What would it be like?

...to have 100kids, 500 kids, 1000 kids in our church youth groups...to have an incredible worship team for Wednesday night services where our kids are smitten with the love for God?..... to have buses that pick up kids who can't find rides to church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday night?
  If God really does want to touch and rescue this young generation, is He waiting for the older men, all the adults and the moms and the dads to dream on behalf of the young people?  Where are the dreamers?-- Ron Luce  RE-CREATE

Today is a good day

Deuteronomy 6 the blueprint for a successful family

D6:5 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."
Most of us know that we are commanded to love God with all that we are and with everything that we have. The question is; how do we train children and teenagers to do this as well? How can we raise our kids so that they will love God also? Deuteronomy 6 gives us some answer to this:
1) Make great efforts to get God's word into the hearts of our children. In Verse 6 it says impress them upon also verse 8 it says write them on your doorposts, and tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
This sounds like more effort than just getting our kids to show up for church on Sunday? It sounds like we will have to work at teaching our kids God's word. 
2) Remember what God has done for us in the past
3)Serve God only
4) Don't follow the ungodly ways of the people around us.
