You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

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.
You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
My son, keep your father’s command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.
Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.
When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.
TIPS AND TRUTHS
Make sure we are matching effort, energy and intentionality in train our kids spiritually as we are in extracurriculars.
NO ONE defaults into godliness.
What you don’t prioritize your kids will marginalize.
Your kids need to see you engaged: Bible Reading, giving, worshiping, etc…
Parenthood is discipleship.
Teach your kids: quiet time, prayer, giving, serving, church attendance, etc…
Kids are not the most important factor in the home. Stop the idolatry.
The church doesn’t replace your role. It enhances it.
You don’t have an unlimited window.
