- In Romans 15:4 we read - through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
- Psalm 119:105 tells us - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
- In 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 we see - All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
These are just a few of the purposes for God's Word.
God also has a purpose for us as grandparents/parents. Look at Deuteronomy 6:1,2 . . .
These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.It is God's first and best plan for faith to be handed to our children and their children after them by their parents and grandparents. God wants us to observe/keep/follow His Word, so our children, grandchildren and generations yet unborn will respect and follow God and His Word. We do have something essential and vital for us to do.
God's Word is key and is the key. We must teach and model it to the children we love. But, how do we do this? This is why I developed the resource, Generations Quest, for it to be a tool grandparents and parents could use to help the children they love learn to trust, understand and live God's Word.
You will find complete information about Generations Quest; why I
developed it, what it is, how to use it and how it will help you engage your entire family in reading God's Word together and talking about what you learn at this link; please check it out.
Generations Quest is a digital resource which you are able to print and give to your children and grandchildren - a full year of resources will be available to you for FREE from November 24-29, 2019 if you email me (lyndagcj@gmail.com) and ask for it.
I want you to be able to hand down the faith - whether you have a budget to buy resources for your "tool kit"; or not. So, regardless of your finances, please plan to get your year of Generations Quest for your family and spread the word to the grandparents and parents you know; then let me know you want it November 24-30, 2019 and make 2020 the year you and your family read and talk about God's Word together! Merry Christmas!
