• Saturday, March 17, 2007 - Don't give spiritual custody of your children to the church.

Posted in God is Good!

Oh my goodness. Can you stand two article links in one week? 

Don't give spiritual custody of your children to the church.  

Let the church support families!  I have clarify my thoughts to say that some youth oriented activity is ok/good  in the church.  But only some.  There are many kids who don't have support at home who will benefit from youth activities.  

BUT...  if you REALLY want to help kids.  Support the parents.  Kids learn from the parents.   Focus on strengthening the family.  It is the FAMILY that will really have the most influence and that is the key. 

Oh just go and read the article.   It is not quite as long as the other one.

Good article. My husband and I have been in youth ministry for 14 years. It is a sad story of parents who do not want anything to do with their kids when they become teenagers. Family ministry is an important change that most churches need to make.

I've really thought about this in the past week...church feels like "McChurch"...various programs and ministries, but nothing really focussed on family learning and serving together, and each activity separating them a little bit more...not just children from parents, but parents from children, as this study or that event is offered to adults, childcare provided, and not much of anything that all can do together. It emphasizes to me all the more the magnitude of the responsibility we have as parents to disciple our kids, not just in understanding, but in carrying out as well God's word.

The thoughts and reflections of a mom who loves being at home, and is doing all she has ever desired in her life..... Really... I love my life that much!


"And all thy sons shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy sons.
In righteousness shall thou be established."
Is 54:13-14
