Guidance for Parents:
Mercy
Scripture: Psalm 136:3, “give thanks to the Lord of lords: for His mercy endures forever”
Teachable Moment: Mercy is love. Mercy is grace. Mercy is forgiveness. Mercy is acceptance. Mercy is withholding judgment. How does a parent decide if an action requires mercy or consequences?
1. Is the child in danger?
2. How serious is the action?
3. How will society view the action?
4. Is this action reoccurring too often?
5. Is this action a teachable moment that is age appropriate for your child?
6. Does this action have a logical consequence?
7. Does this action have a definite consequence as an adult?
Do not rewrite rules for your child. Meaning: if a rule exists in society, DO NOT make exceptions for your child. Your child must be expected to follow the authority and the rules in place, in any given situation.
Teach: We are free to make choices. We are not free of consequences for those choices. Make good choices!
Ephesians 3:14-19, Guide me, Lord, as I disciple my children and prepare them for the battles they face everywhere, including their own hearts.
Vocabulary Builder: mercy

About the Book
Can America regain its strength? Not without effort. Not without careful design. Not without family values, morals, and God as the center of our daily lives.
People are asking, “What is happening to America? Why is everything so messed up? How did we get to this situation? Where is God?”
Our society has been allowed to be one without God as the center. Families are on their second and third generations being raised outside the Church and Bible. God is not in our schools. God is not in our government. God is not in our families.
Our young parents of today’s children are hungry for the Truth. They search for the ‘how to’ lessons showing how they should parent, teach and live their lives. They are determined to raise their children in God’s Kingdom.
Education has turned a complete 180 from its original design and intent. In the beginning, schools were designed to learn to read and write from the Bible. Education has expelled prayer from classrooms. Education has removed God from the schools. Education has lost sight of education! The focus has shifted from the Bible, and even from students in recent years. The current focus is testing and test scores. It is driven by these numbers to no longer be realistic of the development, needed skills, creativity and individual strengths of students. We are ‘dumbing down’ America!
Homeschooling has become a popular choice of education in recent years. Homeschooling has the advantage of allowing God to be the center of said education. The Kids of the Kingdom Books would be beneficial spiritual curriculum for parents of homeschoolers or children’s ministry leaders.
Whatever the setting, Kids of the Kingdom Books are designed to further God’s Kingdom through our families, as they prepare young children of today to take back the best America ever!
How are Kingdom Studies Different? The defining difference found in Kids of the Kingdom studies is the involvement of the Holy Spirit. It is learning about the roles of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in our daily lives.
