Teach by Example

One of the best ways to teach young people and children is by setting a good example. Our children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews often learn more by watching what we do rather than what we say.

Consider setting an excellent Christian example in the following categories for those who are watching us:

Keep the speed limit.

Stop at stop signs.

Do not run red lights.

Avoid road rage and do not react to those who participate.

Shun the temptation to "sample" fruit or candy in the grocery store.

Be faithful to attend church.

Obey the laws of the land and support law enforcement.

Watch only wholesome television programs.

Do not cheat on your income taxes.

Talk about the goodness of God.

Be quick to compliment and encourage others.

Speak softly and avoid anger.

Be patient.

Avoid criticism.

Keep the lines of communication open.

Pray regularly and encourage prayer.

Be quick to help others.

Read the Bible and other good books.

Be truthful at all times.

Look for the good in everyone.
