Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio Deuteronomy 6: Catechize Your Children
Moses conveys a crucial message to the Israelites, stressing the significance of wholeheartedly loving the Lord with every aspect of their being. In this chapter, the Shema is presented, a key confession of faith that highlights the distinctiveness of YHWH as the one and only true God. Moses directs the people to faithfully adhere to God's laws, passing them down to their children and catechizing them in all aspects of daily life—whether at home, traveling, going to bed, or rising. Moses also cautions the Israelites against the peril of neglecting the Lord as they settle into the prosperous land of milk and honey that awaits them.
