Educação das crianças
A educação cristã dos filhos é responsabilidade sagrada dos pais. A Bíblia ensina a instruir, disciplinar e modelar a fé desde a tenra idade, formando gerações que temem ao Senhor.
Instruir nos caminhos de Deus
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar. A educação bíblica molda o caráter e estabelece fundamentos para a vida.
Folly is attached to the heart of a child, but the rod and instruction are then far from him.
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and reject not the rules of thy mother. For thou shalt receive for thine head a crown of graces, and a chain of gold round thy neck.
The ways of her household are careful, and she eats not the bread of idleness.
And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul. And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength. And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul. And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
even the things that happened in the day in which ye stood before the Lord our God in Choreb in the day of the assembly; for the Lord said to me, Gather the people to me, and let them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days which they live upon the earth, and they shall teach their sons.
And ye shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and ye shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your eyes. And ye shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them when thou sittest in the house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou sleepest, and when thou risest up. And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses, and on your gates; that your days may be long, and the days of your children, upon the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
Disciplina e amor
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A disciplina é expressão de amor que protege e forma o caráter dos filhos.
Stripes and reproofs give wisdom: but an erring child disgraces his parents.
Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest; and he shall give honour to thy soul.
He that spares the rod hates his son: but he that loves, carefully chastens him.
Refrain not from chastening a child; for if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die. For thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from death.
Chasten thy son, for so he shall be hopeful; and be not exalted in thy soul to haughtiness.

A Psalm for Asaph.
O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; they have polluted thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits. They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of thy holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth. They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

How long, O Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon thy name. For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.
Let a snare which they know not come upon them: and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare. But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation. All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I knew not.
Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I knew not.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.

Os filhos são herança do Senhor. A educação cristã é investimento eterno que produz frutos em todas as gerações.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee.
For I will give water to the thirsty that walk in a dry land: I will put my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessings upon thy children:
The living shall bless thee, as I also do: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness,
And I will cause all thy sons to be taught of God, and thy children to be in great peace.
