Teach your Children

Biblical Talks with Elder Michael Tolliver Podcast

Deuteronomy 6:7

Contemporary English Version.

and tell them to your children over and over again. Talk about them all the time, whether you're at home or walking along the road or going to bed at night, or getting up in the morning.

A man used to talk on child education. He had been a professor for a long time and he talked about parenting when he was single. His speeches changed over the years. When he was single, he started off calling his talks the “Ten Commandments for Parenting”. After his first child, he had to change the title to the “Ten Hints for Parenting. After he second child it became the Ten Recommendations for Parenting. When he had his third child, he just stopped talking.

Beloved of the Lord, parenting today is hard. Parents are a child’s escort through life. We have, in our culture, around eighteen years to escort our children safely into their way, God has called them to. Like a police escort that escorts specially chosen travelers through traffic. Parents are to escort their children through life, safely, during the time that we have responsibility for them. Beloved our children and the family are under attack. If you don’t recognize that, you may be part of the problem. Listen to me please if you have children, you are responsible to make sure that the truth you are learning is being transmitted to them, listen God’s Word is to be the subject of every conversation, both inside and outside of the home, from the beginning of the day to end of the same day. Because if you don’t teach God’s Word to your family, there is someone else out there who has a word he would be glad to give them.

Satan has his own message, his own kingdom, and he has many real counselors who would be glad to teach your children for you. Some of these counselors are on the streets, some are in the school system, they are online, they are on many social media platforms, some may even attend your church. Beloved! No one and I mean No one should have more influence over your children then you do. No one should have more effect on the character, development, or behavior of your child than you do.

Therefore, we have to routinely teach our children – not occasionally. That means turning off the T.V, the computer, and the phone, put Facebook down, and use that time for teaching. Beloved you have to make time with your family to teach the Word, I hate to tell you this, but government nor the church has been charged to do what parents are supposed to do. Let me say this, parents please stop trying to be your child friend, your child doesn’t need more friends they need parents. If you give your kids God’s Word early in life, the Holy Spirit has something to hook on to and bring them back should they take a bad turn.

Let us look into Proverbs 22:6 for a minute. Proverbs 22:6 says “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it”. That does not mean to train him the way you want him to go. It means that God has a way for him to go, and you are to cooperate with God. That means, parent, that you need to stay close to Him!

Beloved there is only one right way, God's way, the way of life. That way is specified in great detail in Proverbs. Since it is clear that early train
