PM Edition for July 11
In tonight's episode, Chuck Spurgeon reflects on Joel 1:3, discussing the vital importance of maintaining a living testimony for truth within our families. The devotional emphasizes the sacred obligation of parents to pass down their faith and witness of the gospel to their children and subsequent generations.
Key Scripture:
- Joel 1:3
Main Points:
Living Testimony: God's people are called to keep a living testimony for the truth alive in the land by handing down their witness for the gospel and covenant to their descendants.
Family Hearth as Primary Ministry: The first duty of believers is to begin their ministry at home. Teaching our children about God's wondrous works is a personal responsibility that cannot be fully delegated to others. Sunday school teachers and other aids can assist but cannot replace the role of parents.
Parental Responsibility: Parents, like Abraham, must command their households in the fear of God and speak with their children about God's works. It is a natural duty and crucial for the child's spiritual well-being.
Family Religion: The practice of family religion is necessary for the well-being of the nation, the family itself, and the church of God. By instructing children in the faith, parents can resist false doctrines and ensure the continuity of God's truth.
Impact of Parental Teaching: Teaching children about Jesus and sharing the faith has often proved effective, leading to the salvation of children through parents' prayers and admonitions.
