God's stuff then kid's stuff

In the two-plus years my wife and I have lived in the west Chicago suburbs we have noticed some very intense parents. They make every possible effort to get their children to soccer, basketball, football, dance, baseball, softball, swimming, karate, and all kinds of music or drama practices and performances. No matter the weather they seem almost crazed with this stuff.

I often wonder … do these parents spend that much time and energy making certain their kids are fed spiritually ? Do they get them to church and related youth activities ? Are they as “onfire” for telling their kids about Jesus and the truth found in the Bible as they are about all these other things ?

All parents that neglect introducing their children to Jesus and what it means to know Him in an eternal way … are actually preparing them for an eternal destiny separted from GOD in a real place called hell. In simple terms … these parents are working for the devil and his kingdom … and they probably don’t even know it.
” … teach their children, so that the next generation would know … and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in GOD and would not forget His deeds … ” Psalm 78: 5-6-7
