Faith On Fire
Psalm 112:1-6
Culture says we need to raise well-rounded, well educated, and happy kids.
We are to release Christ-centered, Biblically anchored, world changers!!!
Managing exposure.
What we expose them to determines what they become.
Proverbs 13:20
Three things to expose kids to :
1. The joy of knowing God personally!
John 17:3
They are not rejecting christianity but rather the hypocrisy in religion.
Inconsistencies they see in the home.
**Rules without relationship = rebellion!**
Every day language of incorporating spiritual language into every day living.
Connect the spiritual to the natural.
"You worked hard to develop the gifts God gave you."
"Can you believe how God has blessed us?!"
If they hear and see it, they catch it.
If they hear it and don't see it, they reject it.
Create a culture rather than an expectation.
Expose them to the JOY of God speaking, directing + leading.
**If you want them to see a Father in God, let them see God in their father.**
2. Presence and power of God in His church!
Church is not a destination, it's an identity.
Difference between christians and a Christ-centered family!
3. Thrill of being used by God!
Joshua 24:14-15
We will serve the Lord!
We exist to see those stranded in sin find life and liberty in Jesus Christ!
