"The Word In The Hearts Of The Community" - Deuteronomy 6:7-9

Big Idea:
A full and right view of God, wonder at His power and works, understanding His covenant love to His people, all lead to us participating in that covenant love in all times and places with all those God has put in our lives.

Duane Christensen - Word Biblical Commentary
It is easy for us to have too small a view of God. The actual experience of God often shatters the inadequacy of our views to impress us with the awesomeness of "the living God" (5:26). That living God has now entrusted to us his commandments in order that we may keep them, and that we may teach them to our children. In so doing we will prosper.

Deuteronomy 6:20-25
When your son asks you in time to come, "What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the LORD our God has commanded you?' then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt. And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes. And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land that he swore to give to our fathers. And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are this day. And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.'

Deuteronomy 11:18-19 18
You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
