"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." ~ Deuteronomy 6:6&7

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." ~ Proverbs 22:6

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." ~ Ephesians 6:4

As Christians we're SUPPOSED to talk about it and impress it upon our families. Faith is not for spectators. God will hold us all accountable if we know His commands but don't tell others about them.

"Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear–hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh." ~ Jude 22&23

I did say that parents need to talk to their kids about God and the Bible, I just don't think one needs to listen to DC Talk or watch Veggietales in order to properly raise their children. An overbearing parent can do detriment to a child's development. I don't care what denomination someone is, EVERY individual has different views and beliefs. Kids need to have room to think about what God wants them to get from the Bible without someone standing over their shoulder 24-7 telling them how things are. Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he will never go hungry again. Have you ever seen "Carrie?"
