Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Moses had instructions for God's people concerning their home and family. What a challenge it is for me to speak on this important subject that all of us need to hear something about, because you either have children or grandchildren, or you have nieces or nephews, or you know children as they run around here at the church.

He was a single man doing a seminar entitled, "How to Raise Your Children." Then he got married and changed the title of his seminar to "Suggestions for Parents." Not very long after that, his first child came along, and he changed the title to "Feeble Hints for Fellow Strugglers." Then he had his third child, and he completely gave up doing the lecture. Many of us can identify with that. Perhaps you're like that lady who got on the bus with five children. The bus driver said, "Are these all your kids, or are you just going to a picnic?" She said, "Sir, these are all my kids, and this ain't no picnic." You may be like that mother who took her child, little Billy, to the first grade. When she got home, her husband asked, "Did Billy cry when you left him at school?" She said, "No, but the teacher did." Some of you teachers can identify with that as well. Let's think about what God has to say about how to ...
