Some further thoughts on Reggie Joiner’s book Think Orange…
Family Value #5 Widen the Circle
When Moses delivered the message of Deuteronomy 6, he did not just call the parents in to hear how they are to pass on godly values to their children. He summoned all of Israel, making this a national issue, a tribal issue, a family issue (70). Reggie sums it up this way, “If you are a leader, Moses is suggesting that you recognize why it’s important to support the role of the family. If you are a parent, he is implying that the issue of your kids’ relationship with God is not your concern alone” (70). The church is here to help. Find some mentors to invest in your child’s life. Let’s all start thinking Orange together and impact the next generation for Christ in a whole new way!
