October is Family Month at Conroe Church. We are basing this series off the story of Nehemiah and his courageous leadership to re-build the wall surrounding Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 4:13-14 (NKJV)
Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

The family is the foundational institution of society instituted by God. Families are close to God’s heart. Throughout time, God’s plan has always been for parents to raise up their children to know and love Him and walk in His ways. Society is in the shape it’s in today because families have not diligently taught their children.

Three simple truths:
1. It’s not the schools responsibility to raise our children.
2. It’s not Hollywood and Youtube’s responsibility to entertain our children.
3. We must take personal responsibility for the discipleship and Biblical literacy of our families.

If we don’t teach our children the Bible, the world will shove its evolutionary, humanistic, atheistic, or New Age religion down their throats.
