Teach Your Children Well
Covenants don’t endure without parents who pass down its lessons.
And Moses said unto the people: Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage. … And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land … that thou shalt keep this service in this month. … Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and there shall be seen no leavened bread with thee in all thy borders. And thou shalt tell thy son in that day saying: It is because of that which the Lord did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.
— Exodus 13
America is a covenantal nation; its creed is put forth in the Declaration of Independence. The American covenant was born when Founders pledged themselves in support of this declaration “with a firm reliance upon Divine providence.”
