Parenting Quotes

Quotes About Parents

• Raising kids with strong character requires doing less FOR them and teaching them to do more for themselves.

==================

Parenting with Purpose (5-part Series)

Your Advantage When Times are Tough | MWM

https://youtu.be/0H77EUK6zFY

#Attitude Is The Difference Maker = This week, John Maxwell will share 5 important things to teach your children when parenting with purpose. Parenting with purpose is about leading your children correctly without overcorrecting them. The first focus is attitude. It is important to stress the importance of a good attitude with your children. People with good attitudes—who have a positive attitude during negative times—will do better in life. Life is tough! People who want to succeed should have an attitude of tenacity to overcome life’s difficulties!

#Responsible Kids Become Mature Adults | MWM

https://youtu.be/9JB4SrymChY

Take Ownership = The second way to parent with purpose is to teach responsibility. We all need to learn to take ownership of our mistakes or actions and not place blame on others. Instead of saying “sorry,” say “I’m sorry.” Teach your children to be responsible and take ownership. When we teach responsibility to our children, it leads to their development into mature adults. 

People Make Your Potential Possible | MWM

https://youtu.be/kr15IFmd29g

Connect With People = The third way to parent with purpose is to focus on relationships and the ability to get along with people. It is important to be good at connecting and relating to other people because the world is composed of people. This ability determines how much others like you and help you. Teach your children how to connect and relate with other people. Relationships are a key to success. 

The One Thing That Determines Everything Else | MWM

https://youtu.be/noPnWFQR7-w

Discover Your Strengths = You can parent with purpose by helping your child with their self-image. Self-image determines the friends someone hangs around with and even who they marry. The way a person sees others is influenced by how they see themselves. Having a low self-image can hold a person back because they can’t see themselves accomplishing a difficult, worthwhile goal. Help your kids see themselves well, and discover their own strengths. When they pursue those strengths to achieve and experience their own wins, it will build up their self-image.
#Self-image

Train Them Up in the Way They Should Go | MWM

Be God-Centered = You can parent with purpose by teaching your children faith. Show your children how to have a good relationship with God and to know and communicate with Him. As parents we have to be an example of this. Share with your children what God is doing in your life and how he leads you. Be God centered so that your children can see that every good and perfect gift comes from God.

A Key To Success = The third way to parent with purpose is to focus on #relationships and the ability to get along with people. It is important to be good at connecting and relating to other people because the world is composed of people. This ability determines how much others like you and help you.

Pursue Strengths And Win = The fourth way to parent with purpose is to help your children with their self-image. Self-image determines the friends someone hangs around with and even who they marry. The way a person sees others is influenced by how they see themselves. Having a low self-image can hold a person back because they can’t see themselves accomplishing a difficult, worthwhile goal. Help your kids see themselves well, and discover their own strengths. When they pursue those strengths to achieve and experience their own wins, it will build up their self-image.

Be God-Centered = The fifth way to parent with purpose is to teach your children faith. Show your children how to have a good relationship with God and to know and communicate with Him.  As parents, we have to be an example of this. Share with your children what God is doing in your life and how he leads you. Be God-centered so that your children can see that every good and perfect gift comes from God.

The Power of Taking Responsibility | MWM

https://youtu.be/UaGSFIjKFlk

Own Your Actions = The second way to parent with purpose is to teach responsibility. We all need to learn to take ownership of our mistakes or actions and not place blame on others. Instead of saying “sorry,” say “I’m sorry.” Teach your children to be responsible and take ownership. When we teach responsibility to our children, it leads to their development into mature adults. 

==================

https://youtu.be/nl0vhcpCT8k

Attitude Is The Difference Maker = By parenting with a purpose, you can be the parent that looks at your children and asks how to invest in them correctly without overcorrecting them and majoring on the minor things in life. Focusing on attitude. A good attitude leads to a better life. It is important to have a positive attitude during difficult times. If you are going to succeed in life, you need to have the attitude of tenacity to overcome the difficulties that everyone experiences. Attitude is the difference maker.

https://youtu.be/Jj1PRp8_xrw

Always Take Responsibility = It is important for all people to have a sense of responsibility or to take ownership of their life. You will never do well in life until you take responsibility for your life—for your choices, for who you are, for what you do, for your actions. Take responsibility for the things that happen to you.

https://youtu.be/kBBEqjTwdwM

Connect, Be Relatable = The ability to get along with people and relate to them is a key part in being successful. By learning to connect with people and relate with people your life will be able to reach its full potential. The world is full of people—the way you connect to them will determine how well they like you, and how much they are willing to help you. Connect, and be relatable.

https://youtu.be/Bbxo5IVOqDQ

Your Self-Image Determines Your Behavior = You need to allow yourself to see yourself well. If you see yourself as a 5 out 10, then who you surround yourself with will also be in that category, and you won't go after the 8's, 9's, and 10's. Your self-image determines who you are around, even who you marry. Your behavior is not based on how you see other people, how you see a job, or how you see others—it's entirely based on how you see yourself. 

https://youtu.be/Z84cuvW3UV4

Have Faith = It is important for us to have a good relationship with God and to know Him, to be able to communicate with Him, and have a sense of Him working and living in our lives. We have to be that example. He is the source. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him.

Religion Quotes

Quotes About Religion 

• Daniel Webster    ---  If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be; If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy, If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end. (Earliest source, for a small part of this, is Essays, moral and religious, by Edward Thomson and Davis Wasgatt Clark, 1856, p. 213; the earliest version of the full wording appears to be in A dictionary of thoughts: being a cyclopedia of laconic quotations, 1891, p. 49).
  
• May every citizen ... have a proper sense of the Deity upon his mind and an impression of the declaration recorded in the Bible, 'Him that honoreth Me I will honor, but he that despiseth Me shall be lightly esteemed.' --Samuel Adams
• Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are. --William Barclay, Scottish Theologian (1907-1978)
  
• The belief in a God All Powerful wise and good, is so essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man, that arguments which enforce it cannot be drawn from too many sources nor adapted with too much solicitude to the different characters and capacities impressed with it. --James Madison
  
• The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God. --John Adams
  
• The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among parchments and musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the Hand of Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power. --Alexander Hamilton
  
• This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins. --Benjamin Franklin
  
• While we are zealously performing the duties of good Citizens and soldiers we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of Religion. To the distinguished Character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to add the more distinguished Character of Christian. --George Washington
• Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. --George Washington
• When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that's my religion. --Abraham Lincoln

Religion

RELIGION, n. relij'on. [L. religio, from religo, to bind anew; re and ligo, to bind. This word seems originally to have signified an oath or vow to the gods, or the obligation of such an oath or vow, which was held very sacred by the Romans.]

1. Religion, in its most comprehensive sense, includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey his commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man's accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties. It therefore comprehends theology, as a system of doctrines or principles, as well as practical piety; for the practice of moral duties without a belief in a divine lawgiver, and without reference to his will or commands, is not religion.

2. Religion, as distinct from theology, is godliness or real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men, in obedience to divine command, or from love to God and his law. James 1.

3. Religion, as distinct from virtue, or morality, consists in the performance of the duties we owe directly to God, from a principle of obedience to his will. Hence we often speak of religion and virtue, as different branches of one system, or the duties of the first and second tables of the law.

Let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion.

4. Any system of faith and worship. In this sense, religion comprehends the belief and worship of pagans and Mohammedans, as well as of christians; any religion consisting in the belief of a superior power or powers governing the world, and in the worship of such power or powers. Thus we speak of the religion of the Turks, of the Hindoos, of the Indians, &c. as well as of the christian religion. We speak of false religion, as well as of true religion.

5. The rites of religion; in the plural.

Do you have faith in the future? Take a look at your journey, are you currently stuck in your "comfort zone" or are you living in the "faith zone?" Do yourself a favor, join the faith zone! As John says, things can happen that would have never happened if you didn't change the zone you were living in.

Be God-Centered = You can parent with purpose by teaching your children faith. Show your children how to have a good relationship with God and to know and communicate with Him. As parents we have to be an example of this. Share with your children what God is doing in your life and how he leads you. Be God centered so that your children can see that every good and perfect gift comes from God.

You wake up and have a choice, you are either going to fear the day ahead or you are going to have faith that it will be a great day. How the day goes is determined by what emotions you embrace. So ignore the negativity and instead, feed your faith!

Scriptures

James 2:14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?

Galatians 3:9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.

Hebrews 11:3 (MSG) By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see.

Matthew 17:20 (MSG) “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.”

James 2:18 (MSG) I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.” Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove.

Luke 17:6 (MSG) But the Master said, “You don’t need more faith. There is no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, ‘Go jump in the lake,’ and it would do it.

2 Corinthians 1:24 (MSG) We’re not in charge of how you live out the faith, looking over your shoulders, suspiciously critical. We’re partners, working alongside you, joyfully expectant. I know that you stand by your own faith, not by ours.

Luke 17:5 (MSG) The apostles came up and said to the Master, “Give us more faith.”

Galatians 3:12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”
Hebrews 11:1-2 NLT Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.

Hebrews 11:6 ESV And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Hebrews 11 Faith in Action Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ...
