How to Surround Your Kids with Scripture

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Linda Leon with Expert Village and I've been working with children for a long time. Today, we're going to teach you how to pass your Protestant faith along your children. And I love using simple applications because they have tremendous impact. One of the things that we've been careful to do with our children all along their little lives, and they're teenagers now, but we put appliques all around the house. Appliques - things that have Scriptural references to them. This one says "This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it." You can pick these up from a variety of stores - Christian book stores, sometimes the dollar store has these on clearance. But make it a point to begin to put appliques all around your hosue. The Bible talks about how you put Scriptures on your walls, on your door posts, and God means for you to take that literally because everwhere they walk, they see Scripture so that they can begin to internalize them. So we have those types of appiqules in every room of the house. Every bedroom has them, every eating place has them. Every room in our house has some kind of applique or there are Scriptures posted to the wall, because we take it serious. And we know that if we allow our children to get used to seeing the word of God at all times, then they will take it to heart when they live. They will say, "Well the Scriptures are very important. My parents put Scriptures all over the house, so they must be very important." And then they'll carry those things out into the work world, or to their school environment, or where ever they are. They will take those Scriptures with them because they've been internalized. So we might change up the Scriptures on the wall, you know a few times a year or whenever, but you want to make sure that you have something that you can apply so they can see it. Visuals are excellent. Invest in some appliques and get your children to not only just look at them on the wall, but actually memorize the Scriptures. And I'm Linda Leon with Expert Village.
