Bible Talks with Dad were another time to not only talk, but also to teach. They were just as the name suggests\u2014times in which the kids and Dad talked about the Bible.<\/p>\n

While Malachi Time<\/a> was usually one-on-one, Bible Talks with Dad were often two or three kids at a time with Dad.<\/p>\n

Malachi Time was often picture books or heart talks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Family devotions and family worship were usually the entire family together studying something or reading aloud from a devotional.<\/p>\n

Bible Talks, on the other hand, were just that\u2014talks about the Bible.<\/p>\n

Ray would call the kids in, open the Bible (often to the \u201cone anothers\u201d of Scripture), read a verse, and then he and the kids would just talk.<\/p>\n

Not a big, elaborate program. Not a lengthy discourse. Just \u201chow can we DO this verse?\u201d<\/p>\n

Simple. Doable. Talking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The reason Bible Talks were often two or three kids at a time is because we began Bible Talks with Dad with the boys when there was a big age\/learning level difference between the \u201colders\u201d and the \u201clittles.\u201d Thus, Ray could talk to the kids at their levels.<\/p>\n

Another benefit of Bible Talks is that they did not require any books. As a matter of fact, Bible Talks often took place on the road or all stretched out across the bed. Very informal. Read a verse (or bring a verse on a card) and talk about it. No fancy handbooks or concordances\u2014just what do you think this verse means or how can we apply this to our lives?<\/p>\n

Bible Talks are a good way to show kids that the Bible is relevant to our entire lives. That it is something we want to talk about, learn about, and live. That we should discuss applications in our lives all the time. Plus, it\u2019s just another \u201cterrific time to talk\u201d to our kids!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
