Christian Worldview For Children : Training the Heart and Mind of a Child To Follow Christ
Outline: All Christian parents want to train their children to be "good kids." But that honorable goal is starkly shallow compared to the eternal purposes God has in mind for your parenting. The purpose of training is to prepare the soil of our children's hearts so they will seek God for themselves and be convicted of their own sinfulness and their need to repent. Compelling a child to "pray sinner's prayer" will not save them. It will only make false converts if the heart is not prepared for God's presence. The Bible mentions the heart 826 times. "Heart" refers to the core of a person's being. From the heart proceed our good and bad thoughts, emotions and behavior. What we teach our children can determine whether that soil is prepared to procedure good or evil. Nothing is more important than seeding within the heart and mind of a child core Christian convictions like Jesus is God. The reasons we know Jesus Christ rose from the dead, why we should be convinced the Bible is a true and accurate revelation from beginning to end and the absolute truth that Jesus is the only way to God. Unless our children know these and other key doctrines revealed in the Bible, they will not be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Although the word "doctrine" sometimes intimidates people, it is nothing more than a description of the will of God and the Gospel. If we have not trained the hearts and minds of our children to love sound teachings then we should not be surprised when three-fourths of them eventually walk away from the faith in college. You don't have time to waste. Read and re-read this book to your child, and the training will last for an eternity.
