These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.                                                                     (Deuteronomy 6:1-5)

As a parent, I'm commanded to love God with ALL of me

Scripture teaches us we should love God with all of who we are.

Problem is…there are a lot of things that can distract us from loving God with all.

Parents, do you love God with all of you or with some of you? 

What would happen if someone came into your house and observed you?
What if they watch the TV shows that you watch?
What if they saw your computer’s history log?
What if they just listened to the language you use in your home?
If someone looked at your habits and priorities in spending…
What would they think about your heart for God?

The best thing I can do for my child is love God with all of me
