Meaningful Verses:  "We will not hide these truths from our children, but will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the LORD.  We will tell of his power and the mighty miracles he did." Psalm 78:4 (New Living Translation)

"But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him?  And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him?  And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?  And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?  That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news."  Romans 10: 14-15
