2019 Men's Rally III - Are you Talking to Me_ A Strategy for Leading Our Homes
Lesson Summary
The class opened with the teacher acknowledging that many believers let fear and modern distractions diminish their faith, especially when it comes to nurturing their children spiritually. He shared personal anecdotes, including a long flight where he observed Jewish travelers binding the Word of God on their bodies, and a story about a mezuzah on a house door, to illustrate the biblical principle of surrounding everyday life with Scripture. He then emphasized the biblical mandate found in Deuteronomy 6, urging families to teach God’s commandments at home, and linked it to the New Testament directive in Ephesians 6:4 for fathers to raise children in the admonishment of the Lord. The teacher warned that blaming the younger generation without examining parental responsibility is ineffective; instead, he urged a proactive approach: teaching children the Word, using Psalm 119 as a guide, and creating habits that keep Scripture visible and alive in the home. He concluded with a challenge to the men present to become intentional teachers of the Bible, ensuring their homes become places where God’s truth is constantly heard and obeyed.
