By God's grace, we must keep a living testimony for truth in our land. As God's beloved, we're called to pass down our witness for the gospel and the covenant to our children, and they to theirs. Our first duty is at home. Anyone who doesn't start their ministry there isn't fulfilling their calling. While seeking the lost and reaching out is important, home comes first. It's our personal duty to teach our children; we can't leave it to Sunday school teachers or others. They can help, but they can't take over this sacred responsibility.

Parents, like Abraham, must lead their households in the fear of God, speaking with their children about God's amazing works. Teaching our children is natural. Who better to care for them than those who gave them life? To ignore this duty is worse than neglect. Family faith is essential for the nation, the family, and the church.

As worldly influences challenge our faith, one of our strongest defenses is often overlooked: teaching our children about the faith. I urge parents to realize the importance of this task. Speaking of Jesus with our children is a joy, and it’s been blessed by God many times. May every home this message reaches honor the Lord and find His favor.
