Children Need Spiritual Training
 
  I know a young couple who finished their education, got married, and started their careers.  Several years later, they bought their first house, and started preparing for their first child.  Until then, they had not given God a second thought.  Success felt good, finances were solid, and baby was coming!
    One night they had a conversation about spiritual things. They decided that they did not need God in their life, but they needed to figure out what they believed about God, so they could give some direction to their children! They knew that children need spiritual training! They started visiting churches, not for them, but for their children.  In the process, they experienced God’s love and plan for their life. Soon they were hooked on His Son Jesus, and the wonderful Holy Spirit!  They became Christians themselves, they joined a bible believing church, and they raised their 4 children in the ways of the Lord, and now their children are raising their children in the ways of the Lord!
    My wife and I were that young couple.  Here we are 40 years later in Central.  I’m glad we came to that conclusion – children need spiritual training!  I hope you come to that conclusion too!  Find that good church!  Experience God’s love and plan for your life! You and your kids might get hooked too!  You’ll be glad you did!
