Nothing strikes more fear in the heart of a Christian parent or grandparent than to hear statistics about how many young people have turned their backs on God. We love God, and we want our children and grandchildren to love Him too. We understand the heartbreak of life and the terror of a Godless eternity so we yearn for them to experience the peace and joy that only comes from walking with God. Yet, many of us feel inadequate to shepherd our children’s or grandchildren’s souls.
The weight of responsibility overwhelms us.
What should I say?
What should I do?
How can I teach my kids about God without messing it up?
What if I get it wrong, and they turn away?
Many times, our overthinking paralyzes us, and we do nothing. (Or very little.) We leave the bulk of spiritual training to the “professionals,” the Sunday school teachers and youth ministers.
Thankfully, long before Sunday school and professional Christian workers, God provided simple guidelines to help parents raise their children in the faith. This model has worked for centuries—even millennia—as Old Testament believers passed on their faith to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, down through the ages and into today.
