Passing on Your Beliefs

In this booklet, Passing On Your Beliefs, we will focus on the first principles of family life, particularly from the vantagepoint of passing on the faith to our children. We will begin in session one by examining the breakdown of family life (which was predicted in 2 Timothy for "the last days") and the need for following the first principles to set our families in order. In session two, we will revisit a key family life passage, making sure that our basic framework for the family unit is as Christ designed it. In session three, we will look specifically at the basics of shaping the lives of our children around the first principles of the faith. In session four, we will look at the importance of the extended family—the local church—and its role in helping us build our children into strong, fruitful believers. In session five, we will look at the importance of managing our households well, especially the spiritual shaping of our children.  The sixth session is the integrating session, which unites all five sessions together, deepening your conviction and practice related to the principles.
