Not half-soaked

In the light of Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6 children should live in an environment dominated by Scripture.

We must not dismiss such passages as pertaining only to a simple agrarian culture. If life in the latter half of the twentieth century is more complex, it does not follow that we have less need for instruction in the law of God! If God wanted children then to think about everything in the light of His Word, then this practice is certainly necessary now. In a more complex society there is more to think about.

So teaching needs to happen all the time - walking, sitting, driving etc. God wants the children of his people soaked in His instruction, in an environment conditioned by his word.

What can this look like? Well, to begin with here are some ideas:
-hours of bible tapes/CD's as drive or go to sleep
-singing hymns as drive, walk, go to sleep
-conversation at table about all of life in light of God
-DW taught his children words for things by getting them to say the word ('tree') and then answering the question 'and who made (trees)?'
-family times reading / applying and praying in the Scriptures

Parents who want their children to be equipped to face the world that will exist twenty years from now will need to give this kind of comprehensive instruction in God's words.
