It's OK to talk about God every day For 2000 years, faithful families have handed down the traditions, the wisdom and the teachings of our faith to the younger generations. It's kept the faith strong over the centuries, and also families strong. Compared to previous generations, we're busier, more stressed, more distracted and more self-absorbed.
Families spend less time with one another.
So much has been lost. One of the casualties is young people are growing up with less of an awareness of the faith that sustained and nourished their parents, grandparents and forebears for generations. But inculcating the faith in children and youth is not impossible. Congregations and families just need to be intentional about it. The laws contained principally in the books of Exodus, Deuteronomy and Leviticus are detailed and laborious, and to the modern reader seem hopelessly antiquated, dwelling on arcane aspects of hygiene and daily life in a preindustrial agricultural society.
