Things I've Said to My Kids

Heb. 12:1-11 - 1Therefore, since we are surrounded

by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay

aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely,

and let us run with endurance the race that is set

before us, 2looking to Jesus, the founder and

perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set

before him endured the cross, despising the

shame, and is seated at the right hand of the

throne of God. 3Consider him who endured from

sinners such hostility against himself, so that you

may not grow weary or fainthearted.

Heb. 12:1-11 - 4In your struggle against sin you

have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your

blood. 5And have you forgotten the exhortation

that addresses you as sons? "My son, do not regard

lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary

when reproved by him. 6For the Lord disciplines

the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he

receives." 7It is for discipline that you have to

endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is

there whom his father does not discipline?

Heb. 12:1-11 - 8If you are left without discipline, in

which all have participated, then you are

illegitimate children and not sons. 9Besides this, we

have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we

respected them. Shall we not much more be

subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10For they

disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to

them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we

may share his holiness. 11For the moment all

discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but

later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to

those who have been trained by it.

Rom. 8:12-17

Thi gs I’ve Said To My Kids

Rom. 8:12-17 - 12So then, brothers, we are debtors,

not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For

if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if

by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the

body, you will live. 14For all who are led by the

Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not

receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,

but you have received the Spirit of adoption as

sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" 16The Spirit

himself bears witness with our spirit that we are

children of God,

Rom. 8:12-17 - 17and if children, then heirs—heirs

of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we

suffer with him in order that we may also be

glorified with him.


• Just e ause it’s there does ’t ea you have to touch it.

1 John 2:15-17 - 15Do not love the world or the

things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the

love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in

the world— the desires of the flesh and the desires

of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from

the Father but is from the world. 17And the world is

passing away along with its desires, but whoever

does the will of God abides forever.

Jas. 1:13-15 - 13Let no one say when he is tempted,

"I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be

tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14But each person is tempted when he is lured and

enticed by his own desire. 15Then desire when it

has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is

fully grown brings forth death.

John 17:14-16 - 14I have given them your word, and

the world has hated them because they are not of

the world, just as I am not of the world. 15I do not

ask that you take them out of the world, but that

you keep them from the evil one. 16They are not of

the world, just as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify

them in the truth; your word is truth.

• Stop playing with your food!

Heb. 5:12-14 - 12For though by this time you ought

to be teachers, you need someone to teach you

again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You

need milk, not solid food, 13for everyone who lives

on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness,

since he is a child. 14But solid food is for the

mature, for those who have their powers of

discernment trained by constant practice to

distinguish good from evil.

1 Cor. 14:20 - 20Brothers, do not be children in your

thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be

mature.

• Do ’t put your turkey a o o the toilet!

Jas. 1:27 - 27Religion that is pure and undefiled

before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and

widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself

unstained from the world.

2 Cor. 6:14-18 - 14Do not be unequally yoked with

unbelievers. For what partnership has

righteousness with lawlessness? Or what

fellowship has light with darkness? 15What accord

has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a

believer share with an unbeliever? 16What

agreement has the temple of God with idols? For

we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I

will make my dwelling among them and walk

among them, and I will be their God, and they shall

be my people.

2 Cor. 6:14-18 - 17Therefore go out from their

midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord,

and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome

you, 18and I will be a father to you, and you shall be

sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty."

• Stay with me!

Jas. 4:7-8 - 7Submit yourselves therefore to God.

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw

near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse

your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts,

you double-minded.

1 John 1:5-7 - 5This is the message we have heard

from him and proclaim to you, that God is light,

and in him is no darkness at all. 6If we say we have

fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we

lie and do not practice the truth. 7But if we walk in

the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship

with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son

cleanses us from all sin.

John 14:23 - 23Jesus answered him, "If anyone

loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will

love him, and we will come to him and make our

home with him.

• Because I said so.

Eccl. 12:13 - 13The end of the matter; all has been

heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for

this is the whole duty of man.

Phil. 2:14-16 - 14Do all things without grumbling or

questioning, 15that you may be blameless and

innocent, children of God without blemish in the

midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among

whom you shine as lights in the world, 16holding

fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I

may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in

vain.

1 John 5:3-4 - 3For this is the love of God, that we

keep his commandments. And his commandments

are not burdensome. 4For everyone who has been

born of God overcomes the world. And this is the

victory that has overcome the world— our faith.

• Did ’t I just lea you?

2 Pet. 2:20-22 - 20For if, after they have escaped

the defilements of the world through the

knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they

are again entangled in them and overcome, the last

state has become worse for them than the first. 21For it would have been better for them never to

have known the way of righteousness than after

knowing it to turn back from the holy

commandment delivered to them. 22What the true

proverb says has happened to them: "The dog

returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after

washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire."

1 John 1:8-9 - 8If we say we have no sin, we deceive

ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess

our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

• I love you.

John 1:11-13 - 11He came to his own, and his own

people did not receive him. 12But to all who did

receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the

right to become children of God, 13who were born,

not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the

will of man, but of God.

John 3:16-17 - 16"For God so loved the world, that

he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him

should not perish but have eternal life. 17For God

did not send his Son into the world to condemn the

world, but in order that the world might be saved

through him.

1 John 3:1-3 - 1See what kind of love the Father has

given to us, that we should be called children of

God; and so we are. The reason why the world

does not know us is that it did not know him. 2Belo ed, e are God’s hildre o , a d hat e will be has not yet appeared; but we know that

when he appears we shall be like him, because we

shall see him as he is. 3And everyone who thus

hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

Rom. 8:12-17


Gal. 3:26-29 - 26for in Christ Jesus you are all sons

of God, through faith. 27For as many of you as were

baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is

neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor

free, there is no male and female, for you are all

one in Christ Jesus. 29A d if you are Christ’s, the you are A raha ’s offspri g, heirs a ordi g to promise.
