#FamilyWorship
“Listen, a family can arrive at church every week and still worship a different god all the six days other six days of the week except Sunday. Whatever we sacrifice most often to reveals what we worship most. Listen to this. Every family is building an altar somewhere. The question is not whether your family worships, our families worship. The question is who or what our families worship. The greatest investment you'll ever make is not in a portfolio, retirement account, or prosperity. The greatest investment you will ever make is building a family that knows God, loves God, remembers God, and worships God from generations to come.”

#TheologyBeforeBehavior
“Understand this. Notice Moses starts with theology before parenting. Many Christian parents, and I've been guilty of this too, focus on behavior. Look at this. Don't lie. Don't fight. That that don't work real well with my two grandsons. Be respectful. Come on. I'll any of us in here will talk to say yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am, please and thank you. Yes. That's important that we teach that. But theology is even more important. Moses starts with know who God is. Correct behavior comes from correct belief. It's not about behavior modification. It's about theological transformation as we teach.”
57s
#IdentityInChrist
“God's jealousy is not insecurity. It's covenant love. as a husband rightly desires or a wife rightly desires exclusive devotion from their spouse, God rightly desires exclusive worship from his people. The opposite of worship is not atheism. The opposite of worship is idolatry. We can't worship our job. We can't find our identity in anything in this world. We find our identity in Jesus. And if we wanna raise up healthy generations of children after us, they're gonna take the gospel to the world. They need to know that because the world keeps screaming, be like me, dress like me, act like me, speak like me. And God says, no. Be like me. I created you in my image.”
67s
#FaithfulGenerations
“A generation died off because they didn't follow God the way they needed to. The question is no longer, get this now, how do we get out of Egypt? Here's the question. The question is, how do we keep Egypt out of our hearts once we get to the promised land? How do we keep all of that out of our homes? Moses understands that every parent eventually learns this. Children are only one generation away from from getting what their parents sacrificed to build spiritually, emotionally, whatever that may be. This explains why Deuteronomy does this. Moses is not primarily giving parenting techniques. He is teaching Israel that the greatest investment in the next generation is a wholehearted devotion to God that is intentionally passed on to the next generation. For us, the greatest investment we can make is cultivating a home for our families, for god is known, loved, remembered, worshiped, and shared.”
56s
#FaithAtHome
“Look at this. Moses does not assign spiritual training, listen to this, primarily to priest. He assigned spiritual training to parents, to us. Grandparents, parents, together. The primary spiritual formation of a sinner was not the tabernacle. It was the home. Most Moses describes a lifestyle of discipleship, not weekly event, not a program, not a class, not an event, not a religion. Rather, he is describing a culture that should exist in our homes. Many of us think, well, I send my kids to church, but they go to church two or three hours a week, but they're with us the rest of the week. And any youth ministry will tell you that what we if what we teach at church is not backed up at the home, it won't be lived out at church either.”
60s
#HolyHome
“But the idea of training up literally means that we make our homes into a holy, righteous place. It literally means to lay things upon the altar. Our homes are places where every idea, every attitude, everything we watch, everything we do, how we act, we lay up on the altar because God should be glorified in everything that happens. That's what it's supposed to be. Think about this. Consider asking this question. What is your family's functional god, little g? Not theological god, big g. Think about that. Whatever whatever gets most attention, whatever gets most concern, whatever gets most discussion, whatever gets most sacrifice, that often reveals who we actually and what we actually worship. Would you agree? Listen”
45s
#JesusAtTheCenter
“Think about that. Whatever whatever gets most attention, whatever gets most concern, whatever gets most discussion, whatever gets most sacrifice, that often reveals who we actually and what we actually worship. Would you agree? Listen to me. Our kids know that what matters to us, we talk about it. So if we're not talking about the things of god and teaching our kids about that, then they're they're gonna take it about as seriously as we appear to because they're gonna interpret it that way. God needs to be the center of our home.”
34s
#GodlyHeritage
“Sometimes we gotta break the chains of those past generational sins to start a new heritage for our family. But but a lot of us have a phenomenal heritage we never talk about, and we need to share with them that. We need to be open with that because the greatest heritage of all is not what I leave in my bank account. It's what I leave spiritually to my children. That's what it is. That's the greatest heritage of all.”
64s
#JesusAboveAll
“Notice what it is. Notice the re this is kind of the reversal of the humiliation. Jesus humbled himself, but because he is god, because he paid the price, he is now to be exalted. He deserves that because he prayed the price. He is now highly exalted. The key to this passage is that the name is above all names. Ultimately, Jesus is given the name of Curios, which means master, owner, lord. It was a official title for Roman emperors. So when Jesus was was called lord, it meant that he was the master and owner of all life. He was the king of kings, the ruler over all creation. He is that. He's always been that. To be focused, gospel focused, again, is to be Jesus focused. It's all about him.”
34s
#StayAndWitness
“And when the doors opened, they could've left. Oh, God's gonna let us out of here. No. No. No. Paul knew God had a bigger plan, which was to be gospel focused in that moment. So what happened? They stayed right there. The guard comes up. He's about to take his life because they literally if they would escape, he would have to pay their price and go to prison for them. But they didn't leave. He said, no, we're still here. And his whole family got saved. That's who we're supposed to be. That's how we're supposed to live.”
