Mom and Pop Do Their Home-Work

1. Gifting the Faith at Home by Speaking Up: “Our children will also serve Him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything He has done.” (Ps. 22:30-31). As soon as wife and husband become mom and pop, God gives them a homework assignment… Speak up with the children about faith in Him. Even if a parent is on the shy side, a bit of an introvert, and has a low daily quota of spoken words, the assignment remains. You have been given an extraordinary privilege, says the Lord, and that is to pass the faith on to your children, and encourage their trust in Me to continue on forever, from one generation to the next. You don’t need a personality transplant to simply refer to me every day as life’s reference point. You don’t need to browbeat children about Me, or force-feed Scripture down their throats, He says. I basically want the Lord to be a household name, a natural point of discussion. I want your children to recognize Me as the one and only true God, and become familiar with Me enough to love me with all they got… heart, soul, mind and strength.

2. Gifting the Faith at Home by Training Up: “Train up a child according to his unique way, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6). No, No, No… this well-known passage does not give permission for a parent to act like a drill sergeant to train his soldiers, or to adopt the persona of a dog owner to train Fido, or to swagger like a cowboy who trains his horse, or even to be a hard-nosed coach who is training an Olympic athlete. This short proverb is not for the parent who “trains up” his children by controlling them, or by being domineering, or by keeping his children under wraps at all costs. The Hebrew word for training up is “chanakh,” and literally means “to put something in the mouth.” This confusing word is taken from the Jewish practice of dipping the finger in some sweet date juice and rubbing that juice on the gums of a newborn baby in order to stimulate the baby’s sucking reflex. The intent is to initiate breastfeeding and inspire the baby to develop the ability to get the nourishment he needs so desperately. This was the ancient middle eastern way of saying… You can take a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink, but on the other hand you can make him thirsty. Interestingly, though, chanakh was also used in the Hebrew Bible in the context of dedicating a new home and the new Temple (Deuteronomy 20:5 and 1 Kings 8:63). To chanakh a house or Temple was to dedicate that important structure, to set it apart for God’s purposes, to hand it over to God’s ownership. To chanakh was to consecrate something so it starts in the right direction. So to chanakh a child would be to nurture and direct him so that he goes in the right direction; to point a child to a God-honoring path; to guide a child in the best direction for him; to launch a child into his life by carefully shaping his heart and mind to choose the right direction for his life; to hand over the child’s ownership to God; to set a child apart for special purposes; to initiate a child’s development by inspiring him to learn and grow in the right way; to do whatever it takes to offer proper guidance for a child, whether establishing boundaries, developing a healthy relationship, providing a helpful example, holding the child accountable, inspiring the child to work hard, and to teaching with a kind-hearted firmness. A personal trainer in the chanakh tradition might have to occasionally crack the whip like a lion -tamer, but the process is much more like fanning the flame of a sacred candle. “The way he should go” means to train a child in the way that is particularly appropriate for that child; to guide a child in a way that takes into consideration his temperament and personality, his capacity and abilities, his natural gifts and tendencies, his unique inclinations and idiosyncrasies. We all know, don’t we, that it’s not how smart a child is, but how that child is smart. The teaching is centered on what will be motivating for that child. The training is based on an understanding of who the child is, how he was created by God. To train up a child is to understand a child’s first nature and use that wisely so that it becomes second nature. As the Jewish philosopher and educator Martin Buber once said, “The greatest thing any person can do for another is to confirm the deepest thing in him or her – to take the time and have the discernment to see what is most deeply there inside, most fully that person, and then confirm it by recognizing and encouraging it.”

3. Gifting the Faith at Home by Standing Up: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For this struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm, then…” (Ephesians 6:10-20). The three Greek words that are all translated “stand firm” all mean pretty much the same thing: to be immoveable; to stand against someone or something; to fix oneself firmly; to set one’s face resolutely in a certain direction; to hold one’s ground with determination; to maintain one’s position; to withstand compromise; to refuse to change; to be steadfast in one’s resistance; to hold fast without giving in; to be strong and steady in what is important. The reader of Scripture is told to stand firm well over twenty times. When a country declares war, the citizens don’t have much choice… the citizens are called to go into battle if one wants to remain a citizen. When someone starts following Jesus, that believer becomes a citizen of God’s kingdom. In our fallen world, the kingdom of Satan has declared war on the kingdom of God, so warfare comes with the territory. The same holds true when one becomes a parent. The Christian home is a spiritual battleground for the souls of the children, and the faithful parent needs to stand up, stand firm, put on the armor, and be a warrior for the children. Only, Satan’s fighters in this spiritual battle don’t have bodies, they are invisible. These fighters of Satan are headquartered in the heavenlies where Satan has his hideout, and conduct constant warfare on Christian believers here on earth. So our war is not against flesh and blood, it is fought with spiritual weapons in the unseen world. God has given us all the supernatural weaponry we need, which includes the armor of God… the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the footwear of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation.  Most of the armor is protective equipment, but two are aggressively offensive in nature: the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) and the prayers of the faithful. These two spiritual weapons are empowered by the Holy Spirit and are divinely effective in the unseen battle. If ever there was a time to wisely handle the Word of Truth, if there was ever a time be a prayer warrior, this is it. The parent who wants to gift the Faith to the children at home stand ready to rumble, wearing the armor, wielding the Word, kneeling in prayer.

4. Gifting the Faith at Home by Looking Up. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13). Looking Up with Hope. The great love chapter in Scripture, 1 Corinthians 13, ends with the mentioning of the three great virtues in life: Faith, Hope and Love. Those are the Big Three. And the one that always gets lost in the shuffle is the one in the middle: Hope. It is the forgotten virtue, maybe because the two virtues flanking it on either side are so monumental. Hope is often seen as the little virtue in the middle between those two giants, Faith and Love. But we must do our best to remember hope. It is important we do it justice. For if there is one quality that will propel you forward in your marriage and family, it is constantly looking up with hope. It is what enables the faithful parent to keep going and growing in raising the children Hope is the parent’s faith in the future under God. It gives the parent something substantial to look forward to. Hope is when a parent eagerly anticipates that family life has purpose together, that home life has meaning that extends beyond the daily grind. So one wonders if, in order to keep faith alive, and to keep love alive, that perhaps it’s crucial that a parent keeps his/her hope alive. Yes, parents might be asking themselves… Does hope have any practical use? Isn’t hope a bit too abstract to be useful when raising children? Let’s do a deep dive into the meaning and importance of hope… The Hebrew word in Scripture for hope, “tikvah,” has as its root word “qavah” which means to wait. Thus in Scripture we find that occasionally the words hope and wait are somewhat interchangeable. “Hope moves the heart of God to come to our help with His grace.” (Father R. Cantalamessa). Various descriptions of hope might include: Hope is confidently expecting a positive outcome, as opposed to despair, which is fearfully expecting a negative outcome; hope is trusting God for one’s future, as opposed to doubt, which distrustful of God for one’s future; hope is an optimistic assurance based on reality, as opposed to wishful thinking, which is based on uncertainty; hope is a patient waiting that keeps one actively moving forward, as opposed to a frustrating resignation which passively keeps one stuck; hope is the strong inner urge to work through a difficulty and do what one can to solve it, as opposed to the inclination to avoid a difficulty and thus not solve anything; hope is the positive conviction that there is something substantial to look forward to, as opposed to one’s pessimistic belief that the future holds nothing but a bleak emptiness; hope is the anticipation of a triumphant future in the long run, as opposed to someone who doesn’t even believe in the possibility of a long run of any kind. As the ancient Church Father put it, “Hope is the loving movement of one’s spirit towards that which it hopes for.” (St. Didacus).

5. Gifting the Faith at Home by Dreaming Up. “O God, I did not ask for success; I asked for wonder. And You gave it to me… Life without wonder – radical amazement – is not worth living. It is the beginning of our happiness. Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement… get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible. Never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.” (Abraham Joshua Heschel). Dreaming Up is a fanciful term for when the intellect is at play; to creatively cook up something in your mind; to develop ideas that are not rooted in the physical senses; to mentally form a picture of something not tangibly present; to see something in your mind’s eye; to make creative connections with other people through empathy; to make sense of a story or work of art or a piece of literature; to believe in some ideas that seem true; to mentally explore a mystery. In other words, to use one’s imagination. Some Questions for the Parents: How else can a child develop a faith that is “certain of what we don’t see” without an active imagination, or “realize things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen,“ or understand that “what is seen was not made out of what was visible?” (Hebrews 11:1-3). How else can a child learn to trust in a non-sensory world, to “fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18). Without an imagination, how could the faithful be expected to trust in the invisible, or believe that the unseen is more real than the seen? How else could we ask a child to trust and rely on the invisible reality of God! How could a child lean into the unseen arms of the Lord, and trust in His spiritual presence, without a vivid imagination? How else could a child learn to take God at His Word, sight unseen? Since our eventual destiny, our heavenly future in the New Kingdom is in the unseen world, how could any child with faith be convinced of the reality of that destiny?  How can a child even begin to understand the parables and gospel stories of Jesus without a vivid imagination? How can a child connect with the descriptive metaphors that Jesus used so often…. The Bread of Life, the Good Shepherd, the Light of the World, the Way and the Truth and the Life, the True Vine, the Gate, the Resurrection and the Life, the Alpha and the Omega… without an imagination? How else can a child learn to stand in awe and wonder when thinking about God, or stand in amazement at what Jesus accomplished? How else can a child begin to appreciate the profound depth of God’s mysteries that are beyond comprehension?  How can we recognize God’s invisible presence in this world, or follow his unseen path, without a vivid, sharpened imagination? In many ways, is not faithlessness a failure of the imagination? So what is Job # One in helping to develop faith in children? Feed the child’s imagination, inspire it, strengthen it, give the child permission to freely exercise it all the time in the home.

6. Gifting the Faith at Home by Loving Up: “Our love must not be just words or mere talk, but something active and genuine. This will be the proof that we belong to the truth.” (1 John 3:18-19).  “In Christ Jesus, the most important aspect is faith expressing itself in love… In Christ Jesus, the only thing that really counts is faithful trust as brought to perfection through agape love.’ (Galatians 5:6). The Bottom Line: Parents Who Are Consistently Loving Up Their Children. As we think about cultivating a Christ-centered culture in the home, and passing the Faith on to the children, consider the central importance of agape love. The spirit of agape is in the very atmosphere of a Christian home. In fact, a Christian home is defined by the pervasive presence of this spiritual quality, the parents’ ability to flesh out for their children the very love of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. If parents want to be an example of the kind of mother and father they want their children to be when they grow up and have a family, then agape love is the way to go. In Paul’s phrase “fruit of the Spirit” in Galatians 5, the word for fruit is singular. The passage does not say “fruits.” One fruit, one product, one result of the Holy Spirit’s effect on our life. It’s as if there is one cluster of grapes, the cluster of love, the first fruit on the list. And every delicious grape in that cluster points to aspects of that love. Another way of thinking of it is that Love is indeed the one, singular, unifying fruit of the Spirit, and the list of virtues following are all aspects of Love. Just like aspects of a fruit might be aroma, taste, color, shape, size, texture, nutrition, ripeness. Just as those are qualities of a fruit, the list of virtues are qualities of Love. The fruit is love, and the elements of love are mentioned in that passage: loving–joy, loving-peace, loving-patience, loving-kindness, loving-goodness, loving-faithfulness, loving-gentleness and loving self-control. Those are the products of the Spirit’s work in the garden of our heart. Those qualities are what love looks like, the outworking of love. Love is this cluster of virtues produced by the Holy Spirit in believers as they abide on the nourishing vine of Jesus. That is the only way to stay fruitful in the Christian life, the only way to grow in the fruit of the Spirit. Paul says much the same thing in Colossians 3:12-14, when, after listing much the same in terms of character qualities, he says, “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” (NIV).

7. Gifting the Faith to Children by ‘Fessing Up’. “Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another, and then pray for one another to be instantly restored, for tremendous power is released through the passionate heartfelt prayer of a godly believer… Confess to one another therefore your faults, your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins…”(James 5:16, TPT and Amplified). What can be more humbling than parenthood? There is no universal manual on how to be the perfect parent, no fool-proof formulas, no secret recipes, no unanimous steps to success in the home. But there we are with our own flesh and blood and wondering sometimes what to do next. Since every child is different, any parent lives with a sense of making it up as you go along. So humility is the order of the day, every day. The attitude of the responsible parent is to, among other things, do your Christian best to learn on the job; try to listen to and understand each child; get in the habit of establishing both quality and quantity time with each child; make sure each child knows that s/he is higher priority in your life than work or hobby or recreation; when a mistake is made with a child, apologize and learn from it; when a wrong is committed with a child, confess it and promise to never repeat it; put a child’s welfare above your own; realize that the bottom line of parenthood is to practice agape, unconditional love with God’s help at all times. Being a parent is basically an impossible job to do perfectly, so, as in the Christian walk and in marriage, humility and self-sacrifice practically goes without saying. “With humility comes wisdom.” (Proverbs 11:2). Genuine humility is necessary in parenthood. “O God, what have you done? You have made one who is ignorant a teacher, one who is blind a leader, one who errs a guide.” Anselm’s words of humility are striking, especially when you consider these lowly words were his own, prayed at his appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1093. But there it is… Teaching, parenting and discipling children are impossible without humility. Humility means that we accept our weakness and ignorance as the necessary preludes to strength and understanding. We embrace the idea that we “are only on the borders of God’s ways,” as Job puts it. We are not in the center of the universe. The more we know, the more we realize what we don’t know. Humble people tend to be grounded and realistic, the root word for humble being “humus”, earth, soil, dirt. The parent who wants to keep learning how to be a parent is humble enough to admit dependence on God, submit to His wisdom, and surrender to His adequacy. It’s just fine for a parent to admit wrongdoing, to apologize, to reveal a humble weakness. It’s okay for parents to reveal to the children that they are human. In fact, our weakness turns out to be our biggest advantage. Our understandable human weakness is actually a wonderful gift, because without it, God would not be able to have His entrance into our inadequacy and wield His victorious strength and power.

8. Gifting the Faith at Home by Thinking Up: “Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things – fix your minds on them.” (Philippians 4:8, Amplified version). Parents who are clever and resourceful entrepreneurs who keep thinking up effective ways of helping their children to grow in learning the Faith and developing a lifestyle of following Jesus with the child’s whole miracle of the mind. Jesus Christ co-designed the human mind, the mysterious seat of consciousness of each person, and the pinnacle of creation. The brain’s unlimited complexity means there is no “brain expert.” The more we know about the brain, the more we discover we don’t know. We do know it is a muscle that weighs about three pounds, and has 100 billion neurons branching out to more than 100 trillion synapse points. We know that the brain has over 100,000 miles of blood vessels. The mind needs to be constantly strengthened in its development, and can actually change by our behavior and how we decide to use it. The brain is “plastic” in that way. Jesus highlighted the importance of using the human mind when He told His followers to love God with all their mind (Matthew 22:37, Luke 10:27). And there we have one of the basic tasks of a Christ-centered home: to cultivate all the facets of the child’s mind in order to love God and belong to His truth. One way to think about the human mind is to consider the idea that it has three main areas: the intellect, the conscience, and the imagination. This is the secret of how a child can live into the three eternal qualities in human life: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. So when children start to learn from the parents (from Day One), parents will need to engage in the full-time job of being aware of the child’s intellect, conscience and imagination, and how they can be helping their children grow, whether by inspiring or stimulating or stretching or strengthening. To some extent, these three facets are in all human minds, no matter the age. So the savvy parent is aware of how to approach each facet in an age-appropriate way. These three facets of the mind are all bundled together and interconnected within one brain. So there is overlap in how all three operate and interact. To characterize the profound complexity of the human mind with three simple facets is totally inadequate, but it’s probably a good place to start as we think about the parent as pastor and teacher.

9. Gifting the Faith at Home by Waiting Up: “So the prodigal son set off for home. Because his father was patiently waiting for him, he saw the son coming down the road from a long distance away. The father was deeply moved with compassion for his son, deep down in the pit of his stomach. The father’s heart was overflowing with love for him, this rebellious son who was finally returning home. So the father raced out to meet him. He swept his son up in his arms, hugged him dearly, and covered him with kisses.” (Luke 15:20). Waiting Up for the Prodigals. Sometimes, many times, the parents seem to be earnestly doing their best at raising their child wisely and lovingly, and yet a mystery develops at home. Maybe it’s genetics, and the child just seems to be born stubborn, fiercely independent, resistant, or rebellious; maybe it’s the unpredictable interchange between a child’s personality, inherent weaknesses, and the cultural pressures; maybe it’s the harmful examples the child has seen outside the home in the Christian context, whether churches or youth groups; perhaps it’s the undue influence of harmful friends; maybe it’s just not the right time for such a major decision in that child’s life, as if a parent is offering a Christmas present in the middle of July; perhaps the strong possibility of spiritual warfare is also an element here; maybe it’s simple fallen free will that all humans share. Whatever it might be, when a good (and of course imperfect) parent has a prodigal child, there comes the time when all a parent can do is lovingly be available, pray with hopefulness, and watchfully wait up like the father of the prodigal son, the father who is Christ’s picture of our Father God, the Ultimate Waiting Father. If an apparent Father-of-the-Year like that somehow produces a son like the prodigal, it can happen to any parent. Actually, aren’t we all prodigals who went to the far country, and who have our Father waiting for all of us on the road back home? “Kids Under Construction.” There was a popular theme in VBS about forty years ago, and it centered on each child being a work in progress, an unfinished product. That idea is true regardless of the age of the child, even into adulthood. Children of all ages required patience because God isn’t finished with them yet. All of us parents need to remember what the artist Andrew Wyeth once said, “The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.” In the case of each of our children, the Artist is Creator God, and it isn’t wise to reach conclusions in judging children while they’re still in the middle of their journey. In order to become a waiting father or mother, the parent needs steadfast Faith in order to trust in God’s eventual redemptive purposes for the prodigal. Each parent needs a confident Hope that envisions what the finished product will look like. Each parent needs unconditional Love that motivates a parent to watch, wait, and welcome the child’s return home.

10. Gifting the Faith at Home by Growing Up: “Certainly you can see, can’t you, that children are God’s best gift, that they are an inheritance that is both a gift and a responsibility? That the fruit of the womb is a reward to you from the Lord Himself? (Psalm 127:3). Good Parents Are Always Growing Up. Children are God’s supreme gift to the spouses in a marriage, and when that heavenly truth is not whole-heartedly accepted by the parents, then the parents are stuck with arrested development. It’s very difficult for immature parents to produce mature kids. To grow up means to grow in sacrificing one’s individual desires and ambitions and comforts for the sake of the family. To grow up is to embrace the responsibilities that come with being given such an unspeakable gift. To grow up is to recognize that God’s flesh and blood gifts at home have become a parent’s first calling in life, their primary vocation. To grow up is accept that one’s job and career have automatically been demoted to second priority the very day that sacred newborn was conceived in the mother’s womb. To grow up is to realize that there is nothing as deeply satisfying or profoundly fulfilling as raising a family. To grow up is for parents to pick up their cross of life-giving unselfishness daily, and carry it through each room in the house in order to love and nurture these divine gifts called children. And then, of all things, God designed  parenthood to get hit with the whole challenge of a child’s adolescence! Just when the parents are thinking they’ve got this parent thing down, it’s back to the  drawing board to try to figure it all out again at a different level. What happens if a parent refuses to keep learning how to responsibly nurture and sacrifice for their children at all their stages of development? When parenthood is not understood as a privilege designed by Creator God, and the children are not welcomed into the lives of the parents as sacred gifts?

11. Gifting the Faith at Home by Counting Up: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. My cup overflows. From the fullness of Jesus we have received gift after gift, grace upon grace, one gracious blessing after another. So give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (Ps. 103:1-2; Ephesians 1:3; Ps. 23:6; John 1:16; 1 Thess. 5:18). “… And forget not all His benefits”: The Hebrew word for “benefits” means blessings; acts of good will; deeds of kindness; divine favors; God’s graces; demonstrations of bountiful mercies. Counting up all your blessings from God is crucial in one’s faith and in one’s family life. Be thankful for your children as one of the vital, life-giving benefits a parent receives from Creator God. Children are acts of good will from a loving Lord, they represent divine deeds of kindness and mercy, they are living gestures of undeserved favor from the Lord that are unspeakable treasures. Children are a gift, even when they’re a royal pain. Even in a world that so often considers children to be some kind of curse, parents, continue stubbornly in the truth that children are a profound blessing… When they wake you up in the middle of the night for the hundredth time; when they keep you up at night as you wait for them to walk through the door; when they’ve just soiled their diapers for the tenth time that day; when they are rebellious or unreasonable for no apparent reason; when they don’t reflect the moral values you earnestly attempted to instill; when they refuse to eat the food you nicely prepared for them; when they publicly humiliate you with their antics; when they push away rather than hug up; when they resist toilet training; when they disappoint you with their decisions and choices; when they reject what you hold dear. Yes, sometimes the children are gifts in disguise, but they are still a God-given gift of grace to you. A parent’s love is unconditional, which means kids are considered a gift whether or not they are acting like one. There are moments when a parent accepts the children as gifts on faith, trusting in the unseen. “So be thankful in all circumstances, for that is God’s will for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Counting Up Our Blessings. How can parents expect their children to be thankful people if the parent doesn’t model it for them? How can parents expect their children to grow in developing a grateful heart if they never see it demonstrated at home? Parents are thankful for countless blessings… For being given the profound privilege of being responsible to guiding and nurture a fellow human being made in God’s image; for the inestimable gift of a child’s mere existence; for a flesh and blood fruit of the womb that is chock-full of family genes and characteristics; for being given the awesome responsibility of providing a “goodly heritage” for their children that can be continued for generations; for being granted the God-given challenge of growing up to a higher level of maturity than one would have reached had not being given children; for being given new and unpredictable ways to acknowledge dependence upon God’s grace; for the opportunity to learn how to forget yourself for the sake of someone else who you love. When parents count up their considerable blessings within the earshot of the children, they are essentially announcing to them God’s acts of grace, and the children will soak into their spirit the fact that they themselves are a big part of God’s  blessings to the parents.

“Certainly you can see, can’t you, that children are God’s best gift, that they are an inheritance that is both a gift and a responsibility? That the fruit of the womb is a reward to you from the Lord Himself? (Psalm 127:3).
