To parent your Child

http://feedgrids.com/originals/images/uploads_post/image1.jpg

I’ve always wondered if parents carry any responsibility for how their children turn out in life. Well lately, there has been research done on parenting styles. Four basic parenting styles are identified: uninvolved, indulgent, authoritarian, and authoritative.

Uninvolved are the one’s who does not respond to his children and demand something little from them. Children get into trouble in their early years and perform poorly in life. They also have low self-esteem and high level in depression and substance abuse. This parenting style opens doors for other to set rules in their child life.

Indulgent are high responsive to the need’s of their children but are not demanding. The children also get into trouble in their early life and perform poorly in school. However, these children have a better social life, higher self-esteem. These children say that they high too much money and have nothing to do, another words, bored.

Authoritarian parents demand lot’s from their children, but respond little to the need’s of their child. These children avoid trouble in school and have social impairment skills, but have low self-esteem and higher rate in depression.

And the last paring style is the best, authoritative, well the best outcome from the three above. The parents are high in response and demand from their children. These parents teach from example. Emotional and psychological autonomy are valued. Another words, these parents are careful in how they discipline their children and children accept their authority.

Thus, parents carry huge responsibility when it comes down to parenting. However, this leaves a door for a question, where would parents get the resource to parent their child? To whom will they turn for help? How would a parent know what to say and what to do? What direction does the child need to be point too?

This is where the book of Proverbs become a great resource as it starts with these words:

"Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck" (1:8-9)

Both father and the mother teach and instruct the child, otherwise this child's future is who knows what.

Why Job DID NOT cursed God?

http://www.skybluevaping.co.za/image/data/journal/1383-1.jpg The tone of the conversation was different when Satan appeared before God second time. Not because Satan repented or agreed with God, but because his hypothesis fell short. Satan just destroyed Jobs wealth and his children (seven sons and three daughters) using evil men, fire, and wind arguing that this was the reason why Job served God in the first place. Job response to his lost was not a cursing God attitude but a humble worship. “ Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord ” (Job 1:20). When Satan appears before God second time, God asked him the same question as he did in the first conversation, "' Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and ...

The Last Moments of Christopher Hitchens life

Christopher Hitchens is one of the leading atheist of our times, they call it the new atheism now. He also is the author of a book, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” that was just recently released; heavily opposing religion and any idea that God exist. But right now Mr Hitchens is in his last stages of the esophageal cancer. The New Your Time describes his last moments of life like this: “Some of these articles were written with the full consciousness that they might be my very last. Sobering in one way and exhilarating in another, this practice can obviously never become perfected.” Another words, Hitchens has little time left. Smoking and drinking was something that Hitchens needed to quit, life was more important then the pleasures of these habits, not mentioning that he had a feeding tube installed since June. He had power in articulating his worldview to others, the ideas, but were these thoughts the reality of our world? You...

Interpreting the Bible

The Right Hermeneutics To understand the Bible (that was written about 2000 years ago), requires the right hermeneutics. The majority of Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek. 2000 years separates us from the day of Apostles (New Testament), but the Old Testament books were written long before that. Today we can see how cults use the bible to defense their heresies. Bible is read through out the world in many languages and not every person who teaches the bible have a seminary degree. Bible itself was not intended to be used by educated or scholarly people. John wrote, “The anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things” (1 John 2:27). Yet having stated that, ignorance is not an excuse to make dramatic interpretation mistakes. Bible is not a book to have it be used anyway someone desires to. In fact, Bible as a book did...
