We enjoyed honoring our mothers this past Sunday on Mother’s Day. Each mother received a book along with six bookmarks.
“Women, to maximize their impact at home, at church, and in the community, must be strong and theologically savvy. Mothers, your children need you to be strong and theologically savvy. They need you to listen carefully to the preaching God provides you in your church, to meditate upon it carefully, and to help them understand and apply the same preaching they hear from your lap or the spot beside you in the pew. They need you to catechize yourself, to think carefully on God’s Word, so you are equipped and ready to catechize them. They need to hear the Word of Christ from the pulpit of their church but also from your lips at home. Who is better positioned than you to help them hear, understand, and apply.
Moms, you may not be a queen ruling a nation or a published author read by thousands, but you are a mother, and that is an honorable and high position and responsibility in which you are actually a type of queen and author. You lovingly govern and lead your children in the ways of the Lord at home and beyond, and your pen can be mighty as you scribble little encouraging notes to your kids striving always to point them to Christ and sound theology. So, whatever your gifts, how might the women of the Reformation encourage you to be more discerning and faithful at home with your children? How might you use your personality, skills, abilities, and theological wisdom to instill in your children a necessary theological framework?”
“Godly homes were the grassroots of the Reformation and they fueled it continually”
