A Family Needs a Firm Foundation

*** Praising God for blessing me to be celebrating my 10th year anniversary as a Christian Living Blogger! What an honor it has been to be able to share the importance of God’s word and tell people about salvation through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! My blog has been read by people from 98 different countries. God is good! I’m re-posting my very first blog post below. It’s just as relevant today as it was when I first posted it in March 2012. *** ( 98 Countries listed at bottom of this page.)

Question:  In these challenging social times, how do I help my children be strong Christians?

Answer: It’s true that traditional Christian values are being challenged from every direction.  If your son or daughter attends public schools or universities, they are most likely being taught to believe ideas and ways that are contrary to God’s biblical teachings…in addition to the regular reading, writing, and math.  Most parents are not aware of this.  That’s why parents need to be very active in keeping up with what’s going on in their child’s school.  However, the bottom line is that parents cannot be with their child every minute.  Therefore, it becomes even more important that parents are teaching their children from a very early age what exactly their family believes.  Proverbs 22:6 tells us to train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  This training will be their firm foundation.

Sadly, too many Christians today don’t even know themselves what God teaches us in His Word-The Holy Bible.  As Christians, we need to read and study the Bible for ourselves.  Plus, it is extremely important to attend a true Bible believing, Bible teaching church.  Be aware that many places call themselves a church, but they don’t even teach that the Bible is true.  If you are in a church like this, you and your family need to leave NOW!  Learn God’s Word!  Being strong in the Lord starts with you and your children understanding that we are all sinners in need of a Savior.  Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, is that Savior.  Once we ask Jesus to forgive us our sins, repent, and accept Him as our Savior, we can go on to grow in our faith in the Lord!  Know that we cannot strive in this world by our own strength.  God gives us His Holy Spirit to guide and comfort us through this life…until we die from this world, and move on to eternal life in Heaven!

    Congratulations! Only 2 more for your century! By my reckoning I have 95 countries so far, so I’ve only got 5 more for mine.

    Kind regards

    Please excuse the nom-de-plume, this is as much for fun as a riddle for people to solve if they wish.
