In the church at home the children are to learn to pray and to trust in God. Teach them to repeat God’s law. Concerning the commandments the Israelites were instructed: “Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 6:7. Come in humility, with a heart full of tenderness, and with a sense of the temptations and dangers before yourselves and your children; by faith bind them to the altar, entreating for them the care of the Lord. Train the children to offer their simple words of prayer. Tell them that God delights to have them call upon Him. {CT 110.2}

I menigheden derhjemme skal børn lære at bede og stole på Gud. Lær dem at gentage Guds lov. Angående budene blev israelitterne undervist således: »Du skal indprente dine børn dem og tale om dem, både når du sidder i dit hus, og når du vandrer på vejen, både når du lægger dig, og når du står op.« 5. Mosebog 6,7. Kom i ydmyghed, med et hjerte fuld af ømhed, og med en fornemmelse for de fristelser og farer der ligger foran jer selv og jeres børn; bind dem i tro til alteret, påbyd dem instændigt Herrens omsorg. Lær børn at sende enkle ord i bøn. Fortæl dem at Gud fryder sig ved at få dem til at kalde på Ham.
