#776: Super Hereos

11/26/24 • 0 min

Who are your son’s heroes?
Many boys admire the superheroes they see in movies, or the athletes that make crowds jump to their feet in awe and wonder.
It’s one thing for boys to wish they could fly through the air or dunk a basketball
. But point out real-life superheroes that make our lives a better place.
People like police officers, firefighters, and military servicemen should be admired because of their selfless service in maintaining law and order and ensuring our safety.
When you see these men and women around, teach your son to show them respect. Encourage your son to shake hands with them and say thanks for all that they do. By demonstrating your own gratitude, you help your son understand that not all superheroes wear capes.

#775: The Why Matters

When you ask a boy to do something, and he asks “why?” is your typical response: “Because I said so”?
If we want to raise godly boys, we must try to include the “why” behind the “what.”
As parents or mentors to boys, we should be more concerned with their heart transformation than behavior modification.
The best thing we can do is point boys to Scripture, which provides an unmoving foundation for character to be built upon.
Let’s remember Ephesians 6:4, which says, “Do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”

#777: Black Friday

Here’s a quiz question: The day after Thanksgiving is known as what?
If you answered, “Black Friday,” you’re absolutely right. That’s when many stores advertise incredible sales—and people willingly gobble up the savings.
Even though it’s nice to score a bargain, don’t let the commercialization of the holiday season distract you with all its gizmos and gadgets.
In Luke 12:15, Jesus reminds us that “one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”
That’s a tough lesson for boys to understand, especially when other kids flaunt the newest video game system or stylish clothes. But by focusing your son’s attention on Christ and helping him realize that “things” don’t guarantee happiness, the attraction of new, sparkly toys will soon fade away.
