Bible Bites

Each Generation

“Their children, who have not known, will hear and learn to fear the LORD your God…” (Deuteronomy 31:13)

         Every generation needs to hear the gospel for themselves. Moses made it clear that if the children didn’t hear the laws of God, they would never fear the Lord for themselves.  There is no such thing as faith by proxy.

         Don’t assume that since you (the parent) know what the Bible says on a given topic that your children do, too.  What is basic and fundamental to you may be foreign and new to them.  Each generation must hear and inquire for themselves.  Don’t discourage them in their discovery of the LORD by making them feel small for not knowing things yet or by creating an environment where asking questions leads to being humiliated for needing to learn.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

This Week’s Reading: Deuteronomy 24-31; Psalm 22; Proverbs 22

This year, #Biblebites are looking at lessons from the history of the Old Testament.  Each week reads a section of history with a Psalm to meditate on and a dash of Proverbs to dwell upon.  If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2024-vision
