The Caring Parent

These two
mothers
and
represent two
The Careless
types of parents:
Parent.
Today, some parents

still destroy their
innocent children!
Let us look at
seven secrets to
protect, nurture
and empower
our children for
success.
Some children
inherit or acquire
physical, mental or
emotional
limitations. How
should I respond to
such challenges?
Reaffirming my
child’s uniqueness
Mephibosheth, though
crippled, was the son of a
king.
Despite my child’s
limitations, he or she is still a
child of the King!
Parental rejection is
devastating, and can lead to
criminal behavior.
Disadvantaged children
should be loved, for they are
special!

self esteem
We’re proud
by saying: of you!
Sensing God’s
value of a
person is the
most powerful
key to positive
self esteem!
“I have loved you

with an
everlasting love”
Isaiah 43:4
Jesus loves me Jesus loves

me!
When children are led

to the foot of the cross,
This I know,
and realize that Jesus
values them so much that Oh, Yes!
He died for each of them,

they get a sense of
their inestimable worth!
For the Bible Tells me so.

Third
Develop the
Strengths
Proverbs 22:6
Enable Jack to get
the best technical
education to reach
the top!
Our Heavenly Father expresses His love to

His children. We should do so to our
children!
“I have loved you with an everlasting love” –
Jeremiah 31:3
To the child, the most

significant person is the
parent, and the most vital
need is to feel loved by the
parent. Those diamond
words, “I love you,” should
be spoken often by each
parent to every child.
Appropriate
touch: embraces,
hugs and kisses.
Love notes,
cards, love
letters.
Celebrations:
Other expressions of special days and
love activities
“There is a time for

everything, and a season for
every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time
to die, a time to plant and a
time to uproot.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1,2
Time with my child is

of inestimable value!
Since time is the stuff life

is made of, giving my time
is the gift of my life!
The way a child spells
“love” is “t-i-m-e”!
For a single parent, giving
time is difficult, but it is
necessary.
Having fun together,
enables bonding forever.
“And these words … shall

be in your heart, and you
shall teach them diligently
to your children.”
Deuteronomy 6:6,7
FAMILY ALTAR
Every morning and

evening, we need to
read them the Bible
story, and teach
them to pray,
enabling them to
develop a love
relationship with
God .
Fanny J. Crosby became blind

from infancy. Her mother had
faith in her, and inspired her to
have faith in herself and in God.
As a result, this blind lady
penned more than 6,000 hymns
which we, who see, can sing!
Just as those two parents stood

in court before the king of Israel,
so, one day, every parent will
stand in court before the King of
heaven!
“For we must all appear before

the judgment seat of Christ, that
everyone may receive the things
done in his body, according to
what he has done, whether good
or bad.”
2 Corinthians 5:10
There is a special
Bible prophecy which
gives us the date of
God’s Pre-Advent
judgment.
“And he said to me, ‘For

two thousand three
hundred days; then the
sanctuary shall be
cleansed’.”
Daniel 8:14
According to Daniel
chapter 9, this time
prophecy started in
457 BC and ended in
1844.
The Sanctuary to be cleansed in

1844 was:
 Not Moses’ tabernacle.
That was replaced by the temple.
 Not Solomon’s temple.
That was demolished in 586 BC.
 Not Herod’s temple.
That was destroyed in AD 70.
 Not an earthly sanctuary.
It was Christ’s heavenly sanctuary! See
Hebrews 8:1,2
The Daily
Service
The repentant sinner
brought a lamb and
killed it in the court.
The priest took the
animal’s blood into
Holy Place.
In type, sins were
transferred from sinner,
to lamb, to sanctuary.
Leviticus 4:32-34
Day of Atonement
A day of solemnity:
fasting and confession.
(Lev. 23:27)
A day of cleansing:
repentant sinners were
forever forgiven. (Lev.
16:30)
A day of judgment:
unrepentant sinners were
“cut of”.
(Lev. 23:29)
In 1844, a similar process

started in the heavenly
sanctuary!

“I beheld till the thrones were

cast down, and the Ancient of
days did sit, whose garment was
white as snow, and the hair of His
head like pure wool; His throne
was like the fiery flame, and His
wheels as burning fire.
“A fiery stream issued and came forth

from before Him. Thousand of
thousands ministered unto Him, and
ten thousand times ten thousand stood
before Him.
The Judgment was set, and the

books were opened.”
Daniel 7:9,10
At this very hour,
heaven’s court is in
session!
God the Ancient of
Days sits as Judge.
Angels are the
witnesses.
People are not
present, divine
records have the
evidence.
Earthly courts are governed by law. So

is the Heavenly Court!
“For He who said, ‘Do not commit
adultery’, also said, ‘Do not murder’...
So speak and so do as those who will be

judged by the law of liberty”.
James 2:11,12
The Prosecutor
is Satan!
He is “the accuser of
our brethren”.
Rev. 12:9,10
If I serve him, my
case is lost!
The verdict is
“Guilty”.
My sentence is eternal
death.
“The wages of sin is
death.” Rom 6:23
My Lawyer is
When I surrender my
life to Him, He becomes
my Advocate, my
Mediator, my Lawyer. Jesus!
Lifting His nail-pierced
hands, He cries, “This
sinner is guilty. But I’ve
paid the penalty! My
blood! My blood!”
Christ is not pleading

with an angry God.
He’s refuting an angry
devil!
The judgment is set,
The books have been
opened;
How shall we stand In
that great day?
How shall we stand

In that great day?
Shall we be found
Before Him wanting?
Or with our sins
All washed away?
1Kings 3:23-27
tells us that his proposal was to
divide the living child and give
half to each woman. Then,
listening to the response of
each mother, he discovered who
was the rightful parent!
“And behold, I am
coming quickly, and
My reward is with Me,
to give to every one
according to his work.”
Revelation 22:12
God, our Heavenly Parent,

with His open arms of love,
will say to you and me,
“Welcome home, children!”
