A Battle for Your Kids' Heart and Mind

February 09, 2016

Many polls show that the majority of young adults, raised in Christian homes, are now turning their backs on Christianity. In fact, recent surveys indicate that seven out of every ten Christian kids are leaving their faith after high school! It’s clear that the battle for our kids’ hearts and minds is real. As parents, we must recognize the gravity of this intense spiritual battle and be diligent to train, disciple and pray for our children while relying on God’s abundant grace.

Seven Out of Every 10 Christian Kids Leave the Faith After High School

Spiritual victories begin in the home. “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Preparing children to be disciples of Jesus takes a lot of work…but we must remember, if we don’t teach and train them, someone else will! We must not relinquish our responsibility to equip our kids with God’s truth and give them up to the influence of outside worldly organizations, institutions and individuals.

The Bible is clear that Christian parents have a God-given responsibility to continually engage, equip and train our children with His truth. May our commitment to making them defenders of their faith be unwavering.

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
