09/13/20 THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD #5 —  In Deuteronomy 11:2 (CSB) Moses says, “Understand today that it is not your children who experienced or saw the discipline of the Lord your God: His GREATNESS, strong hand, and outstretched arm…” He is reciting the long list of God’s powerful acts to free the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt and enable them to advance towards the Promised Land.

But he is also underlining a vital truth. Most of the adults had personally experienced these mighty acts of the Lord; they knew firsthand that their God was Powerful and Trustworthy. But their children had NOT lived through most of this. It was the responsibility of these parents to pass their faith and testimony to their children. Somebody (undoubtedly) famous once said, “Christianity is always just one generation from extinction!” PARENTS: YOU are the VERY BEST and MOST IMPORTANT TEACHERS of YOUR CHILDREN!

Let’s face the FACTS, the awful TRUTH: So many of our young people, apparently saved and active in church activities throughout high school, go off to college; and five years later the vast majority have abandoned the church and Christianity, seemingly never to return. Let’s REVERSE THIS TREND, starting NOW! Parents, take advantage of every opportunity, make opportunities to TEACH your children about the GREATNESS of the God we serve!
