God's Instruction:

Deuteronomy 11:18 English Standard Version (ESV)

18 “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

God's Education System:

Deuteronomy 11:19-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

19 You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 20 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,

"The churches are getting complacent. They have lost their first love."

We need to establish them with the education of God.

Do not undermine the faith of another generation.

Put what He has instilled in your heart.

God's character does not change. God is love, just, fair, righteous. Don't blame God. Never question why things happen. Mankind gave authority to Satan.

God's Reasons:

1) God wants us to have a healthy life and a permanent home.

Deuteronomy 11:21 English Standard Version (ESV)

21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

2) Excel above all other nations.

Deuteronomy 11:22 English Standard Version (ESV)

22 For if you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the Lord your God, walking in all his ways, and holding fast to him,

Even in natural Israel, they have excelled in science and music.

3) Ownership

Deuteronomy 11:24 English Standard Version (ESV)

24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to[a] the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea.

God wants you to excel.

4) Divine Protection

Deuteronomy 11:25 English Standard Version (ESV)

25 No one shall be able to stand against you. The Lord your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread, as he promised you.

Who gave us education?

God taught you to love. So we teach our children, the new generation, our society.

God is a practical God.

Teach the character which is the fruit of the Spirit.

Don't complain. The more you say it, you are fulfilling it.

Teach God's principles.

Have a greater vision. Your children must see God's story in their lives. What is God's story in their lives? Go and do what God calls you to do. And hope that God's story is fulfilled in your life. It is not too late.

God's responsibility is demonstrated in our daily home lives.

By your own life, you tell the truth and demonstrate your faith in God. Show your faith, God will provide. Cut your coat according to your cloth.

The best teaching method is by example.
