Teach the kids

Direct your children onto the right path, & when they are older, they will not leave it. (Pr. 22:6 NLT)

This has been on my heart a lot lately.  Who is training the children & what are they being shown.  A lot of people want to talk about the "youth" & the direction that their headed & how they're not interested in church & Christ.  Well my question is what are the adults doing to help them to have that desire.  Are the adults showing them how Gods word applies to them?  Are we giving lip service but not actions?  Are we putting the time in with our kids & teaching them about Gods love & His word? Maybe we know a kid who doesn't have anyone to teach them & maybe we could be that person.  Or maybe you have a position in which you work with kids & are you taking the time to show an interest in them.  If we as Christian adults won't take the time to teach, demonstrate, & show interest, someone else will & they might not be teaching them the right things.  They want you to be involved with them.  They want to be shown the right path.  We need to start taking advantage of our opportunities & being the influence to them that God has asked us to be.  his word promises if we will, they won't depart from it.  If we want them to be different, it's up to us to show them the way.
