We usually sing four or five verses. I don't know, everybody knows them. So how about let's just start. The wise man built his house.

Yeah, she's not loved me the Bible. Help me go.
OK, all right. We're going to sing some more later because I like to sing a lot and I like to hear little children singing. I don't get to sing little kids songs all that much.
Now I know some of you have learned a verse and.
How about?
Let's read it first.
And I always get a little bit of stage fright, so let's see if I can remember where it is.
Let's see here. Can anyone tell me where it is?
Someone say it out loud.
Let's see if someone can.
Tell me before I find it.
Oh, I found it. OK, it's Colossians 320 and it says, Children, obey your appearance in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Colossians 320 OK, who is ready to say the verse? And do I have the right verse?
Yeah, you ready to say the verse?
Good job, could use this thing here.
Just hold it out to him, OK? Who else wants to say it?
You don't have to use the microphone.
Are you ready to say it, Rosemary?
Not yet. OK, how about you?
No.
OK, here we have someone. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Colossians 320. Good job. OK, anybody else?
How about?
Well, just give that a rest for a minute.
This got dragged on the ground on the way in here.
Umm, who knows what this is?
00:10:00
And someone needs to tell me who's 10 years old or younger because I don't think the older people know.
It's a speaking tube.
How about you?
I didn't bring the uh, I didn't bring the, uh, microphone to.
He thinks it's a pool noodle.
Who thinks it's a pool noodle?
Ha, who thinks it is speaking tube?
You're right, and so are you.
We've been traveling in a van for two weeks and uh.
It's loud in the van.
And the kids can hear us when they want to.
So lots of times we can't hear them, and the more we say speak up, the quieter they talk. So late one night when I should have been sleeping, I went to a Walmart or a Target or something like that and I asked, do you sell any hoes? No, Sir, we don't.
Where is well I went I went looking for a hose to talk through.
And I found a speaking tube.
I think it works. Can you hear me?
Here, that's right.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
It works.
You know, we're in a van for two weeks and it got real tiring trying to listen to each other.
And this really, really helped here. What Rosemary had to say. Not so much for Abigail.
Because she couldn't figure out how to use it, she used it like this.
It's fun to use it like this.
But you know.
We all are fortunate.
The Lord has given us the word of God in our hands and in a way.
It's a speaking tube because, you know, we live in a world that has a lot of things going on, lots of people trying to tell us what to do.
I can just watch my kids, you know, they're always telling each other what to do.
Watch everybody else. You know, I was sitting in the lobby this morning early and I saw a man walk in and he was wearing a shirt that says OBEY.
I had a good long conversation with him.
He was, it said, worldwide propaganda. Obey.
A lot of food for thought there.
There's a lot of people trying to tell us what to do, and that particular mark of clothing is trying to tell us what to wear.
But you know, God has given us the Bible and he.
He's he's talking right to us. Can you hear me?
Good SO.
This verse.
See if I can find it again.
I'm really bad when people are watching me trying to find things in here.
I'm really glad I learned that song about the books of the Bible, ha.
It says children. OK, so who here thinks this is talking to them? If it says children, who here is a child?
OK, I guess I'm a child.
That's my dad sitting over there.
OK, so it says children obey your parents and I asked one of my kids earlier.
Who are your parents?
That's what she said. Who is it?
She didn't know what the word meant. All right, who can tell me? Let's see. Can you tell me who are your parents?
Mom and dad, that's right. You know, there's words in here that we all have to learn what different words mean. Children, most children learn that word. Parents.
Apparently I hadn't taught my child that I was her parent. She didn't know that word. She knew dad, daddy, stuff like that. But OK, so children, it says.
00:15:09
God is speaking.
Children.
Well, they are your parents.
My children know what obey means. They learned that a while back. They know what it means not saying that. They've learned all that it means.
Dad, ha, have I learned all that obey means?
That's my parent.
Did you try to teach me a lot?
Was I very obedient?
So.
We all need to listen to this, don't we?
It says, children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. So it's really nice to have my dad here because I can ask him questions. He's my parents. It's good to ask your parents questions. So I'm gonna ask my one of my parents a question, Dad.
Oh, here I can get your microphone.
We need to be able to hear you clearly, so we won't use the speaking tube.
And, uh, I'm gonna ask you what pleasing means in a second.
So it says, children, obey your parents.
Why do we need to obey our parents?
Why should we obey our parents?
Well.
You know this verse that some of us have learned says, children obey your parents and all things, and God has said this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
What does that mean, Dad?
It's something he really likes, something he really appreciates, something he really enjoys.
And there's other reasons to obey our parents and to obey God, but we're told that. Could you say that again?
Something that is pleasing is something that is pleasing to God is something that God likes very much, that he appreciates very much, that He enjoys very much. So children, obey your parents in all things. So this is something that the Lord really enjoys. He likes, He appreciates it.
You know what? That doesn't speak just to the little children here, does it?
Sure, I'll show you in your box, you know each one of you kids. Some of you have your own Bibles too. And just like in my Bible, in your Bible, in Colossians chapter.
Three.
Verse 20.
There it is right there, Rosemary. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord, and you know.
We use that word please a lot. We say if we really want somebody to do something, please do this or that. It's very polite. It makes someone feel good when you use the word please, because really what we're saying is if it would please you, please do this if, if you would, if that's something that you enjoyed, something that you would feel good doing.
That's really where it comes from and we want if well.
If we have the Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts, we do want because He puts that desire in us. We see in Philippians 213 He puts us, puts in us the desire to do what is pleasing to the Lord. And you and you and I are told, obey your parents in all things for this.
Is something that the Lord really appreciates and enjoys.
And wants, you know the children aren't the only ones told what to do. This list tells us. Tell us things for wives and husbands, fathers and servants, what they should do, how to please the Lord. Whatever you do, whatsoever you do, do it hardly as to the Lord, and not unto men. You know, sometimes when I'm correcting my children.
00:20:15
Because they've done something that does not please me.
I forget to tell them that, really.
When I'm telling you to obey me.
What I'm doing is.
I'm doing what God has told me to do, to teach you so that you can please the Lord. Because we don't. We're not born wanting to do what's right. We were born wanting to go our own way and do what we think will make us happy. And you know, I was talking to that man this morning. They had the shirt that said obey.
And I talked to him.
And he said that he went to church. He said that he listened to people preach.
And then as long as you were happy in life and not hurting anybody and you were OK.
And I'm afraid he.
He hasn't been.
Listening to God, he hasn't been reading his own Bible.
If you have a Bible and your parents have a Bible, they're going to be teaching you.
About God. They're gonna be reading God's word to you and teaching you what is right. And you know what? Your parents are gonna make mistakes and sometimes they're gonna have to apologize to you. Usually when I have to correct my children.
They have to apologize with for what they've done wrong. But you know what?
I have to say I'm sorry to God too when I've done wrong and apologized to my to my children too, because I've done wrong to them.
Now, is there anyone else that wants to say the verse I don't want? You can use the speaking to, or you can use the microphone, or you can say it just by yourself. Anybody that wants to say the verse.
OK, that's OK.
All right, how about we sing another song? People have hymn books now.
No.
