Parent’s Corner- “For the Kids!” Series

Parent’s Corner began as a communication tool to inform parents what had been taught in Children’s Sunday school classes on a given Sunday morning, providing passages to read together and discussion questions to facilitate conversation between parents and their children during the week.  We have just finished Year 3 of our curriculum series.  The decision has been made to press “pause” in our Children’s ministry classes before beginning again with Year 1.  While we are paused, I will be changing the focus of Parent’s Corner from curriculum notes, to teachable moments. 

 “For the Kids!”

This collection of topical journal entries will focus on teachable moments that parents can have with their kids.  They will be grounded in Scripture, seasoned by stories and experiences, and distributed with love and prayers for many sweet times together as a family.  In an effort to be organized and purposeful, I’ll be choosing topics by going through the alphabet.  As I write this, please know that I don’t claim to have all of the answers.  Not at all!  What I do have is a genuine desire to have a teachable spirit, and a heart for the precious kiddos in our body. 

I is for Integrity

If a person has integrity, he or she is honest and sticks to his or her principles.  A person of integrity is the same person at home as he/she is at school as he/she is at church.  This person keeps his/her word and can be trusted. 

“The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.”  Proverbs 10:9

“They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity.  You aren’t swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.”  Mark 12:14a

Being truthful and honest are traits that God wants us to have.  Why is it important for people to trust you?

Have you ever been dishonest?  Read and Discuss Proverbs 10:9 as a family. 

Can people trust what you say?  Read Matthew 5:37.
