Chapters
The greatest way that we can minister to our kids is in how we follow Christ, like in just what we do as a Christ follower. It's really not necessarily what we're teaching them that is important. Like we do need to have those teachable moments with them where we're reading from the Bible and doing those things. But most of all, they need to see us living it out like what we do in our quiet time. I know our kids from the time they were born, they have seen you get up every day and read your Bible and also just talking about the Lord in a very normal everyday way, like bringing your kids at an age appropriate level into what God is teaching you. Can you believe that God made the teeny tiny little hairs on our dog and that he made dogs just to love us as human beings because he loves us and dogs are evidence of that more than anything. Right? But you know, and I'm saying like just pointing out all these wonderful things that God has done are evidence that Satan exists, no.
