It’s Tradition!

I find it enjoyable to learn about the traditions of different families.  Families have traditions for various occasions, such as when a new family member comes into the world.  Some families have special traditions to celebrate each person’s birthday or graduation. Traditions, particularly family traditions, are often the threads that help keep a family woven together.  They make us feel like we belong.

One thing that I’ve been working on lately is a list if suggested Bible lessons/topics that parents should teach their children.  Ignorance of Bible content is not a problem limited to third world countries, such as where we currently live.  It is an increasingly world-wide challenge, as worldly pleasures compete more and more for our time.  This isn’t just a challenge for children, but it affects all ages.  So, I would like to challenge you to make Bible knowledge a priority in your family.  Help your children become students of the Word. Knowledge alone is not the same thing as …
