Teaching Children About Jesus
By Wynne and Harriet Yoder
Customers often ask how we teach our children about Jesus, do family devotions and Bible study, and
teach them to pray. The following articles discuss the simple things we do to encourage a love for the
Lord in our home. My husband and I were not saved when we married; though we
were taken to church as children and raised with Christian values. So
basically we started from scratch when we had our first baby. These tips
are for those of you who need help to get started or for those of you who need
some encouragement along the way.
I will always be grateful
to my little sister who lived with us while she was attending medical
school. After I had my first baby, she told us we needed to pray with our
child EVERY TIME she was ill or had a hurtie. Looking back, I wonder how
we could have been so
clueless (but it was our lack of knowledge of spiritual things, that's all). Now it is second nature and our children
ask for prayer when they are hurt.
We learned most of this from reading about it in the Bible, from books about
training children, and from watching older, wiser parents with their children.
It is our hope that these articles can help you to train your children to love God and
love others. Please click on these links to see the topics:
