Deuteronomy 6:1-9

1. Show them how to love God!

(Deu 6:1-6) Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

(Pro 20:7) The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him (Pro 17:6) Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

2. Teach them the Word of God

(Deu 6:7) And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

(Psa 78:3) Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. (Psa 78:4) We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

(Psa 78:5-8) For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God

(Isa 38:19) The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

3. To communicate with them

(Deu 6:7) And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

(Col 3:20-21) Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. (Eph 6:1-4) Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

4. To spend time with them

(Deu 6:7) And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average. 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report) Children with Fathers who are involved are 40% less likely to repeat a grade in school. Children with Fathers who are involved are 70% less likely to drop out of school.

85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction) Daughters of single parents without a Father involved are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers 711% more likely to have children as teenagers 164% more likely to have a pre-marital birth 92% more likely to get divorced themselves

David Blankenhorn re-ported, "About one-third of all childbirths in the nation now occur outside of marriage. In most of these cases, the place for the father's name on the birth certificate is simply left blank. In at least two or every three cases of unwed parenthood, father is never legally identified" (Fatherless America 10).

5. To hold them accountable

(Deu 6:8) And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. (Deu 6:9) And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

(Mal 2:15) And did not he make one (Mal 2:15) And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

(Psa 127:3) Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. (Psa 127:4) As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. (Psa 127:5) Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
