Kids Need Discipleship
(Matthew 28:18-20, Deuteronomy 4:9)
The Situation: Many kids wonder, "If Christianity is so special, why don't Christians live like Jesus?" Children readily distinguish between what they read in the Bible and what they see in real life.
The Solution: Jesus calls all His followers to unswerving allegiance to Him-and His word is never negotiable. Being a disciple is much more than "part-time Christianity." First and foremost, Jesus Christ calls the Church to make disciples. Discipleship is Christ's sole weapon to win the world. He never mentioned "Plan B." The vitality of the next generation of Christians hinges on the willingness of parents and churches to disciple children.
What You Can Do: Churches must plan purposeful ministries to disciple parents who will, in turn, disciple their children. Encourage your church to equip parents to carry out their responsibility. Recommit yourself to disciple your child-it's the one thing you cannot afford to neglect!
