As parents, my wife and I are committed to disciple our daughters with the prayerful expectation that they will become women who pursue the Lord, study the Word, advance the Kingdom, and live on mission with God. There will be a day when I’m not there, but God and His Word will always be present in their life.
According to Lifeway Research conducted in 2017, the biggest indicator of spiritual health in a young adult’s life is there reading the Bible regularly as a child. Think about that for a moment. Encouraging regular reading of God’s Word in the lives of our children is the single most impactful predictor of their spiritual health as adults. Based on that data, we now see some relatively simple choices we can make today that will impact their tomorrow.
Does your child have an age-appropriate Bible? It may be that you should begin this discipleship mission by equipping them with a Bible. They will need to learn this spiritual discipline and find joy in the experience of opening God’s Word regularly.
