Passing on faith to the next generation will never happen by accident. It must be done intentionally. Our faith must be Lived and Taught. Our children need to See and Hear the message of Christ. Godly parenting is not about perfection but direction. What direction are we pointing our children? What would they say is the direction our lives are moving?
As one who now has all three children grown and on their own; I can personally testify that there is no greater joy than knowing that my children are walking in the truth. I love that they are stable financially and successful in their chosen fields of work; but the most heartwarming satisfaction I have is knowing that at the core of their being they want to be faithful to Jesus Christ our Lord.
As we dedicated all those babies to the Lord this past Sunday my prayer for them is that their parents and the church might take the vows they made seriously. May all of us work together to see that our children Know the Lord, Love the Lord and Obey the Lord!
