much of a difference.

Tim Kimmel, Why Christian Kids Rebel: Trading Heartache for Hope

Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.

Author Unknown

Anak-anakku, marilah kita mengasihi bukan dengan perkataan atau dengan lidah, tetapi dengan perbuatan dan dalam kebenaran.

1 Yohanes 3:18

The trouble with being a parent is that by the time you are experienced, you are unemployed.

Calling a child "rebellious" has the equivalent effect of calling a child that is struggling in school "stupid." It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Tim Kimmel

Parents are traffic signs that are always in our blind spots.

Ask your children two questions this Christmas.

First: “What do you want to give to others for Christmas?”

Second: “What do you want for Christmas?”

The first fosters generosity of heart and an outward focus.

The second can breed selfishness if not tempered by the first.

You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up.

Deuteronomy 11:19

As God relates to us as His children, so we must relate to our children

You want to mess up the minds of your children?

Here’s how – guaranteed!

Rear them in a legalistic, tight context of external religion, where performance is more important than reality.

Fake your faith. Sneak around and pretend your spirituality. Train your children to do the same.

Embrace a long list of do’s and don’ts publicly but hypocritically practice them privately… yet never own up to the fact that its hypocrisy.

Act one way but live another.

And you can count on it – emotional and spiritual damage will occur.

Charles Swindoll

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.

Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:34

The family should be a closely knit group.

The home should be a self-contained shelter of security;

a kind of school where life’s basic lessons are taught;

and a kind of church where God is honored;

a place where wholesome recreation and simple pleasures are enjoyed.

Billy Graham

A child needs both to be hugged and unhugged.

The hug lets her know she is valuable.

The unhug lets her know that she is viable.

If you’re always shoving your child away, they will cling to you for love.

If you’re always holding them closer, they will cling to you for fear.

Polly Berrien Berends

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.

He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

Henry Ward Beecher

When we let our children fly as arrows, we understand that we have been chosen by God to be the bow in their lives and point them in the right direction as we lead them to Jesus.

Crystal McDowell

Let no Christian parents fall into the delusion that Sunday School is intended to ease them of their personal duties. The first and most natural condition of things is for Christian parents to train up their own children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Until kids find something worth dying for, they don't have anything worth living for.

Tim Kimmel, Why Christian Kids Rebel: Trading Heartache for Hope

1. You are loved more than you can imagine.
2. The world does not revolve around you.
