Must watch sermon

I copied this post from a good friend of mine. It really is a MUST watch.  It makes me so thankful to have the parents I did!

This video is a must watch if you're a parent!!  Please take some time to sit and watch it.  I know it's kind of long, but so worth it.  You'll be really glad you did.  The President of Ozark Christian College came and spoke about parenting at our church and it was great!  6,570 is the number of days we have with our kids from birth to 18 and each day counts.  Every parent is going to leave a legacy and it will have a multi-generational impact.  "The problem with America is not the government shutdown, but the breakdown of the family.  As goes the family, goes the nation, goes the world."

Your greatest legacy is a Godly lineage.  Some ways to make that happen:  1.  Set a Godly environment - cultivate a heart that loves God, write on the door post of your house, use visual symbols, have scripture cards readily laying around the house;  2.  Set a Godly education - implant a love of God's word, read the bible daily;  3.  Set a Godly example - a heritage of faith.  Be a Praying family; Be a Responsible family;  Be an Obedient family;  Be a Compassionate family;  Be a Truthful family;  Be an Overcoming family;  Be a Rejoicing family. 

Deuteronomy 6: 4-9  "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  These commandments that  I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your children.  Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."
