And These Words Which I Command You Today
Shall Be In Your Heart.
You Shall Teach Them Diligently
To Your Children.
Deuteronomy 6:6,7
The Word Of God Is The Base
For All Successful Family Relationships,
Weather With Parents, Siblings,
Or Spouses.
This Text, However, Deals With The Foundation
We Must Lay In Raising Our Children
To Be People Of God.
We Are To Begin By Instructing Them In The Word.
Following God's Law Is Not Given
To Make Us Into Spiritual Crackpots,
But Rather To Make Us
"Naturally Supernatural."
Living God's Word Doesn't Require
That We Tack Scripture Placards
All Over Our Walls And Speak In A
"Holy" Tone Of Voice.
It Does Require However, That We Teach Our Children
How To Apply God's Word To Appropriate Situations.
Prov. 4:1-4; 1 Cor. 10:11
It Does Require That We Feel Our Homes
With The Joy Of The Lord
Neh. 8:10
It Does Require That We Follow The Structure
That God Has Ordered Within A Believing Home.
Eph. 5:22-6:4
And It Does Require Consistency
At Persistence In Teaching.
2 TIM. 3:14-17
What Are We To Do When We Face
A Challenge In Our Family?
We Apply The Word, And Watch The Lord
Turn The Situation To His Glory.
