It is up to you as parents to not only teach your kids about Christ but to show them how to live a life as a follower of Him. They most likely won't learn it from school or television but will instead be shown a worldly, sin based lifestyle. The liberal and atheist movement is in full force now but we must stand firm in God's way of living, not man's. 'Strive to be Biblically accurate, rather than politically correct.'
Children are a reflection of us. They are little repeaters and they will imitate what they see. What is important to you, will plant a seed in them but you must cultivate it into their daily lives.
We need to teach them church isn't a Sunday routine but it is something we apply into our everyday lives. Build a foundation in them that will stand forever. 'On this Solid Rock I stand.'
I love this post. This is my goal as a parent. I have been (un)impressed with how many "Christians" are on the politically corect bandwagon lately. My desire is that the Word of God be our guide, not the waves of culture.
ReplyDelete"Strive to be Biblically accurate, rather than politically correct." I love that, and I fear that "political correctness" is so much in vogue with the media and schools that we are in an irreversible downward spiral as a nation. But our God is greater in the lives of those who love Him, and we CAN and MUST teach our children truth. Truth must and will ultimately win.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog. We all teach our children, the question is what are they learning? Dad
ReplyDeleteThere was a time (when I was a child) that parents' biblical teachings were reinforced by the schools, by their friends, by the church, etc., etc....even by TV programs. However, so sadly, that is no longer the case. You are so right, Angie. If we do not teach our children and grandchildren the Word of God, the world will teach them otherwise. It is up to us to point them in the right direction and to teach them to do the same for their children. If not, I am afraid it will not be done by anyone else. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life....they must learn it and live it. Love you, T.
