Provoke Not Your Children

At this time I would like us to take a look at this phrase – And, you fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath. We will save the exposition of what it means to bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord for our next time together. But in this message I would like us to think of the following 2 ideas. 1st of all – If you would not provoke your children to wrath, you must communicate your love to them along with your expectation of their obedience. 2nd – If you would not provoke your children to wrath, you must personally model for them the importance of humility and prayer.
