Spiritual Disciplines For Children:
Fostering Godly Habits That Will Last A Lifetime
We are excited to share this resource with you to aid you on your journey to train your children up in the Lord. We have seven children and know just how daunting a task it is, especially when living in a world that is set against the things of God. However, we take great comfort in the fact that we have a God who loves his people and blesses the work of faithful and diligent parents. We trust that the Holy Spirit will work in the hearts of our children to bear much fruit in his good timing. We pray this for your children as well.
The spiritual disciplines are seemingly a lost art in the modern evangelical church. It wasn’t that long ago when spiritual disciplines were expected of Christian men and women, but now we rarely hear a sermon on them, much less see an example of them. Many parents feel bereft of skill in the spiritual disciplines because they were never taught how to do them. For instance, many have some general knowledge that fasting is a thing the Bible mentions, but often think that is what the super-spiritual do; as if the spiritual disciplines are a gift only given to some, but not to others. This is an area that Christians must reclaim, learn, and pass onto the next generation of disciples. It is imperative in order for the Christian to mature from milk to meat.
