It's not going to happen. There are too many young people out there now who are suffering because parents and friends left it to someone else to tell them about God and how God wants them to live their lives. Faith is not something we can give to our children in a neat little package. Rather, faith is a journey we take together. Children need our guidance, and we need their openness to the love of God.
Children have a strong sense of fairness.
That's not really enough. By engaging children in worship and in a real relationship with God, we can help bring some fairness to their world. As children today learn about justice and forgiveness in their local churches, they can, in turn, offer that same justice and forgiveness to the world. We can minister boldly through our Christian education program. It is a joyful responsibility to help children know the Bible, not only as the book we read in worship, but also as a story of people who loved God and tried to follow God's will.
