A Command for Children (Ephesians 6:1-3)


Today's scripture: Ephesians 6:1-3

I'm going to be "short and sweet" this morning ... mainly because I'm certainly not an expert on today's topic. God didn’t bless my husband and me with children, and He’s given me incredible peace about remaining childless. And I have to be honest … sometimes I’m a bit relieved I’m not raising a teenager these days.

It seems like many young people today aren’t familiar with this commandment to obey and honor parents. I see disrespect, disobedience, and outright rebellion—even in those who have been raised in Christian homes.

I pray regularly for teens and their parents. I pray they’ll grow strong in faith. That they’ll dwell on things that are pure and true (Philippians 4:8). That they’ll seek God’s will in all things.

And I pray that they will obey and honor their parents.
