Here is the fifth and final installment of the Five Principles of Living and
Passing on Faith:
Principle Five: If we want Christian children and youth, we need Christian adults.
Deuteronomy 11:1-3 - "You shall love the Lord your God, therefore, and
keep His charge, His decrees, His ordinances, and His commandments
always. Remember today that it was not your children (who have not
known or seen the discipline of the Lord your God), but it is you who
must acknowledge His greatness, His mighty hand and His outstretched
arm, His signs and His deeds that He did..." 2 Timothy 1:5 - "I am
reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your
grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives
in you."
These two readings explain this principle simply and plainly. So, as we
live out the first four principles, the fifth principle is inevitable.
Through Christ who strengthens and guides us, all generations are
equipped to live out the Christian faith in vibrancy each and every
day.
