Faith of Our Mothers

I recently came across this information

 from Barna Research and find it interesting.

Whose faith influenced you?

(among practicing Christians)

Though we know that Biblical order

 states the father is the head 

of spiritual nurture in the home, 

he is often in need of encouragement.

So if we deal with the reality in many homes,

how can women take seriously

 the importance of their influence?

The percentages for teaching by example

  highlight the role that lifestyle

 gives in influence to our children.

That probably connects with the old adage that -

"seeing makes believers more than hearing."

These are also great talking points for parents.

How can they work better as a team for:

teaching the Bible, 

responding to faith questions,

praying together,

 teaching about God's forgiveness,

encouraging church attendance,

discussing God, 

and teaching about faith traditions.

It is very important to remember that -

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE,

to find a door into 

faith encouragement for our children.

Pray for them,

send them a visual prayer,

text them your prayers.

Show them how and what 

you are praying for them.

Live out a culture of prayer

 in your family-together.
