Dia dos pais
O Dia dos Pais celebra o amor e o sacrifício paterno. A Bíblia honra os pais como provedores, protetores e guias espirituais que moldam as próximas gerações.
O pai que educa
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar. O pai justo educa com amor, firmeza e o exemplo de uma vida íntegra.
Teach your children
right from wrong,
and when they are grown
they will still do right.
If you love your children,
you will correct them;
if you don’t love them,
you won’t correct them.
Good people live right,
and God blesses the children
who follow their example.
Make your father truly happy
by living right and showing
sound judgment.
If you respect the Lord,
you and your children
have a strong fortress
Honra e alegria
Honra a teu pai e tua mãe. Os filhos são herança do Senhor, e a família que serve a Deus junta é inabalável.
Respect your father and your mother, and you will live a long time in the land I am giving you.
Children are a blessing
and a gift from the Lord.
Having a lot of children
to take care of you
in your old age
is like a warrior
with a lot of arrows.
The more you have,
the better off you will be,
because they will protect you
when your enemies
attack you in court.
But if you don’t want to worship the Lord, then choose here and now! Will you worship the same idols your ancestors did? Or since you’re living on land that once belonged to the Amorites, maybe you’ll worship their gods. I won’t. My family and I are going to worship and obey the Lord!
Personal Concerns and Greetings
Keep alert. Be firm in your faith. Stay brave and strong.
The younger son got up and started back to his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt sorry for him. He ran to his son and hugged and kissed him.
The son said, "Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son."
But his father said to the servants, "Hurry and bring the best clothes and put them on him. Give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. Get the best calf and prepare it, so we can eat and celebrate.
