Module 1
The altar
“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children.”
Deuteronomy 6:6–7
Read: Deuteronomy 6:4–9 · Joshua 24:15
Before Israel had a temple, the family had an altar. God’s plan for passing faith down the generations was not a program. It was parents who loved God with everything and talked about Him at the table, on the road, at bedtime, and at breakfast.
If the Word is not in your heart, you cannot teach it diligently. Leading your home starts with you being led. Then it becomes the air your house breathes.
Wrestle with it
- When was the last time your household opened the Bible together?
- Do the people in your home know what you believe because you have told them, or only because they have guessed?
The charge
Open the Word with your household tonight. Five minutes. One chapter. Then pray.
