In Moroni 7 we can read that a few of the words which his father, Mormon, spoke concerning faith, hope and charity. also wrote that by the ministering of angels, and by every word which proceedeth out of the mouth m- of God, men began to faith Christ, and by faith, they did lay words unto our fathers, ye shall ask the Father is good, in faith believing that shall receive, behold it shall be done unto you."

8 OUR VITAL HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS:PART SIX THE DUTIES OF PARENTS Apostle Donald Mclndoo we consider the parent's role family relationship, we are delving one of life's greatest privileges and noble ties. Seeing the many problems among young people rampant in our society today and remembering some of my own parenting, I the need to refer to some resources in ~-~uu~,u Bible Book lar: "And, ye fathers, provoke your children to rath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the " - Ephesians 6:4 As we analyze this the second clause, "... bring them up in the nurture..." This word nurture in the Greek, the language which the New was origito the chastening of a child; hence, the discipline child. I 3 responsible ".. having dem) with all gravity." refers to venerability, m other words, dignity is a good word for our understanding Now a discipline would include no belittling, no berating nor putting down of the child, nor use of methods that 36

It requires commitment and dedication on the part of the parent. Now s back to finish the phrase:"... bring them up in the and admonition of the Lord." The term admonition simply means instruction. It is the duty to instruct his children in the ways of the Lord~ in short, to provide for their spiritual This made perfectly clear "Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the your God commanded to teach that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it... And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be heart: And thou shalt diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk them when thou in and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when up." - Deuteronomy 1, 6 and 7 37
10 ous and what the Word of God has to say about In Ephesians 4: 15 we are told to speak truth in love." You don't have to be angry to discipline. You do have to know the Word of God and how to use it. In 2 Timothy 3: 16 we are told that God's word is to be used for reproof, for correction and instruction in righteousness. is exactly the responsibility God has placed on the parents, and in particular, the fathers. A passage in Chapter 2 of Mosiah needs be analyzed. Verse 24 speaks about our Christian relationships with one another. It says, "And ye will not have a mind to injure one another, but live peaceably, and to render to every man which is his due." Since we are speaking about relationship we develop our pertinent question is "How are they treated?" Since we are followers with patience and love; not constantly yelled at nor talked down are self-defeating. Verse 26 tells us, "Neither will ye they transgress the God." sible parent will not behavior in his children. Verse 27 reminds us of our teach them to walk in He is saying that we best teach by our example: "Attitudes are caught, not taught." If Dad uses profanity, such expressions will work their way into his children's vocabulary. If parents constantly yell at each other, the children learn this is the way to solve differences and problems. great problem in our nation today is a definite "lack of respect for authority" and it is increasing daily. It begins in the home with disrespect for parents. From there it moves into the school with disrespect for the teacher and the rules; then out into the street with a more serious lack of respect for the law and those who enforce culmination is a complete disrespect of God and His laws. There is a prophecy being fulfilled in our day: behold, the Lord, the Lord doth take from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole bread, whole of water, the mighty man, and the man of judge, and the prophet, and prudent, and the ancient, the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and counselor, and the cunning arti-ficer, and I will prominent legislator Congress that we are on the 38

This probationary was a space of time granted by God for mankind to repent and prepare to be reunited with Him (Alma The conflict be present during this preparatory state and mankind was left to make a conscious between the nature of man (works of the flesh) or the nature the Spirit of God.
