Pastor Ben Kingston shares these character traits so that we will know how everyone in the church can represent these qualities.

It should be every parent’s desire and goal to give an accurate picture of the love and character of Christ.

He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect.

I Timothy 3:4 NIV

1. Unpacking this verse: What is it not saying?
2. What was Paul talking about? The keyword is manage.
3. Points of action: Earn Respect, Ask Forgiveness, consult your wife/husband, consult the Scriptures, and set goals.
4. Determine your family’s love language and love them their way.
5. Obedience is a detail of love.
6. Train your children for their benefit. Not yours.
