God's Children In God's Kingdom

Raising children is one of the most difficult things that we have to do in life. The bible says to raise a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it, even when he is old. This is why it is important to raise children in the right way in the Lord. Children of any age have as much right to enter the Kingdom of God as any adult, maybe even more so. The consequences for hindering children from coming to the Lord are worse than having a millstone tied around your neck, and being drowned in the depths of the sea. That is the way Jesus put it. One of the problems we have in teaching our children to walk with God is, that we as adults do not really understand the principles for ourselves, so how can we expect to train our children in these things. We have been taught by the world how to think and act. Even if we grew up going to church, many of us still have the world's view of doing things. Many of us have been going to church and have been taught some things that are not biblical. Our view of the world and of Christianity has been colored by the things that we have been taught from the day we were born. Things that were not necessarily right. How can we teach our children right if we do not have the right knowledge? My prayer is that in writing this book that you may begin to understand the importance of children to God and His Kingdom. Also to help to realize that children do not have to get to an age of understanding all about the Christian faith before they can get to know the Lord Jesus.
