Our Tuesday night Bible Study for families was packed. What a wonderful testimony to a generation of parents that have taken on the charge to raise their children up in the Lord. Making the commitment that Bible Study is more important than all the other extra-curricular options out there.
I hear in the ministry circles out there that this is generation of parents that have turned over responsibility to the church to guide their children in spiritual matters. The truth is our time at church is such a small amount of time with them that it is imperative that parents take that cross back and you are.
All throughout the Bible it talks about children learning about God from their parents not the church. Well I have good news for you. The tide is shifting!
You are among a generation that is changing the attitude of parenting responsibilities. You are taking back your God given duty and taking raising your children to be Spiritual Champions seriously. If you always have been that parent, then you are a shining model for others to follow. Talk to other parents and encourage them.
I am proud to be part of a church of parents who are strong and willing to do the day in and out job of disciplining their children. Your children will be able to withstand the storm that is brewing. They WILL have to face what comes. We can't protect them from it, but we can prepare them for it.
It is our honor to be part of your Children's Ministry. Anything we can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask.
I am proud of all of you. You will fall short from time to time. Do not despair. God has already adjusted for where we lack. Surrender and live in faith. God is in control and He is a very Big God.
