Deuteronomy 6:1-19

Our speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Steve Modrzejewski.  His message was based on Deuteronomy 6: 1-19 -- 

1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your Godcommanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments,which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged .3Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.4Hear , O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up .8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.9And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.10And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,11And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged , which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full ;12Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.13Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.14Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;15(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God bekindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.16Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.17Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.18And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,19To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken .

Mr Modrzejewski made a lot of excellent points about the above passage.  His main point was the importance of faith in the family.  Verses 1-3 emphasized that God and His Word should be honored and followed.  Verses 4-9 teaches us to share and teach God's Word.  Verses 10-11 tells us of God's provision.   And verses 12-19 contain warnings about forgetting God and serving idols; and God's blessings when we obey.  Mr Modrzejewski's excellent message, in full and in context, is available on DVD.
