{": For Children"s Sake:"}

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.
