I like your appoach to this. It makes good sense. I think I'll use it. (You don't have a copywrite on it do you?) ;-) “That’s what I get for assuming!”

When we're teaching little children, we just teach Sunday. Older children we teach that though in the OT the Sabbath was Saturday, for the NT it is Sunday (and leave it at that). Then when they get a little older, we can give a fuller doctrinal explanation of why we believe in a change. DK,

I was more curious about if you teach them that the Sabbath is the 7th day of the week, or if Sunday is our new Lord's Day. I have no problem either way. I was just trying to get a feel for what others teach. Thanks for answering.

T.A., I preached on the Ten Commandments a couple of years ago. It was sad the people who didn't know them. Even more sad is the ones who still don't! DK, Since the ARE kids, we don't get into the doctrinal aspect of why we worship on Sunday. (They'll get that later). Anway, I assume you're referring to the practical teaching of the Lord's Day. We teach them that the day is to be a day of worship (and that it is modelled in Scripture as corporate worship)and rest and should be different from the others. We focus more on principles than precepts so they can learn to discern for themselves how best to honor God on His Day. In other words, we don't try to give them a laundry list of do's and don'ts. If their priorities are honoring God with worship and rest, their actions will take care of themselves. Sandi, Thanks for your visit and comment. As with so many areas of the Christian life, I believe balance is the key. What some consider reverence is nothing more than dead formalism. What others consider being "real" is nothing more than self-centered emotionalism. Somewhere between genuine heartfelt worship that honors our great God.

What do you teach the kids when you get to the part about the Sabbath? Just curious. I understand that this is off the point of the post, but I have a question.

Even more, how many believe they are still in need of being practiced through Jesus Christ. Jesus is, afterall the fulfillment of them. It is a great thing your wife is doing in teaching them to the children. God bless you. T.A. Cameron,
