Tell the Next Generation

The task of educating our children and preparing the next generation for service to the Lord in all of life is an incredibly important undertaking. No responsibility from God is more important for the well-being of those who will exercise their office and calling in the home and in society after us. Each generation is faced with this challenge. It is more than that. Educating the next generation is a holy duty that God himself has entrusted to us as Christians.
