About this Episode

We all have dreams for our children. But do you know that God has a dream for your child that is higher and even more amazing than yours? If that’s true, how do you cooperate with God to allow His highest and best purposes to become a reality in the life of your son or your daughter? Join Chip and find out how to develop your child’s full potential.

Introduction: God’s Dream for Your Child

  1. You must understand your child’s two primary needs are for SIGNIFICANCE and SECURITY.
  2. You must recognize your child’s primary responsibility is to learn OBEDIENCE.
  3. You must remember, obedience is a DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS.
  4. You must commit to providing the necessary RESOURCES for your child to learn obedience.
  5. Obedience is achieved when your child has TRANSFERRED his/her primary love, submission, and dependency from YOU to JESUS CHRIST.

Three characteristics of righteous children

  1. They make wise DECISIONS. -Philippians 1:9-11
  2. They keep their COMMITMENTS. -Proverbs 20:6
  3. They care genuinely for OTHERS. -John 15:13
