18. Deuteronomy 6:4-7
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

19. For Our Consideration Do you know the Redeemer?
Do we know what we believe and why we believe it? Do our children?
Can we withstand the pressures of the world around us? How do we know?
Are we taking our responsibility for the next generation seriously?
