Surefire ways to raise kids who don’t remember God

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

1.  Focus on what the Bible says they can’t do instead of what they can do
2.  Tell them all the things that displease God, instead of focusing on what pleases God.
3.  Doing God-stuff on Sundays and Wednesdays only
4.  Praying the same trite, formulaic, prayers in every setting
5.  Giving the impression that church is a hindrance in the schedule, and you try to get home as soon as it is over
6.  Doing family devotions because it is what you are supposed to do
7.  Having the name of God on your lips only when you are swearing
8.  Talking down about your church or pastors in front of your kids
9.  Discussing your frustrations with other church members in front of your kids
10. Getting more excited about hunting trips or shopping trips than doing something to serve God
11.  Talking more about anything…..than you do about God.
