RECOMMENDS

We are committed to providing access to resources that inspire and equip the family , church , and school to train children with a biblical worldview . We invite you to consider the following organizations .
Parents must seek to faithfully fulfill this call to share the gospel with their children , and we must openly recognize that though we can pray , gather , and share the Bible with our children , only God can ultimately capture their hearts . God has His role , and we have ours . The steps I shared are just one way to obey this calling . We have had both successes and heartbreaks in parenting , and I cannot share a foolproof list of steps to guarantee your children ’ s salvation . Yet , parents do have an important role to play in faith formation , remembering and trusting that God is eager to support this transfer of faith to the next generation in His timing and ( in part ) through our faith-filled prayers and efforts . After all , He is the one calling us to this role ( Deut . 6:4-9 ).
We cannot be the Holy Spirit , but our primary role is to prayerfully depend on and cooperate with the Holy Spirit , sharing from our own genuine faith and love . We must attend to the atmosphere of our home , ensuring it is a safe and enjoyable space for learning and discussion and not harsh , critical , distracted , or filled with unpleasantness . We must build strong , healthy relationships with our children outside of our Bible studies so our voices and input are well received . At the same time , we work to form the habit of prayerfully reading and discussing the Scriptures together , and we seek to wisely choose the most appropriate , truth-filled , engaging , life-giving resources available to assist us .
Jesus said , “ If you abide in my word , you are truly my disciples , and you will know the truth , and the truth will set you free ” ( John 8:31-32 ). Abiding in God ’ s Word is true discipleship . Won ’ t you join me in cultivating a gospel-inspired discipleship life in your home by intentionally creating time and space for your family to abide in God ’ s Word together ? ■
