Teach The Babies

Good Morning!! Many parents feel an obligation to their children,...to raise them up in a good environment. So they cart them off to Sunday school, or send them to a Christian school,...assuming that they have fulfilled their obligation. However, if we ourselves are not actively engaged in the Christian faith, then we really can't expect our children to fall in love with it,...just because they have been exposed to it externally.

These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.—Deuteronomy 6:6, 7a (NIV)

It is not enough to pass on God's Word to our children and grandchildren. We must first receive, and embrace it, in our own hearts,...as their first caregivers and instructors. There is no way to share a love for God and His Word with our children that we ourselves do not daily and vitally experience. 

We must make a daily, overriding, unrelenting determination as parents and grandparents, to teach our children the Christian faith,
...just as it was done for us.

God's Word must continually and carefully be emanating from our heart, and be diligently communicated to the hearts of our children.

 "Loneliness comes from forgetting about the One who is always with us."
