Don't forget your job!

A reminder to us parents this morning from God's Word:



Deuteronomy 6:6-9



6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.



This is a clear teaching from God this morning that as parents it is our job to teach our children God's Word. All day long and every opportunity we get we should be teaching them what God says. It should be posted around our house and in our cars and yes even on our children somewhere!!! (frontlets) It seems we think the preacher or the Sunday school teacher or even their school teacher in some cases should be teaching them what they should know. That is wrong! God is very clear it is our job as parents and then others may supplement our teachings. Perhaps the problem is we don't know enough about the Word to teach our children. That is not an excuse....because we can change that if we choose to do so!



So this morning are you doing your job? It is a command from what I read here this morning! Better get busy!
