Title: What to do with our young children
Post by: mmijares on February 02, 2010, 02:12:07 AM

I would like to ask inputs on how you will spiritually raise your young kids now that you are called out from Babylonian church.

Thanks in advance!

We have a 12 yr old and a 9 yr old. We just talk about the truths of Gods Word and point out the lies of the church. It is a daily conversation between my husband and I and they hear it all the time.
Plus, I homeschool, so I can teach them there as well.
We find the lies hidden in a lot of what we read and we discuss them.
They know that they believe differently than their peers about God. They do not speak up and correct at this point in their lives and walk but I imagine the time will come when they will be led to do so.
Neither one has missed going to church.  ;)

Blessings, Lin

Hi Lin,

So do you kind of hold a bible study for your children on a daily basis?

Thanks,

mij,
I knew Lin could give you some advice! I hope you have good success! It's hard to bring children up in this world..it's kind of scary, but God wants us to be bold and not to fear!!  :D

Mij,
Not a structured one daily, but often. I have a book of bible stories that my little one reads to me. It has the twists and turns of the church in it so we get to discuss it right then. Since they hang out with Christian friends, I think they have to know what they believe vs. what we believe so this gives us a way to see that.
My oldest does Kay Arthur bible studies with me. Precepts is her ministry and it was a starting point for me to get interested in really digging into the Word. It also has church lies in it so we discuss it but at least it is more a way to study on your own.

The most important thing we do is the daily talking about what we believe. We never used to talk so much about the Lord as we do now. Unlearning makes for tons of conversation.
Sometimes in the car (we live far out and do a lot of driving) I'll just ask them a question to see if they can answer it. Makes for interesting car trips.

We do the best we can, trusting in God for inspiration to guide me in guiding them. God will sustain you, your in my prayers.

Thanks Roy, Kathy, Lin for the input!

I'll start in making my kid (the older one) to read some bible stories.  When it becomes a habit, I'll start injecting some explanation.
