Family Altar. Family Devotions. A relic of ages gone by. Sadly, for many people, a family gathering around the Word of God is almost non-existent. While fact stands true, it stands in direct opposition to the command of Deuteronomy 6:7-8. This command is given to all parents and places a vital importance on the time of family altar. Every parent should take this episode to heart and make it a commonplace in their home!Recommended resources from the episode: - Junior Church type songs: https://nashpublications.com/downloads/- Illustrated Little Pilgrim's Progress: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Pilgrims-Progress-Illustrated-Bunyans/dp/0802420532?asin=0802420532&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1

All this week we're looking at what it means for us as Christian parents to entrust our children to God. To entrust your children to God is to teach them doctrine. Our children and teens are seeking answers to two basic developmental questions: “Who am I?” and “What do I believe” Thanks to smartphones and social media, culture is catechizing our kids around the clock. While they turn to their devices to make sense of life in the world, we must lead them into the life-giving Word of God, which is the only source of Truth. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 reminds us that we are to be intentional about constantly and diligently teaching them God's Word, showing them how it speaks to all of life. Our approach is to be multi-sensory as we talk, sit, walk, lie down, and rise up with God's Word on our lips and our lives. We teach sound doctrine by enlisting the tools of age-appropriate Catechisms, family devotions, and the everyday teachable moments that offer opportunities to pass on the truths of God's Word.

When God chose Bethlehem of all places as the birthplace of His Son, He was sending us a message. Why didn't He choose Jerusalem, the religious capital of Israel?

Only one out of twenty Christians have family worship together. Does your family? "Mom, Dad," he said, "don't ever stop reading the Bible to my siblings." He went on to explain that a few of his Christian friends at college were able to examine things by the word of God. Although most were raised in Christian families, they were mostly clueless about scripture. ~ Melanie Young Check out this episode of Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms based on Proverbs 6:20-23 to learn how you can begin to ask God for the wisdom you need for your family!

The percentage of families who are reading the Bible in their homes is dreadfully low, but we know it's not because the desire is not there. It's because we are intimidated, we think we're not experts, we don't know enough, we don't have time to make the habit, you get the idea. There are plenty of excuses, but it is a matter of eternity that we start reading the Word with our children. Don't miss my visit with my friend Glenn Ransom as he comes to share his easy button for family devotions with us. You'll love it!
