Passing it on, how good are we at doing it, I know we are good at passing on to generation after generation things that absolutely don't matter, I know we are good at passing on to generation after generation bad habits/traits.

But how good are we at passing on the word of God. Is it written on your heart so that your children can witness it with their eyes, is it heard in their ears when you speak, have you become a living testimony of the word of God in the lives of those you encounter.

When people see you, do they see Jesus, when people hear you do they hear Jesus.
Israel was instructed every 7th year to read the the book of instruction and teach people the way to be blessed, by following the Lord. This was so that children who had not heard the word would hear of the immutable God they serve and then follow Him.

12 Call them all together—men, women, children, and the foreigners living in your towns—so they may hear this Book of Instruction and learn to fear the lord your God and carefully obey all the terms of these instructions. 13 Do this so that your children who have not known these instructions will hear them and will learn to fear the lord your God. Do this as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy.” Det 31:12-13
