Why it’s Important to Teach our Children God’s Word a Home
Why is it so important to teach our children about the bible at a young age? Isn’t Sunday school or Wednesday night’s children’s church enough?

Have you thought about how significant that is? Is your faith strong enough to do that? Could you die for God? Could you sacrifice your own child for God? Don’t be quick to answer that question!
