We are called to build up students and families. God has ordained parents to take the lead in nurturing their children in the faith. He also calls the church to help, not replace that.
4 “Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.[a] 5 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. 6 And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. 7 Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 8 Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)
ARE OUR STUDENTS AND CHILDREN ROOTED?
ARE WE ROOTED IN CHRIST?
ARE WE ROOTED TOGETHER AS A PARENT MINISTRY?
ARE WE ROOTED IN CHRIST?
ARE WE ROOTED TOGETHER AS A PARENT MINISTRY?
It's not "IF" things of the world will attack our lives, but "WHEN". We must ALL work together. For encouragement read "Your Role As Your Teen's Spiritual Mentor", by Paul Turner which discusses the Parent's role in their child's faith.
