Many, many books have been written about how to raise children. Statistics from independent research organizations indicate that these books have helped very little. Over two million children are leaving the church each year, never to return. One half of one percent of young adults have a biblical worldview, that’s one in two hundred! Jesus said that “we will know a tree by its fruit” and judging from these statistics the “tree” looks pretty sick.
Could a biblical approach make a difference? There are some things things that we can learn about parenting from Jesus Christ. Jesus showed us how to make disciples and then commanded us to do the same. Below you will find the last five of a “top ten” list about how to make disciples and enjoy the great blessings of your children.
5. Provide loving correcting to your children, and never discipline in anger. In the same way that a coach corrects his players, parents need even more to provide loving correction and guidance.
4. Frequently teach your children about God and scripture each day; that’s what Jesus did! Take advantage of time in the home, in the car, at the park, etc to talk about the goodness of the Lord.
3. Take your children into the world to minister to others. Find opportunities to take meals, cookies, flowers, cards, and tracks to others in need. Pray for, minister to and give testimonies to the needy.
2. Protect your lambs from the many wolves in our culture by being with them. In Psalm 23 Jesus the Shepherd was with His flock as they walked through “the valley of the shadow of death.”
1. Once your children are fully trained, send them out with other trusted adults. After training His adult disciples, Jesus sent them out in twos. He said “I send you out as lambs among wolves.”
