If you are a Christian who happens to also be a parent, my next statement will surely resonate with you. It's not easy being a Christian parent in today's world (I bet some of your are nodding your heads right now!). God has given us Christ followers who have children a HUGE joy and responsibility: raising them for HIM!
I can recall as a young parent telling someone how cool it was to be able to be disciple making (and thus fulfilling the Great Commission) in my own home! And after raising three kids I will say there were many "cool" times. But there were also many trying and demanding times. Times that I was not expecting nor prepared for. But I am guessing this is every parent's experience!
For those of you who are serious about bringing up your children to follow Jesus - I suggest you check out the following blog posting, "Pray like you can't save your kids and Parent like you can." I think you will find it most encouraging ... and encouragement is something most parents could use a bit more of!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
