Chez Nous.

Here is a text that we have on our dining room wall. It is taken from Psalm 48:13-14.

When Pauline and I were married we had this text engraved upon our wedding bands. Our kids knew about this and presented us with the verse beautifully scripted in copper plate handwriting for our fortieth wedding anniversary.

You will notice that the prelude to the verse reads :

 "That you may tell it to the generation following."

That phrase is crucial to the perpetuation of the Christian faith to our children.

The Jewish people were commanded to put the Word of God upon the portals and walls of their houses. In this way their children would learn the Word and be able to recall the gracious dealings of God with them and with their ancestors.

When a generation is allowed to grow up without God, His Word and the testimony of their forbears, irreparable damage is done.
The church, ever since it's birth at Pentecost, has always been one generation from extinction. Nothing simply happens of itself; nothing good that is.

Parents stay with the programme and put the Word of God on the walls of your children's minds.

If you don't, Hollywood and Much Music will be only too happy to make them infidels.
