Today's Scripture - Colossians 3:20

"You children, be obedient to [your] parents in everything, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord."  Colossians 3:20

The Living Bible says, "always obey your parents."  I use this scripture alot with my children.  It proves that God has role for them in the family arrangment, and its very simple.  Obey.  As parents, we can demonstrate to our children the benefits of obedience by being obedient to God's principles.  Reading the account of Eli of Israel, his sons were "good-for-nothing men" due to Eli's lack of teaching them proper obedience.  (1 Samual 2:12-17, 22-25, 34 & 35 and 4:14,18)
