Jesus was
once asked, "What is the most important
commandment?" He replied by quoting
Deuteronomy 6:5, "Love the Lord your God with
all your heart, all your soul, and all your
strength. These commands are to be upon your
hearts. Impress them on your children."

If someone followed you around for a week and
recorded everything you did and thought, what
would they conclude were your top life priorities?

Will
You Have Regrets?
The
bookstores are filled with biographies of
"successful" people who look back and
say, "I wish I had spent more time with my
family. Now that I am old, I can see now the
things that matter...and I missed them." I
don't want to end my life on that note. God has
given me the task of parenting NOW.

Bios
Bio
for Dr. Rob Rienow (feel free to shorten
as needed):
Rob
married Amy in 1994 and they have been
blessed with 5 children. His most
important ministry is loving his wife
and leading his children to know God and
love Him. Rob's mom came to Christ
shortly after he was born so he was
blessed to be introduced to Jesus at an
early age. His parents divorced when he
was in high school and God used that
painful time in his life to give him a
heart for young people and families
going through dark times. He attended
Wheaton College, then completed an MA in
theology at Wheaton College Graduate
School, an MDiv from Trinity
International Divinity School, and a
Doctor of Ministry in Christian
Leadership from Gordon Conwell
Theological Seminary. He served as a
Youth Pastor at Wheaton Bible Church
from 1993-2004, and now serves there in
the role of Family Pastor. He is the
author of the book "God's Grand
Vision for the Home." He and his
wife Amy have founded a ministry called
Visionary Parenting which inspires
parents and grandparents to disciple
their children, and equips churches to
build biblical family ministries.
