biblestudy: The Commandments (Part 12)
Honor Your Parents, Part 3
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 22-Jul-89; Tape #BS-TC12
Description: In this twelfth installment of The Commandments (the third pertaining to the fifth commandment) series, John Ritenbaugh insists that, when it comes to the consequences of sin, "there ain't no free lunch" (likewise there is no such thing as a victimless crime.) Children (actually all of us) need to learn that we often suffer the consequences of other people's sins. Children, because of their failure to connect cause and effect or time connections, do not seem to comprehend the devastating long-range consequences of sin. Only the immature think they can escape the penalties of broken laws. God's Law is immutable and unchanging. Parents need to teach their children to consider the long-range consequences of current behaviors, chastening and disciplining them while there is hope. The historical testimony of the scriptures reveals that God's purpose or counsel cannot be altered and that His judgments are totally impartial. If we, as parents, realize these principles, we will rear our children to fear God and respect authority. Children must be taught the long- range as well as the short-range cause/effect relationships between sin (or law- breaking) and the deadly certain penalties that follow. (73 minutes)
