Thursday - Act On It - Reset Family
Families learn through routines. One blog author wrote: “What families regard as important is evidenced by the manner in which they spend their time.” How do we spend our time? Watching TV, playing video games, or shopping? Sadly, many families devote more time to these things than they do teaching their children about God, or just simply spending quality time together.” http://theresurgence.com/2009/08/19/discipleship-starts-at-home-part-1 Yesterday we talked about teaching Christian values in day to day life, but what about teaching them the source of those values? Today we’ll focus on reading the Bible together. Here are some tips from http://theresurgence.com/2009/08/22/discipleship-starts-at-home-part-2 Find a good children’s Bible. Remember to have fun with your children while learning the Bible. Keep the time brief to hold the child's attention. Recite the verse several times a day in your child's presence so it becomes familiar to them. Make flash cards with Scripture on one side and the book, chapter, and verse on the other. Put the verse to music or rhythm. Your child will enjoy singing and clapping their hands. Think of fun activities to make the verse fun and easy to remember. Tell them you are proud of them and have them recite it to someone else, like a grandparent or teacher. Pray with your children every day at meals and before they go to bed at night.

When our computers get bogged down and unmanageable, we know to hit a reset button to simply start over. Wouldn't a reset button be great in life? We know it would be complicated, with all our responsibilities and routines to consider, but imagine the freedom and refreshment of a new start in life! What would you do differently? What would you pay more attention to, and what would you ignore? How would you avoid getting bogged down and broken again? The great news is, in coming to earth as Jesus Christ, God has begun to "reset" our universe, our world, and even us. We're invited to start over with him, in what he calls his kingdom. We're invited to start a new life with a clean slate. What gets wiped clean, and lived differently, when God resets our lives? We'll explore how God resets these key areas of our lives: Reset: Goals Reset: Time Reset: Money Reset: Work Reset: Body & Food Reset: Sex & Marriage Reset: Family Reset: Compassion Reset: Nature Reset: Society Reset: Death Join us for the next several weeks, and invite God to reset your life.
