Here's a common
scenario: Your children grow up going to church. They
go with you every Sunday. They hear the Bible stories
from Sunday School. They learn cute songs about God.
You're thrilled! But there's one thing missing.
Somehow in all of that they never learned how to study
the Bible for themselves. And without that, their
spiritual growth could be handicapped for the rest of
their lives.
How to help our children grow in personal knowledge of
the Bible? Read the Bible with them. Memorize verses
together. Teach them how to use a concordance. And if
you don't know how, you |
| can
learn along with them! Finally, help them connect the
Bible to real life, applying God's Word to their daily
struggles. |
Proverbs 22 says, "Train a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will not turn from
it." Ephesians 6 says, "Fathers, do not exasperate
your children; instead, bring them up in the training and
instruction of the Lord." Our children are God's gift.
Train them to study the Bible for themselves and they will
be able to take the Word of God to their world!
