7 Impress them [the commands of the bible] 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. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

24 The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.

Deuteronomy 6:7-9, 24 (New International Version)

The moral, spiritual and relational foundation of people’s lives are

determined primarily by the age of 13. After that point, it is very difficult and rare to change.

Mark 10:13-16 (NIV)The Little Children and Jesus

 13People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14When Jesus saw this, he was indignant.

He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15I tell you the truth,

anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them

and blessed them.

Mark 4:8-9

Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times."  Then Jesus said, "He

who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Children’s hearts are like the good soil…soft and fertile.
