Deuteronomy 6:4–9: Teaching Kids About God at Home
Deuteronomy 6:4–9 places the teaching of children inside the ordinary routines of home life, flowing from a parent's own wholehearted love for the one true God. Faithful teaching is commanded; outcomes rest with God.
Psalm 78:1–8: Telling God's Deeds to Children
Family devotions are not an optional extra for unusually diligent parents. Psalm 78 presents the telling of God's words and deeds as a covenant obligation handed from one generation to the next, aimed at hope in God and obedient hearts.
Joshua 24:14–15: Choose Whom You Will Serve
