Sunday's Bible Trivia Question
What verse comes immediately before Deuteronomy 6:6-7, "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.'"
The Answer (Congratulations to Jessica, who got this right)
"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." (NKJV)
Ever notice how we talk constantly about the things we love? I'm passionate about children's ministry. If you get me talking about how to pass our faith to the next generation, beware -- I might not stop talking.
But we must never take Deuteronomy 6:6-7 apart from verse 5. My talk about God must flow out of a whole-hearted love for God, or my students will miss the point.
I promised you that Sunday's question was not actually a trivia question. Trivia doesn't matter. Sunday's question matters because it has two bigger questions behind it. Am I daily growing in my love for the Lord? Does it show?
