Parents As Teachers: 20 Inspirational Quotes for Raising Godly Children

We hear it all the time — Millennials are leaving the church; three common traits of youth who don’t leave the church; What the church can do to keep kids from leaving — the list could go on and on. As a Church, we’re always concerned about raising up the next generation into being Godly children.

But the truth of the matter is that most of the training doesn’t start inside the church walls, it starts at home with parents as teachers.

I can’t tell you how many times a parent has come up to my husband and me and told us how desperately they want their kids to be in the church following Jesus and understanding the Bible. I mean, that’s what most parents want. But the real kicker is the number of parents who come up to us with these desires, and yet they themselves have no relationship with God.

Maybe their kids are asking questions, or wondering what God is all about, and instead of making church and Christianity a way of life, they pawn their kids off on someone else.

Parents — you were trusted those little human beings for a reason. God does not make mistakes, but in trusting you with those kids, He’s trusting that you’ll raise them into Godly children to find Him.
