Even if a parent doesn't know a lot about the Word themselves, they can learn along with their children, just as in all areas of interest. It is the enthusiasm of the heart that counts."<br /><br />Brian and I have heard similar comments like this on several occasions from committed Christian parents and it really grieves us. We have a burden for parents to be discipling their own children, and not just leave the job solely to those of us in children's ministry. I think Satan really wants us to believe we are not qualified to teach our children Biblical truth -- that that sort of thing should be left to the "experts". The Bible speaks of the priesthood of all believers, though. <br /><br />I am so blessed by the testimony of a friend of mine who is a new believer and a recovering drug addict. She has 5 children, 4 of whom live with her and have given their lives to Christ. She makes God's word a priority in her home. She doesn't have all the answers, but she teaches what she knows. She focuses on the Bible and it shows in her life and in the lives of her kids.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872409524279655809noreply@blogger.com
