There is one gigantic pitfall that is too often overlooked by Christian parents. It is something so basic to what we believe as Christians, so clearly taught in Scripture, that no Christian parent should ever be caught off guard by it.
Grandparenting
What Influence Do You Have On Your Children?
Parents, not the kids—and not even the peer groups—are ultimately to blame for the parents’ diminishing influence in our culture. Whenever outside influences shape a child’s character more than the parents, the parents have failed in their duties. It is as simple as that.
Not The Wrong Number
After calling a wrong number back, Kyle discovered someone needing prayer. “I don’t think it was an accident . . . we’re praying right now!” We are the church!
Teaching Integrity by Your Example
Is your life one of integrity? Does your home radiate its presence? There is no greater teaching of spiritual growth to our children and grandchildren than what is established in our lives and demonstrated through our integrity.
5 Things That Hurt Relationships with Grandkids
As is common with all relationships, there can be many seen and unseen pitfalls ready to wreak havoc between grandparent and grandchild. To best reflect Christ as grandparents, our primary goal should be to avoid to allow our lives to be transformed through a rich and consistent union with Christ.
How do you raise Christian?
The spiritual outcome of your child, taken by itself, is no reliable gauge of your success as a parent. Nor is it an accurate measure of your faith—salvation is non-transferable, regardless of the depth and breadth of your love for the Lord.
SHADE FOR OUR CHILDREN
The question that faces Christian parents and grandparents today is whether we can plant some trees that will shade future generations from what may well be the blistering heat of anti-Christian values in an anti-Christian world.
As I Get Older
Though we are getting older we are always learning something new as we draw closer to God in our daily walk with Him.
Evangelizing Children
On one hand, there’s the danger of leading children to think they are saved when they are not. On the other, there’s the risk of discouraging children who express a genuine desire to follow Christ. John helps us raise our children and grandchildren in a way they will understand their zeal to follow Christ.
Happy Grandparents Day!
Grandparents Day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day in the USA. This year it is September 11th. While we enjoy our grandparents everyday, lets take this special day to celebrate and honor them. Plan ahead!
a letter to my grandson on his first week of school
It’s interesting how the way we mark the passage of time changes. We note birthdays with zeros at the end, and in the past we’ve measured via our children’s progress, then graduation from high school, passage through college, out into the world of work, and then marriage. But “now,” it’s our grandchildren who help us keep time.
Passing On The Legacy
As long as we are obedient in what God gives us, even when we make mistakes, His promises are sure and “will” be accomplished. That is the great hope that we are able to pass down to our children AND grandchildren.
