Re: Verse reading–Psalm 127:3-5; Proverbs 22:6; Deuteronomy 6:1-9 (day one)
“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.”–Deuteronomy 6:6-7. “The primary responsibility for discipling a child toward faith and obedience to Christ belongs with parents. No church can fully or adequately substitute for the influence of a parent’s instruction and encouragement. The church works in partnership with parents. We offer training and encouragement as we work together to lead children to Christ and to a life of obedience.”–FBCSA Next Gen Report, 2012. For 3500 years it has been clear. Parents are, first, to have God’s commandments on OUR OWN hearts. From this intense, vital, personal relationship with the Lord, we are to TEACH OUR CHILDREN a similar love. What a privilege! Lord, help us!
