The most basic forum for evangelism and discipleship is the family.  When God gave the Law, He commanded Israel’s forefathers to teach it to their children “so the next generation would know it, even the yet unborn, and they in turn would tell their children” (Psalm 78:5,6).  Parents were to share “the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done” (v. 4).  The objective for this is that children would “put their trust in God and would not forget His deeds, but would keep His commands.” 

This strategy is often repeated in the Bible because human nature tends to rebel, be disloyal and unfaithful (v. 8).  Whenever we forget God’s Word and the wonders He has shown, the Psalmist warns in verse 11, we’ll be vulnerable to our natural tendencies.  There is no short cut to victory. 

D. L. Moody once said, “Sin will keep you from the Bible; the Bible will keep you from sinning.”  Bible verses and portions I memorized while young are the ones I remember best.  The older I get the harder it is to memorize and remember. 

Parents, follow the instruction in Psalm 78.  Share God’s Word and your experiences of God’s faithfulness with your children.  Remember, the key to memorization is repetition.  It is hard work, but worth it for when they grow and get out on their own.  Pray that they never forget to walk in the truth.
