Fw: The Family Playbook Joshua 8:35

Team:

Here is a great message forwarded by Tom Oneill from Pastor and Offensive Lineman Jon Courson.

The Offensive Linemen are so important and are the ones in the Trenches Protecting the Quarterback.

Here we see a great way for all of us to Protect our families.

Younger people encourage your parents to know the Playbook.

Parents go over the Plays in the Playbook with your children and their friends.

Let the stories of the Playbook constantly be coming out of our mouths.

"If you continually ask yourself, What's important now?, you won't waste time on the trivial."
Lou Holtz Former Head Coach Notre Dame

"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path."
Psalm 119:105

It can start with a TXT message with a verse everyday. Then a prayer at dinner with our family (Huddle) to thank God for our food.


Now - Just Go! Finish Strong!

Phil 4:13

Coach Jon's Game Plan:

There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
Joshua 8:35

At the beginning of their conquest of the Promised Land, all of Israel and those in their company stopped to hear the Word.
Have your kids heard the Word?

The tremendous task before us is to read and discuss the Word of God with our kids over and over, day after day.

"We don't have time," you might say.

"There are battles to fight, wars to win, Little League games to play, staff meetings to attend."

Joshua could have easily said the same thing. But he realized that if we're not talking to our kids about the Word of God, then we're missing the mark completely.

And the stakes are getting higher because we're living in the last days. Dark will get darker and the dangers will become greater.

Mom and Dad, if you care about your son or daughter, you will take this responsibility seriously. It is a big mistake to assume our kids know the Word.

That's why Joshua said, "I know you're anxious to conquer the Land. I know you can't wait to drive out the enemy so you can settle in, grow your crops, and enjoy your family. But we're stopping here and now to go over the Word again."

The Word will be plastered on the wall of your soul and imprinted in your mind if you will take the time to review it time after time after time.
