The Importance of Teaching Doctrine to Children

Posted by: Keren on: May 29, 2009

Those of us who care about passing on the baton of historic Christian truth must awaken to the importance of faithfully imparting its doctrines to our children… Children need a grid through which to sift all that they see and hear. We must provide this for our children while they are still young. Doctrine cannot wait until children are teens, because adolescents are making major life decisions. The theological framework on which to base those decisions, the biblical worldview, must already be in place.

Looks great. I might have to pick our family up a copy.

Yeah, I’d love to have my own copy when I start my own family…

How old are your girls Nathan? :)

@Keren: My oldest is almost 3, then my youngest just turned 1, and we have another due in a few weeks. We can hardly wait! :-)
