Frankly, I think that parents often use the Bible to beat up on kids and then we wonder why they do not care for the things of the Lord.
I know... People think I am way overstating the issue and being way too serious... But, imagine, if you will, that your husband were to leave you a list of things that needed to be accomplished at home today, and by each item was Bible verse.
Do laundry. "Wash your hands, you sinners." James 4:8
Call the plumber. "The have forsaken me... and have dug their own cisterns,
cisterns that cannot hold water" Jeremiah 2:13
Go to the bank "Godliness is a means to financial gain." I Timothy 6:5
Not only is there some abuse of scripture going on there, how does this make feel about your spouse who gives you such a list?
Yes, God is clear that children are to obey their parents. But that is not a weapon we should use as we take on the task of civilizing our children.
I thinks charts can be a great parenting tool. I think children will benifit greatly from memoriziing scripture. I am just none too fond of combinging them both.
