Someone posted this and I could'nt agree more. It is so important to get kids to church, to start them at a young age and make it a routine, make it a priority. Skipping church is easy and people can find every excuse. Satan would love for you to stay home on Sunday's and sleep in and focus on yourself. All kids need to be in church hearing., learning, and knowing Jesus. To all the Mamas (and Daddy’s) out there...
Bring them to church. Saturate their lives with the Word of God. Even if they lay in the floor. Even if they need 2 cups of milk and 437 goldfish and a sucker to be quiet. Even if you stand in the back swaying back and forth holding them. Even when it’s hard. Even when when your bench looks like a small hurricane just came through. Bring them to church. Let them see you worship. Let them see you pray. Let them see you running toward the Savior….. because if they don’t see and learn these things from you, who are they going to learn them from? The world will teach them it’s not a priority. The world will teach them it’s Ok to lay out, not to pick up their Bibles. The world will have them so far off course and confused and misinformed that just being “good” is enough. The world won’t teach them about Jesus. That’s our job. Bring them to church.
Until we attended Cornerstone when the kids were much older, I never let the kids wear jeans to church. I always made sure the boys had on nice khaki pants or some type of dress pant and Jayden was almost always in a dress. It took some adjusting to a much more casual dress at our new church than the churches Mark and I grew up in. I love seeing little kids all dressed up. It doesnt happen very often anymore. But even more, I love seeing kids in church.
