4. Kids Need to Be Part of Something Bigger Than Themselves
If we’re honest, this generation of kids (and probably a couple of previous generations too) has some entitlement issues. Our children need to know there’s a world bigger than their own.
The church allows kids to be part of a body of believers who serve a God bigger than them and work together to accomplish things greater than themselves. A healthy church helps kids participate in projects and activities that help others in their community and around the world. Being part of the church helps kids learn that life isn’t all about them.
5. There Is a God Who Loves Them So Very Much
This is the bottom line truth: Your kids need to be in church because there is a God who desperately wants to be in relationship with them.
There is a God who is faithful and good and has an amazing plan for their lives. He is there even when you can’t be. He loves them even more than you can (as hard as that is to fathom). He wants the very best for them, even more than you do.
Your home is the best place for them to learn about Him, but the church is a very close second and should be your partner in pointing kids toward Him.
One More Thought for Parents
All of those reasons your kids need to be in church? They’re the same reasons you do too.
This isn’t a guilt trip. This isn’t me trying to cram God down your throat. This is me loving you and your kids enough to challenge you to invest in them spiritually.
It does matter.
See you Sunday!
