The faith@home Family Night is an effort to redeem three nights each month in which your family will gather for a time of fun, interactive and intentional learning together. Biblical truths and principles are the foundation for this time, yet fun family activities such as games, movies, and outdoor attractions are the natural venue for spending time together. It is a structured family Bible study time using fun and engaging object lessons in a flexible, easy-to-use format. It is a modern technique with an ancient foundation...Deuteronomy 6:4-9. Christian parents are commanded to:
- Love the Lord
- Teach our children - impress God's truth onto the hearts of our children, more formal/structured
- Talk with our children - "faith talks" and "God moments" with our children. more informal/impromptu
- Parents love the Lord by obeying His commands; the Bible, God's Word is the foundation for the central lesson or principle/theme upon which the evening is planned
- Provides a brief formal time for teaching our children
- Lays a foundation for "faith talks" and "God moments" upon which you can discuss throughout the evening and the weekend in casual conversation and real life
Part One is...Read & PRAY. That's right, read Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and talk with God about what He says to you through His word. Pray about how God would have you implement your own faith@home Family Night, and stay tuned, because we will be sharing Parts 2-4 in the coming weeks.
Cool idea. This is great for us, especially when we are looking for ways to make more family traditions on a regular basis to create a strong Christ-centered home. Thank you for your time and energy in this project.
