These are the questions that Brooke and I have been working on with our sons. There are Fifty-two of them so they fit easily into a schedule of memorizing one per week. Granted, we’re only two questions in, but I believe they have already begun to help our sons understand and meditate on Biblical truths. In fact, my oldest, Luke, committed his life to Christ just last week and I believe that God has used these truths to draw him to himself. These short questions and answers have made it easy to open conversations with them about God, who He is, and what He has done for us. They are part of the New City Catechism and if you’re looking for something you can work on together as a family, you should give it a try. Here is a sample of what you can expect:
