“ Summary, Part 3 (final) ” PRINCIPLED APPLICATIONS [37:27]: 1. Parents, be reminded of your duties to your children. 2. Non-parents, aid parents in this enterprise. 3. Israel’s rejection and rebellion were too similar to ours to escape notice (Rom 1:16-32). 4. There is hope of repentance and restoration. Ps 78:32-35 – chastisement can bring us remembrance of God’s word; vv. 67-72 – a greater-than-David has already come. 5. There is a remnant whose duty it is to rest in the justice and righteousness of the King. God will avenge His institutions, glory, and name. 6. We are to be the church militant on the earth. It can become very costly, but we are to stand steadfast. 7. There is a stern and fearful warning to the children of godly parents (vv. 34-39): God’s graciousness is why we “coast along”, not necessarily because everything is fine. Each of us comes to the cross alone and often. 8. Do we have the courage of our convictions? Do we apply our biblical teachings? Do we sacrifice our worldly blessings for our faith?

“ Summary, Part 2 ” II. THE PROMISE OF THIS INSTRUCTION (vv. 5-8) [28:16]. If we’re all fallen, what can we hope? God is not just one of grace but one of means; He brings about His will by what is here on earth. We hope for five things: 1. That His word will breed teachers. 2. That the children will set their hope in God. 3. That it will lead them to not forget His works. 4. That they would keep His commandments (cf. Ecc 12:13). 5. That they may escape the pattern of their fallen fathers. (their rebellious ancestors, vv. 9-11). The Ephraimites turned away from trials, even though they were well-equipped. A helpful example: where did King Josiah come from? His mother was named (2 Kgs 22:1). Timothy’s mother and grandmother were tremendous influences on his later faith (2 Timothy 1:5).

“ Summary, Part 1 ” The emphasis of Ps 7:8-11 is the importance of each generation teaching the next about God’s word. What happened to them, and what’s happening to us? I. THE PARENTAL DUTY OF PERPETUAL INSTRUCTION [starting at 12:11 of the audio]. We all have an interest in passing on biblical principles to the next generation, whether or not we’re parents. A. ITS CONTEXT (vv. 1-3) (13:27). Asaph himself is the pattern, and acts as a father to those whom he is writing. He commands their attention. We see this again and again in the Proverbs (Pr 4:10-13, 20-27, cf. Deut 6:4-9). B. ITS CONTENT [20:53]. Note three things: 1. The praises of the Lord. 2. Instruct the children in His strength. They must be convinced of God’s trustworthiness and power. 3. Instruct the children in His wonderful works that He has done. This is especially effective with children. If we don’t teach this, we erase Him from history. C. ITS CULTIVATION (vv. 5-6) [24:36]. Our instruction should leave a pattern and example of the aid of future instructors because we want to be a generation that sets a hope in God in the next one.
