Let the children come…Mark 10:13-16
Have you ever wondered why Jesus was so insistent on making his disciples know that children were welcome to come to Him?
I believe in children so much and not just because I am a children’s minister, but because children are so honest and willing to come with their questions. And not only are they willing to come, but they are willing to listen to answers.
Children look up to the adults in their life. Are they being valued in the same way as Jesus valued them. Are the adults in your children’s lives good role models and providing them with answers that would be comparable to what Jesus would tell them?
Children often have 1 hour a week and maybe 2 hours in spiritual training “at church”. You do the math that leaves a lot of hours out there where your children are being influenced by many other influences. Do not over protect your children from this world…but protect and guard them…they are valuable!
