Idea

Comment on Why Study The Shorter Catechism? (suggested by John Butler)

Todd Cobb

TODD—This is good; why not flesh it out into an article?

It is often observed that children can memorize a great deal of information. They can quote (at length) words to songs, quotes from their favorite movies, and recite, from memory, every single war ship and commander associated with “Zeno The Earth Destroyer” video game (I made that name up by the way). It is also observed that this “passive” memorization can influence our children’s behavior dramatically. As Christian parents, we should “actively” contribute to the education of our children by catechizing them in the principles and doctrine of our faith. There is no greater joy than hearing the recitation of biblical doctrine from the mouth of our children. I pray that God would grant us the desire, patience, and diligence to catechize our children.
