Deuteronomy

At a recent family reunion, I watched as my 4-year-old grandson settle into his 24-year-old uncle’s lap to play video games together on a tablet. They hadn’t seen each other for more than a year. It was an amazing portrait of family.

The movie, “The Lion King” focused attention on how You intend for families to function…one generation helping the next learn truth and set behavioral expectations. The central song, “The Circle of Life” inspired many of us to fulfill this generational obligation and build solid families. Today in America our young children are at greater risk than at any time in my lifetime…because of our failure to embrace the “Circle of Life” and abandon our children to the cruelty of a dark culture.

Rescue our kids!

AMEN

Scripture: “These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Thank You for all the dedicated Home School families committed to giving their children a sound education based on a Biblical worldview.

America’s public schools have…sometimes with surprising malice…worked diligently to separate children from their parents’ influence. Home School children, by any measurable cultural or academic standard far exceed the performance of their contemporaries.

Father, I ask You to bless the Home School communities across America. Most of these families have assumed the challenge of raising their families on a single income to ensure their children are well educated with both the knowledge of truth and the capacity to solve problems using critical thinking skills.

America’s future is brighter the larger the contingent of Home Schooled adults in her population. Bless these families that they might be a blessing to America.

AMEN

Scripture: “These words I am commanding you today must be kept in mind, and you must teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house, as you walk along the road, as you lie down, and as you get up.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7

You designed the nuclear family as the cornerstone of a stable and functioning society.

The home was the place to raise, nurture and develop the next generation and the next and the next.

By Your design, Mothers and Fathers, functioning together was the way to ensure healthy children and communities. In their home children could grow to become responsible adults.

For decades we have ignored two-parent homes as the cornerstone for passing on truth to future generations.

We mocked the marriage covenant; undercut the father’s role and enticed women to seek fulfillment in the world. The result is generations of children adrift…unprepared for adulthood. Then we wonder at the breakdown of social order. We are shocked at what our children…and their children have become.

Oh, Lord, rescue our children from our irresponsible life choices. May the next generation lead us back to a future of stable homes, peace, and community.

AMEN
