When
it comes to teaching our children how to live before God we should be sure to
follow our heavenly Father’s instructions.
The
format is not to be limited to a classroom, a Bible study time, a catechism Q
& A, or even family worship. These are all very good to do (and should be
done) but in this we must remember the basic reality that too often the ‘very
good’ takes the place of the ‘best’.
The
best education in living out God’s Word comes ‘when you walk by the way’. This
means that you—as a parent—are consciously aware of scripture’s application as
you work, play, speak, and act…and this isn’t lost on the kiddos…because you’re
talking to them within scenario and under situation rather than just in a
formal setting.
Our responsibility to teach our children is to
be done incrementally, consistently, creatively, conversationally and
naturally. There just aren’t a whole lot of bible passages that you can ‘live
out’ while sitting still.
