"My family is the primary place where my walk with Christ takes on flesh." - Voddie Baucham
Here's a sobering thought for today. Kids are smart. They are some of the world's best "hypocrisy-detectors." I have a feeling you know what I'm talking about. Your home (how you act, what you say, who/what you prioritize, etc.) say more about you to your kids than whether or not you come to church on Sunday mornings. I'm glad you come to church on Sundays...I really am, but the stark reality is that what you do every other day of the week matters infinitely more in the lives of your children.
May that sobering thought drop us to our knees in prayer every day. May each and every one of us, ask God to show us where we need work and how we can accomplish that through the power of his Holy Spirit. And when you feel like a failure as a parent, may that drive you to an even greater appreciation of the cross of Christ where those failures were paid for in full. Your genuine love for God, lived out as best you know how even in the midst of struggle, will be the thing that has the single greatest impact on lives of your children. Press on! Be encouraged...you can do this!
