A mother was teaching her 3 year old daughter the Lord's prayer. For several evenings at bedtime she repeated it after her mother. One night she said she was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word right up to the end "Lead us not into temptation" she prayed, "but deliver us some E-mail, Amen."

What is righteousness?

Righteousness means we live like God wants us to.  When we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we’ll seek to please God all the time in every way we know how.

How can I know what righteousness looks like?

The Bible is the best place to find out how to please God.  Righteousness isn’t just about learning what the Bible says.  It’s about living it.  As we read the Bible and pray, God will help us change to be more like Him.  We can also learn about righteousness from the people who teach us how to live for God, like our parents, teachers, pastor, and others who are growing closer to God.

Blessed are those that mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

Parents you can teach your kids:

What is sin?

Sin is disobeying God.

Why should I admit my sin?

God will forgive and comfort us when we admit our sins and do our best not to do them again.  He has given us the Holy  Spirit to help us become more like Jesus in our       attitudes and actions.  When we ask God to forgive our sins, we should be so sorry that our attitudes and behaviors toward others should change.  Others should be able to tell that when we say, “I’m sorry,” we really mean it and we prove it by not  repeating the wrong things we’ve done.
