Teach Your Children
Sermonette by Bill CherryGod instructs us to engage in conversation with our children as a vital part of teaching them His Word. We are to talk of His commands when we sit in our house, when we walk by the way, when we lie down, and when we rise up, making these discussions a constant presence in every facet of life. This conversation, though often casual, is purposeful; it involves listening to our children, understanding their minds and hearts, and talking with them about everything to grasp how they feel and think. In these moments, we may guide the conversation toward God's Word, sharing examples from our own experiences, such as responding to anger with a soft answer to turn away wrath, or offering gentle suggestions for their behavior. Spending time with our children, especially teenagers who face negative influences from the world, is crucial. We must stop everything, look them in the eye, and truly talk with them during everyday activities like folding clothes, doing housework, or playing sports. These casual conversations provide opportunities to understand our children and, when appropriate, offer guidance with the Scriptures. By showing love and prioritizing these interactions over distractions, we demonstrate that they are more important than anything else, reinforcing the value of God's Word in their lives.
