God’s Mandate — Teach the Children

“These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up” (Deuteronomy 6:6,7). We have a mandate from God and

The Children of the Righteous

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him” (Proverbs 20:7).
