Friday

Scripture lesson: Psalm 78:1-7 Each generation could be the last Christian generation

Time to reflect: It is up to all current Christians to pass on the faith to the new generations.  If we get too busy, too passive, too politically correct, too indulgent, we fail them and God.  We all need to take these verses to heart.

Moving Throughout the day: Pray about when and where you should be teaching others about your beliefs.

 

Scripture:

O my people, hear my teaching;
       listen to the words of my mouth.

 I will open my mouth in parables,
       I will utter hidden things, things from of old-

  what we have heard and known,
       what our fathers have told us.

 We will not hide them from their children;
       we will tell the next generation
       the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,
       his power, and the wonders he has done.

  He decreed statutes for Jacob
       and established the law in Israel,
       which he commanded our forefathers
       to teach their children,

  so the next generation would know them,
       even the children yet to be born,
       and they in turn would tell their children.

  Then they would put their trust in God
       and would not forget his deeds
       but would keep his commands.
