Simpson trial.\u00a0 On many occasions, just kind of watching all of the evidence fall out and you\u2019re looking at it\u2014you\u2019re trying to come to grips with, \u201cWhat is the truth?\u00a0 What is reality here?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think in any trial\u2014and that\u2019s what Pilate was involved with, a trial\u2014he was trying to come to grips with, \u201cWhat is the truth here?\u00a0 What\u2019s going on?\u00a0 Is this man <em>really<\/em> the king of the Jews?\u00a0 Is he<em> really<\/em> who He claimed to be?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPerhaps at that point, word had come to him that Jesus had claimed to be God in flesh.\u00a0 Perhaps that was unsettling to him.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know from the Scripture\u2014it\u2019s not there.\u00a0 I think all of us are supposed to grapple with the truth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s the foundation on which we build everything.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have truth, then what do you build on, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right!\u00a0 And what we\u2019re all about here at FamilyLife is helping <em>you<\/em>, in your life, to build your own life on the truth of Scripture; but we\u2019re also all about helping you build your children\u2019s lives and your grandchildren\u2019s lives as you raise them on that same truth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m thrilled that we have a very, very, very special guest.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Maybe the

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 She\u2019s just been working on a series of books that teach all kinds of character qualities that parents can instruct their children in.\u00a0 She does it by telling stories.\u00a0 She has already written two.\u00a0 One\u2019s on gratitude; the second one is on courage.\u00a0 She has decided to write this third one on truth.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s not just merely teaching your kids to <em>tell<\/em> the truth.\u00a0 It\u2019s about what you base your life on.\u00a0 Personally, I couldn\u2019t be more excited about these devotionals that she has put together for families, to be able to read aloud, because if there\u2019s ever been a time in our nation\u2019s history when families need to return to the truth of God\u2019s Word\u2014the truth about God, the truth about Jesus Christ and what He came to offer people, and how they live their lives based on the truth\u2014it\u2019s today!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo this is designed to be able to help you, as a parent, teach your children the truth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And these are stories, Barbara, that I guess you would want a child to be five or six?\u00a0 What\u2019s the youngest that a child\u2019s going to be able to understand the concepts that you\u2019re dealing with in this book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 In this particular book, probably five or six.\u00a0 I know the gratitude book\u2014I had a young mom of a four-year-old read it\u2014and she said the four-year-old got them all.\u00a0 I was a little bit surprised because I was thinking maybe five or six.\u00a0 So, it just kind of depends.\u00a0 I think parents need to know their own children.\u00a0 You might want to look over them and decide if all seven are appropriate for the ages of your children, but I would say somewhere in the five or six range and then through high school\u2014through 18.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want these stories to be interesting and engaging enough that a little one, who might not understand all of the concepts or everything that\u2019s happening in the story, will still be able to pay attention because it\u2019s an interesting and exciting story\u2014but not boring so that your 18-year-old says, \u201cOh, do I have to sit and listen to this kid-story? because they\u2019re not really kid-stories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, I remember sitting down and reading with my children when they were five, or six, or seven.\u00a0 It was easy, and they loved it.\u00a0 They wanted the time.\u00a0 If I tried to pull out a story book to read to my kids when they were 11, 12, 13, it was kind of like, \u201cDad, I\u2019m too old for this.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWill kids in their junior high and high school years sit through a story like this?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, I think they will.\u00a0 You know, they might complain.\u00a0 They might roll their eyes; but if it\u2019s just a part of what you\u2019re doing as a family\u2014they are not that long, anyway.\u00a0 The stories aren\u2019t going to take you two or three minutes to read\u2014each.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember reading <em>The Hiding Place <\/em>to our youngest two when they were in high school\u2014at night before bed.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of my favorite memories from their teenage years because I realized that they hadn\u2019t heard the whole thing.\u00a0 So I got Corrie ten Boom\u2019s story, and we read a chapter every night.\u00a0 They might have had to stay up after I read it and do some homework; but I realized when I did that, that kids may act like they\u2019re too old to sit and listen to a story that Mom or Dad reads\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, yes; oh, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 --but they really like it.\u00a0 There\u2019s something comforting; there\u2019s something wholesome; there\u2019s something warm about reading together as a family.\u00a0 So if you do it around the dinner table, or if you do it at night when the kids go to bed, or if you do it in the morning before everybody runs off to school, there\u2019s something about reading together that\u2019s very affirming and uniting, I think.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 There\u2019s something about a truly great story that is <em>riveting<\/em>.\u00a0 I mean, Barbara has seven great stories in this devotional.\u00a0 I\u2019m not just talking about average-great.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about ones that will cause you to return to the dinner table night after night, after night, if you wanted to do it seven nights in a row; or if you want, to take one per week for the dinner table and read it aloud. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, Bob, I\u2019m thinking back to Dr. Jerry Sittser, a guest here on <em>FamilyLife Today\u2014<\/em>and how he has a class for about 30 students where they get away\u2014and there\u2019s no electronics, there\u2019s no email, no music.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of a miniature monastic experience for about 30 days.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 They\u2019re favorite thing\u2014do you remember what he said?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 I remember what he said.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Their favorite thing was?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, I\u2019ve never forgotten it because it illustrates what we\u2019re talking about.\u00a0 The favorite thing that these students spoke about again and again from that class was when he would read to them every night.\u00a0 It was like, \u201cReally?\u00a0 College students like to be read to at night?\u201d\u00a0 But they did; they loved it!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And if you\u2019ve got a great story that, <em>again<\/em>, really talks about <em>tremendous<\/em> human beings who took a stand when it was going to cost them something\u2014but also when they were going to be rewarded with something as well\u2014that\u2019s all in here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBarbara paints it really beautifully.\u00a0 I know when she shared the stories, I wanted to know the punch line.\u00a0 I wanted to know, \u201cWhere is this going?\u00a0 How is it going to end?\u00a0 What about this person?\u00a0 Who is she?\u00a0 Who is he?\u00a0 Tell me more about them.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 One of the stories in the <em>Growing Together in Truth <\/em>book is about a little girl\u2014it\u2019s a little girl who\u2019s 12 years old?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 It\u2019s about a little girl who was 11 when this situation happened with her family.\u00a0 I discovered this story, initially, many, many years ago.\u00a0 It was one of those articles we talked about yesterday.\u00a0 I tore it out of the magazine, and I stuck it in a file because I was so amazed at what this family went through and how they stood strong for Christ in some incredible situations.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut this is a story about a little girl named Elizabeth, and Elizabeth grew up in a country called Armenia.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t even know where it was on the map.\u00a0 I had to go look.\u00a0 She grew up in a believing family\u2014her parents both knew Christ, and they taught her and her little sister to know the Bible.\u00a0 She grew up in that environment.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen she turned 11, it was the beginning of World War I.\u00a0 When the war started, life changed forever for this little girl and her little eight-year-old sister.\u00a0 In their village, as the soldiers began to march through on their way to the front, some of them needed to spend the night.\u00a0 They stayed with her parents and demanded food.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t have enough food to feed hundreds of soldiers coming through.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAfter a while, it began to become apparent that life was changed forever for their family.\u00a0 There began to be more and more pressure on her father to either join the army or to be exiled\u2014taken away by force.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe wanted to stay with his family.\u00a0 He was a leader in their village, and he didn\u2019t want to abandon his people.\u00a0 A friend of theirs came to their home one night and asked to speak to the father.\u00a0 They went off into another room, and the mother and the two little girls sat and listened and waited.\u00a0 When the friend left, the father came out and he said to Elizabeth, and her sister, and their mother, \u201cOur friend came and he told me that if I would deny Christ, he would let the four of us come live with him; and we would be safe until the war was over.\u201d\u00a0 But he said, \u201cI told him that I cannot deny my Christ.\u00a0 No matter what happens, I will not give up Christ.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe friend said, \u201cWell, I just wanted to offer that to you,\u201d and he left.\u00a0 That was the last they ever saw of him.\u00a0 A few days or weeks later (I can\u2019t remember exactly now), the army came, and they took Elizabeth\u2019s father.\u00a0 They drug him off, and they beat him severely.\u00a0 She found him.\u00a0 She was very much a tomboy\u2014she tells\u2014and she went off, chasing her father.\u00a0 Here she is 11\u2014and she\u2019s chasing these soldiers, who have her father, and she was not afraid\u2014although I think she should have been.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut she went off chasing these soldiers, and she found her father, where they had left him after they had beaten him.\u00a0 He was lying on the ground somewhere near a ditch and was bleeding.\u00a0 It was apparent that he was probably not going to live.\u00a0 She got down on the ground next to him on her hands and knees and put her face down next to her daddy\u2019s face, and she started talking to him.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe whispered to her and said, \u201cElizabeth, never give up Jesus.\u00a0 No matter how much they pressure you, never give up Jesus.\u00a0 If Christ died for us, and went through suffering for us, we can do that for Him, too.\u00a0 He will take care of us.\u201d\u00a0 That was the last she ever heard of her father because, after that, he was taken away and he was killed, along with many of the other men who refused to join the army.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo then it was just Elizabeth, and her little sister, and their mom.\u00a0 They began to try to figure out what they were going to do to survive\u2014how were they going to make it?\u00a0 Her mother decided that they must leave the village.\u00a0 So they packed up in the middle of the night and fled their village to a little bit bigger city that was nearby where they had some family.\u00a0 They lived with the family for a while.\u00a0 The mother got the two daughters and herself placed in Turkish families as servants so that they would have homes to live in and have places that were relatively safe.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen about a month or so later, the army came back in and they did the same tactics with the adults in that city that they had in the village with her father.\u00a0 Her mother came to her one day and said, \u201cMy turn has come.\u00a0 I must choose tomorrow whether I am going to give up Christ and deny Christ and swear allegiance to Mohammed, or I\u2019m going to be exiled.\u201d\u00a0 She said, \u201cI don\u2019t want to leave you girls.\u00a0 I know that life will be hard for you as orphans, but I cannot give up Christ.\u00a0 I will not swear allegiance to Mohammed.\u201d\u00a0 She said, \u201cI want to tell you that your time for testing will come, too.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe said, \u201cMohammed was a good man.\u00a0 You can learn about him; you can hear about him, but you must not worship him.\u00a0 Don\u2019t ever deny Christ.\u201d\u00a0 The next day she was taken with hundreds of other men, women, and teenagers\u2014off to exile.\u00a0 These two little girls <em>never<\/em> saw their parents again.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen I read that story for the first time, I remember thinking, \u201cOh, my gosh!\u00a0 Would I say that to my kids?\u00a0 Could I say that to my kids?\u00a0 Would I deny Christ so that I could stay with my eight-year-old and my 11-year-old\u2014so that they wouldn\u2019t be orphans?\u00a0 I thought, \u201cI don\u2019t know if I could do that.\u00a0 I hope I would!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut the <em>bravery<\/em> and the <em>courag<\/em>e that those two parents displayed was stunning to me.\u00a0 As I read it, I thought, \u201cThis is a story that needs to be told\u2014even though it happened almost 100 years ago\u2014the faith and the courage of these two parents\u2014<em>because<\/em> they banked their life on the truth of Scripture\u2014they believed that Jesus was who He said He was\u2014they believed that the Word of God was true, and it was inspired and there were no mistakes in it\u2014they were willing to die for that.\u00a0 Because they lived that way, these two girls also lived that way.\u00a0 God protected these two girls.\u00a0 They ended up in an orphanage.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tElizabeth goes on in her book to tell about how she met the soldier who actually killed her father and how she told him, \u201cFirst,\u201d she said, \u201cI was so angry I wanted to kill him.\u00a0 Then,\u201d she said, \u201cI remembered what my mother said.\u00a0 My mother said, \u2018We must <em>forgive <\/em>because Christ forgave us.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 So she looked at him and said, \u201c\u2018I must forgive you because the Christ that I belong to and the Christ that I worship forgave you.\u00a0 Therefore, I forgive you for killing my father.\u2019\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe\u2019s 11!\u00a0 Eleven!\u00a0 But that\u2019s the power of knowing the truth in a person\u2019s life.\u00a0 So, I included that story.\u00a0 It was one of the first stories that I found that I just thought, \u201cI <em>have<\/em> to put this one in.\u201d\u00a0 The inspiration for me, as a mother, in reading what this mom and dad did, was profound.\u00a0 Yet, I want these 11- and 12-year-olds today, who are living in our country, to hear what an 11- or 12-year-old is capable of.\u00a0 An 11- or 12-year-old can stand up for Christ.\u00a0 She or he can stand up for the Gospel, no matter how difficult the circumstances might be.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 As I was listening to you, Barbara, I was thinking, \u201cWould I be that kind of father?\u201d\u00a0 Like you, I would say, \u201cI hope I would!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere\u2019s a man who knew the truth and had a choice of whether to believe it and act on it.\u00a0 Bob, you know one of the things we\u2019ve said here, as a part of our ministry, we believe convictions are forged where life and truth collide\u2014where we hit circumstances, and they run up against the truth of what God has said in Scripture and what He calls us to believe, and do, and act on.\u00a0 Today, as never before\u2014and I\u2019ve been saying this repeatedly\u2014there\u2019s a need today for people to courageously believe the truth and obey it\u2014to do it, not on a battleground on foreign soil, but to do it on the battleground of your home\u2014for your marriage\u2014for your family.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere are just some people giving up on their marriages today, and they are not believing the truth of the Bible\u2014that God says, \u201cFor this cause a man shall leave . . . shall cleave . . . and shall become one.\u201d\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t meant to be reversed.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t meant to be torn apart.\u00a0 That kind of conviction around the truth of Scripture\u2014we desperately need in our families today.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 That mother who went to her kids and said, \u201cGoodbye,\u201d\u2014essentially\u2014was saying that because what she really believed was that to deny Christ was unthinkable\u2014that God would take care of her children\u2014that He was, in fact, going to be a better provider and protector of them than she would if she were to compromise her faith to try to stay behind.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 She believed things to be true in the face of adversity.\u00a0 That\u2019s where her resolute commitment to truth shines through in this story.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Exactly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You, later, came across a book that had been written by this 11-year-old when she became an adult?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, that\u2019s right.\u00a0 I was doing research to try to beef-up the parts of the story that I didn\u2019t know.\u00a0 We just went online and found that Elizabeth, when she came to the States after she had grown up and gotten married, wrote a book telling her story.\u00a0 It reads like <em>The Hiding Place <\/em>by Corrie ten Boom.\u00a0 I could not put it down.\u00a0 It is a remarkable story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat was such a treasure was when I opened that book (because I ordered it online and it came in the mail), I took it out of the little packing container; and I flipped open the front cover\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 This was a used copy of the book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 A used copy, paperback, printed in the \u201830s\u2014old book.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Out of print today\u2014the book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, I\u2019m sure.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 But I opened the front cover of the book and there, inside the front cover, was her name.\u00a0 She had signed the book; and she said, \u201cTo the Reader:\u00a0 Here are some verses that got me through these really difficult years after my parents died.\u201d\u00a0 She listed like 10 or 11 references\u2014and then she wrote something at the bottom; and she signed her name, \u201cElizabeth Payne;\u201d and she also signed it in Armenian underneath that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI felt like I had been given a million dollars or something\u2014this treasure of this life that was lived for Christ!\u00a0 This woman, who lost her parents, and didn\u2019t turn on God and didn\u2019t say, \u201cGod, where were You?\u00a0 Why did You abandon me?\u201d\u00a0 Instead, she <em>believed<\/em> God, and she believed that she would see her parents again someday in heaven.\u00a0 She <em>knew<\/em> that God was in control.\u00a0 She <em>knew<\/em> God was sovereign.\u00a0 She <em>knew<\/em> He would be there for her, and she <em>embraced<\/em> that.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe lived to write this story of her life.\u00a0 It was like winning the lottery or something\u2014having that book in my hands was a treasure!\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And you believe that truth does cost us, but there\u2019s also a benefit.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, there\u2019s a benefit.\u00a0 I think sometimes we look at the cost.\u00a0 We look at what Elizabeth had to decide and what her mother and father had to decide, but we don\u2019t look at the reward.\u00a0 We don\u2019t look at the hope.\u00a0 We don\u2019t look at the benefit, on down the road.\u00a0 Yes, it cost her\u2014her parents, but there will be a reward in heaven.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey believed that God would take care of their children without them.\u00a0 Elizabeth went on to have a very successful life\u2014she and her sister\u2014because they believed God.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 The passage I was thinking of were the words of Christ, \u201cYou shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.\u201d\u00a0 What we, as parents, must do today with our children, and our grandchildren, is that we must train them in the truth so when life\u2019s circumstances bump into them, they know what to do.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey are <em>free <\/em>to make the right choice and not be <em>enslaved <\/em>to sin, to foolishness\u2014to going their own way and going against God.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 The verse that I wrote on Elizabeth\u2019s story, in the book, comes from \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPsalm 119, which is the longest psalm.\u00a0 It has all of these wonderful verses about the truth; but the one that I chose for her is the one that says, \u201cYour commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever mine.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tElizabeth was wiser than her enemies because she believed in the Scripture\u2014so did her mom and so did her dad.\u00a0 They survived, and God protected them because they staked their lives on the truth.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 So, the question for every parent, \u201cHow are you teaching the truth to your children?\u201d\u00a0 There are three ways that you can do it\u2014that we\u2019re talking about here.\u00a0 Number one:\u00a0 teach them right out of the Bible.\u00a0 Just read the truth of the Scripture, as Barbara did, and let them sit and hear about the truth of God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 Secondly, you can tell them great stories\u2014stories like young ladies like Elizabeth and how their lives were lived, based upon the truth.\u00a0 Then, third (and I\u2019ve got to believe this was one of the most powerful things in Elizabeth\u2019s life), was that she <em>saw<\/em>\u2014she <em>saw<\/em> the truth being lived out by her parents. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, she <em>saw<\/em> her daddy give up his life for the truth, and then her mother.\u00a0 You know, we can\u2019t say one thing and do another.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 We <em>have <\/em>to be a model of that same truth with our children.\u00a0 We\u2019re not going to do it perfectly, but you know what?\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t mean we shouldn\u2019t ask God to give us the ability and the courage to be able to do it in our own lives.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Stories like this\u2014stories you\u2019ve shared\u2014spark a conversation in a family.\u00a0 I mean, after you\u2019ve read a story like that, there are lots of questions.\u00a0 There\u2019s lots of interaction that can go on\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 --that can help you drive these truths deeper into the heart of

really like it.\u00a0 There\u2019s something about reading together that\u2019s very affirming and uniting, I think.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Tuesday, October 25<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Our host is the President of FamilyLife\u00ae, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine.\u00a0 We\u2019ll talk today about reading stories out loud to our children\u2014stories that drive home that God\u2019s Word is true.\u00a0 Stay tuned.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWelcome to <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em><em>\u00a0 <\/em>Thanks for joining us.\u00a0 You know, one of those unforgettable scenes in the Scriptures is the scene where Jesus is on trial before Pontius Pilate\u2014where He has been brought before Pilate, the Roman procurator\u2014and charges have been made that He\u2019s not loyal to Caesar.\u00a0 Pilate recognizes that\u00a0 this is a set-up, and he doesn\u2019t really want to condemn Jesus.\u00a0 He looks for a way out.\u00a0 In the midst of this scene, there\u2019s this question that gets posed by Pilate that hangs in the air.\u00a0 It is never resolved.\u00a0 The question that Pilate asks is, \u201cWhat is truth?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou read it in the Bible; and you go, \u201cIs he just all of the sudden lapsing into some philosophical, metaphorical\u2014is he just drifting back to his philosophy class from freshman\u2014college?\u201d\u00a0 But he is really searching for, \u201cWhat\u2019s real?\u00a0 What\u2019s true?\u201d in the midst of the most dramatic moment in all of human history.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 I was thinking back to the O.J. Simpson trial.\u00a0 On many occasions, just kind of watching all of the evidence fall out and you\u2019re looking at it\u2014you\u2019re trying to come to grips with, \u201cWhat is the truth?\u00a0 What is reality here?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think in any trial\u2014and that\u2019s what Pilate was involved with, a trial\u2014he was trying to come to grips with, \u201cWhat is the truth here?\u00a0 What\u2019s going on?\u00a0 Is this man <em>really<\/em> the king of the Jews?\u00a0 Is he<em> really<\/em> who He claimed to be?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPerhaps at that point, word had come to him that Jesus had claimed to be God in flesh.\u00a0 Perhaps that was unsettling to him.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know from the Scripture\u2014it\u2019s not there.\u00a0 I think all of us are supposed to grapple with the truth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s the foundation on which we build everything.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have truth, then what do you build on, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right!\u00a0 And what we\u2019re all about here at FamilyLife is helping <em>you<\/em>, in your life, to build your own life on the truth of Scripture; but we\u2019re also all about helping you build your children\u2019s lives and your grandchildren\u2019s lives as you raise them on that same truth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m thrilled that we have a very, very, very special guest.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Maybe the most special guest we have ever had on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<em>\u00a0<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 For me, it is.\u00a0 (Laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s my bride of 39 years.\u00a0 Barbara joins us on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWelcome back, Sweetheart.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Thanks.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 She\u2019s just been working on a series of books that teach all kinds of character qualities that parents can instruct their children in.\u00a0 She does it by telling stories.\u00a0 She has already written two.\u00a0 One\u2019s on gratitude; the second one is on courage.\u00a0 She has decided to write this third one on truth.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s not just merely teaching your kids to <em>tell<\/em> the truth.\u00a0 It\u2019s about what you base your life on.\u00a0 Personally, I couldn\u2019t be more excited about these devotionals that she has put together for families, to be able to read aloud, because if there\u2019s ever been a time in our nation\u2019s history when families need to return to the truth of God\u2019s Word\u2014the truth about God, the truth about Jesus Christ and what He came to offer people, and how they live their lives based on the truth\u2014it\u2019s today!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo this is designed to be able to help you, as a parent, teach your children the truth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 And these are stories, Barbara, that I guess you would want a child to be five or six?\u00a0 What\u2019s the youngest that a child\u2019s going to be able to understand the concepts that you\u2019re dealing with in this book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 In this particular book, probably five or six.\u00a0 I know the gratitude book\u2014I had a young mom of a four-year-old read it\u2014and she said the four-year-old got them all.\u00a0 I was a little bit surprised because I was thinking maybe five or six.\u00a0 So, it just kind of depends.\u00a0 I think parents need to know their own children.\u00a0 You might want to look over them and decide if all seven are appropriate for the ages of your children, but I would say somewhere in the five or six range and then through high school\u2014through 18.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want these stories to be interesting and engaging enough that a little one, who might not understand all of the concepts or everything that\u2019s happening in the story, will still be able to pay attention because it\u2019s an interesting and exciting story\u2014but not boring so that your 18-year-old says, \u201cOh, do I have to sit and listen to this kid-story? because they\u2019re not really kid-stories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, I remember sitting down and reading with my children when they were five, or six, or seven.\u00a0 It was easy, and they loved it.\u00a0 They wanted the time.\u00a0 If I tried to pull out a story book to read to my kids when they were 11, 12, 13, it was kind of like, \u201cDad, I\u2019m too old for this.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWill kids in their junior high and high school years sit through a story like this?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, I think they will.\u00a0 You know, they might complain.\u00a0 They might roll their eyes; but if it\u2019s just a part of what you\u2019re doing as a family\u2014they are not that long, anyway.\u00a0 The stories aren\u2019t going to take you two or three minutes to read\u2014each.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember reading <em>The Hiding Place <\/em>to our youngest two when they were in high school\u2014at night before bed.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of my favorite memories from their teenage years because I realized that they hadn\u2019t heard the whole thing.\u00a0 So I got Corrie ten Boom\u2019s story, and we read a chapter every night.\u00a0 They might have had to stay up after I read it and do some homework; but I realized when I did that, that kids may act like they\u2019re too old to sit and listen to a story that Mom or Dad reads\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, yes; oh, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 --but they really like it.\u00a0 There\u2019s something comforting; there\u2019s something wholesome; there\u2019s something warm about reading together as a family.\u00a0 So if you do it around the dinner table, or if you do it at night when the kids go to bed, or if you do it in the morning before everybody runs off to school, there\u2019s something about reading together that\u2019s very affirming and uniting, I think.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 There\u2019s something about a truly great story that is <em>riveting<\/em>.\u00a0 I mean, Barbara has seven great stories in this devotional.\u00a0 I\u2019m not just talking about average-great.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about ones that will cause you to return to the dinner table night after night, after night, if you wanted to do it seven nights in a row; or if you want, to take one per week for the dinner table and read it aloud. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, Bob, I\u2019m thinking back to Dr. Jerry Sittser, a guest here on <em>FamilyLife Today\u2014<\/em>and how he has a class for about 30 students where they get away\u2014and there\u2019s no electronics, there\u2019s no email, no music.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of a miniature monastic experience for about 30 days.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0

because it illustrates what we\u2019re talking about.\u00a0 The favorite thing that these students spoke about again and again from that class was when he would read to them every night.\u00a0 It was like, \u201cReally?\u00a0 College students like to be read to at night?\u201d\u00a0 But they did; they loved it!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And if you\u2019ve got a great story that, <em>again<\/em>, really talks about <em>tremendous<\/em> human beings who took a stand when it was going to cost them something\u2014but also when they were going to be rewarded with something as well\u2014that\u2019s all in here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBarbara paints it really beautifully.\u00a0 I know when she shared the stories, I wanted to know the punch line.\u00a0 I wanted to know, \u201cWhere is this going?\u00a0 How is it going to end?\u00a0 What about this person?\u00a0 Who is she?\u00a0 Who is he?\u00a0 Tell me more about them.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 One of the stories in the <em>Growing Together in Truth <\/em>book is about a little girl\u2014it\u2019s a little girl who\u2019s 12 years old?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 It\u2019s about a little girl who was 11 when this situation happened with her family.\u00a0 I discovered this story, initially, many, many years ago.\u00a0 It was one of those articles we talked about yesterday.\u00a0 I tore it out of the magazine, and I stuck it in a file because I was so amazed at what this family went through and how they stood strong for Christ in some incredible situations.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut this is a story about a little girl named Elizabeth, and Elizabeth grew up in a country called Armenia.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t even know where it was on the map.\u00a0 I had to go look.\u00a0 She grew up in a believing family\u2014her parents both knew Christ, and they taught her and her little sister to know the Bible.\u00a0 She grew up in that environment.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen she turned 11, it was the beginning of World War I.\u00a0 When the war started, life changed forever for this little girl and her little eight-year-old sister.\u00a0 In their village, as the soldiers began to march through on their way to the front, some of them needed to spend the night.\u00a0 They stayed with her parents and demanded food.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t have enough food to feed hundreds of soldiers coming through.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAfter a while, it began to become apparent that life was changed forever for their family.\u00a0 There began to be more and more pressure on her father to either join the army or to be exiled\u2014taken away by force.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe wanted to stay with his family.\u00a0 He was a leader in their village, and he didn\u2019t want to abandon his people.\u00a0 A friend of theirs came to their home one night and asked to speak to the father.\u00a0 They went off into another room, and the mother and the two little girls sat and listened and waited.\u00a0 When the friend left, the father came out and he said to Elizabeth, and her sister, and their mother, \u201cOur friend came and he told me that if I would deny Christ, he would let the four of us come live with him; and we would be safe until the war was over.\u201d\u00a0 But he said, \u201cI told him that I cannot deny my Christ.\u00a0 No matter what happens, I will not give up Christ.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe friend said, \u201cWell, I just wanted to offer that to you,\u201d and he left.\u00a0 That was the last they ever saw of him.\u00a0 A few days or weeks later (I can\u2019t remember exactly now), the army came, and they took Elizabeth\u2019s father.\u00a0 They drug him off, and they beat him severely.\u00a0 She found him.\u00a0 She was very much a tomboy\u2014she tells\u2014and she went off, chasing her father.\u00a0 Here she is 11\u2014and she\u2019s chasing these soldiers, who have her father, and she was not afraid\u2014although I think she should have been.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut she went off chasing these soldiers, and she found her father, where they had left him after they had beaten him.\u00a0 He was lying on the ground somewhere near a ditch and was bleeding.\u00a0 It was apparent that he was probably not going to live.\u00a0 She got down on the ground next to him on her hands and knees and put her face down next to her daddy\u2019s face, and she started talking to him.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe whispered to her and said, \u201cElizabeth, never give up Jesus.\u00a0 No matter how much they pressure you, never give up Jesus.\u00a0 If Christ died for us, and went through suffering for us, we can do that for Him, too.\u00a0 He will take care of us.\u201d\u00a0 That was the last she ever heard of her father because, after that, he was taken away and he was killed, along with many of the other men who refused to join the army.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo then it was just Elizabeth, and her little sister, and their mom.\u00a0 They began to try to figure out what they were going to do to survive\u2014how were they going to make it?\u00a0 Her mother decided that they must leave the village.\u00a0 So they packed up in the middle of the night and fled their village to a little bit bigger city that was nearby where they had some family.\u00a0 They lived with the family for a while.\u00a0 The mother got the two daughters and herself placed in Turkish families as servants so that they would have homes to live in and have places that were relatively safe.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen about a month or so later, the army came back in and they did the same tactics with the adults in that city that they had in the village with her father.\u00a0 Her mother came to her one day and said, \u201cMy turn has come.\u00a0 I must choose tomorrow whether I am going to give up Christ and deny Christ and swear allegiance to Mohammed, or I\u2019m going to be exiled.\u201d\u00a0 She said, \u201cI don\u2019t want to leave you girls.\u00a0 I know that life will be hard for you as orphans, but I cannot give up Christ.\u00a0 I will not swear allegiance to Mohammed.\u201d\u00a0 She said, \u201cI want to tell you that your time for testing will come, too.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe said, \u201cMohammed was a good man.\u00a0 You can learn about him; you can hear about him, but you must not worship him.\u00a0 Don\u2019t ever deny Christ.\u201d\u00a0 The next day she was taken with hundreds of other men, women, and teenagers\u2014off to exile.\u00a0 These two little girls <em>never<\/em> saw their parents again.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen I read that story for the first time, I remember thinking, \u201cOh, my gosh!\u00a0 Would I say that to my kids?\u00a0 Could I say that to my kids?\u00a0 Would I deny Christ so that I could stay with my eight-year-old and my 11-year-old\u2014so that they wouldn\u2019t be orphans?\u00a0 I thought, \u201cI don\u2019t know if I could do that.\u00a0 I hope I would!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut the <em>bravery<\/em> and the <em>courag<\/em>e that those two parents displayed was stunning to me.\u00a0 As I read it, I thought, \u201cThis is a story that needs to be told\u2014even though it happened almost 100 years ago\u2014the faith and the courage of these two parents\u2014<em>because<\/em> they banked their life on the truth of Scripture\u2014they believed that Jesus was who He said He was\u2014they believed that the Word of God was true, and it was inspired and there were no mistakes in it\u2014they were willing to die for that.\u00a0 Because they lived that way, these two girls also lived that way.\u00a0 God protected these two girls.\u00a0 They ended up in an orphanage.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tElizabeth goes on in her book to tell about how she met the soldier who actually killed her father and how she told him, \u201cFirst,\u201d she said, \u201cI was so angry I wanted to kill him.\u00a0 Then,\u201d she said, \u201cI remembered what my mother said.\u00a0 My mother said, \u2018We must <em>forgive <\/em>because Christ forgave us.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 So she looked at him and said, \u201c\u2018I must forgive you because the Christ that I belong to and the Christ that I worship forgave you.\u00a0 Therefore, I forgive you for killing my father.\u2019\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe\u2019s 11!\u00a0 Eleven!\u00a0 But that\u2019s the power of knowing the truth in a person\u2019s life.\u00a0 So, I included that story.\u00a0 It was one of the first stories that I found that I just thought, \u201cI <em>have<\/em> to put this one in.\u201d\u00a0 The inspiration for me, as a mother, in reading what this mom and dad did, was profound.\u00a0 Yet, I want these 11- and 12-year-olds today, who are living in our country, to hear what an 11- or 12-year-old is capable of.\u00a0 An 11- or 12-year-old can stand up for Christ.\u00a0 She or he can stand up for the Gospel, no matter how difficult the circumstances might be.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 As I was listening to you, Barbara, I was thinking, \u201cWould I be that kind of father?\u201d\u00a0 Like you, I would say, \u201cI hope I would!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere\u2019s a man who knew the truth and had a choice of whether to believe it and act on it.\u00a0 Bob, you know one of the things we\u2019ve said here, as a part of our ministry, we believe convictions are forged where life and truth collide\u2014where we hit circumstances, and they run up against the truth of what God has said in Scripture and what He calls us to believe, and do, and act on.\u00a0 Today, as never before\u2014and I\u2019ve been saying this repeatedly\u2014there\u2019s a need today for people to courageously believe the truth and obey it\u2014to do it, not on a battleground on foreign soil, but to do it on the battleground of your home\u2014for your marriage\u2014for your family.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere are just some people giving up on their marriages today, and they are not believing the truth of the Bible\u2014that God says, \u201cFor this cause a man shall leave . . . shall cleave . . . and shall become one.\u201d\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t meant to be reversed.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t meant to be torn apart.\u00a0 That kind of conviction around the truth of Scripture\u2014we desperately need in our families today.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 That mother who went to her kids and said, \u201cGoodbye,\u201d\u2014essentially\u2014was saying that because what she really believed was that to deny Christ was unthinkable\u2014that God would take care of her children\u2014that He was, in fact, going to be a better provider and protector of them than she would if she were to compromise her faith to try to stay behind.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 She believed things to be true in the face of adversity.\u00a0 That\u2019s where her resolute commitment to truth shines through in this story.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Exactly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You, later, came across a book that had been written by this 11-year-old when she became an adult?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, that\u2019s right.\u00a0 I was doing research to try to beef-up the parts of the story that I didn\u2019t know.\u00a0 We just went online and found that Elizabeth, when she came to the States after she had grown up and gotten married, wrote a book telling her story.\u00a0 It reads like <em>The Hiding Place <\/em>by Corrie ten Boom.\u00a0 I could not put it down.\u00a0 It is a remarkable story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat was such a treasure was when I opened that book (because I ordered it online and it came in the mail), I took it out of the little packing container; and I flipped open the front cover\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 This was a used copy of the book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 A used copy, paperback, printed in the \u201830s\u2014old book.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Out of print today\u2014the book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0

cover of the book and there, inside the front cover, was her name.\u00a0 She had signed the book; and she said, \u201cTo the Reader:\u00a0 Here are some verses that got me through these really difficult years after my parents died.\u201d\u00a0 She listed like 10 or 11 references\u2014and then she wrote something at the bottom; and she signed her name, \u201cElizabeth Payne;\u201d and she also signed it in Armenian underneath that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI felt like I had been given a million dollars or something\u2014this treasure of this life that was lived for Christ!\u00a0 This woman, who lost her parents, and didn\u2019t turn on God and didn\u2019t say, \u201cGod, where were You?\u00a0 Why did You abandon me?\u201d\u00a0 Instead, she <em>believed<\/em> God, and she believed that she would see her parents again someday in heaven.\u00a0 She <em>knew<\/em> that God was in control.\u00a0 She <em>knew<\/em> God was sovereign.\u00a0 She <em>knew<\/em> He would be there for her, and she <em>embraced<\/em> that.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe lived to write this story of her life.\u00a0 It was like winning the lottery or something\u2014having that book in my hands was a treasure!\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And you believe that truth does cost us, but there\u2019s also a benefit.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, there\u2019s a benefit.\u00a0 I think sometimes we look at the cost.\u00a0 We look at what Elizabeth had to decide and what her mother and father had to decide, but we don\u2019t look at the reward.\u00a0 We don\u2019t look at the hope.\u00a0 We don\u2019t look at the benefit, on down the road.\u00a0 Yes, it cost her\u2014her parents, but there will be a reward in heaven.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey believed that God would take care of their children without them.\u00a0 Elizabeth went on to have a very successful life\u2014she and her sister\u2014because they believed God.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 The passage I was thinking of were the words of Christ, \u201cYou shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.\u201d\u00a0 What we, as parents, must do today with our children, and our grandchildren, is that we must train them in the truth so when life\u2019s circumstances bump into them, they know what to do.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey are <em>free <\/em>to make the right choice and not be <em>enslaved <\/em>to sin, to foolishness\u2014to going their own way and going against God.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 The verse that I wrote on Elizabeth\u2019s story, in the book, comes from \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPsalm 119, which is the longest psalm.\u00a0 It has all of these wonderful verses about the truth; but the one that I chose for her is the one that says, \u201cYour commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever mine.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tElizabeth was wiser than her enemies because she believed in the Scripture\u2014so did her mom and so did her dad.\u00a0 They survived, and God protected them because they staked their lives on the truth.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 So, the question for every parent, \u201cHow are you teaching the truth to your children?\u201d\u00a0 There are three ways that you can do it\u2014that we\u2019re talking about here.\u00a0 Number one:\u00a0 teach them right out of the Bible.\u00a0 Just read the truth of the Scripture, as Barbara did, and let them sit and hear about the truth of God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 Secondly, you can tell them great stories\u2014stories like young ladies like Elizabeth and how their lives were lived, based upon the truth.\u00a0 Then, third (and I\u2019ve got to believe this was one of the most powerful things in Elizabeth\u2019s life), was that she <em>saw<\/em>\u2014she <em>saw<\/em> the truth being lived out by her parents. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, she <em>saw<\/em> her daddy give up his life for the truth, and then her mother.\u00a0 You know, we can\u2019t say one thing and do another.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 We <em>have <\/em>to be a model of that same truth with our children.\u00a0 We\u2019re not going to do it perfectly, but you know what?\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t mean we shouldn\u2019t ask God to give us the ability and the courage to be able to do it in our own lives.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Stories like this\u2014stories you\u2019ve shared\u2014spark a conversation in a family.\u00a0 I mean,
