Just Asking with Peter Banzon
How do I train my children spiritually when they’re not able to attend services at church?
This long pandemic has prevented children from attending church and receiving spiritual input from their Sunday School teachers.
But you have a great opportunity to train your children in spiritual matters at home. After all, the Bible commands parents to train their children in the ways of the Lord using His Word, the Bible.
“…These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Deut. 6:6-7
Thank God that the Bible has been brought to life through the different digital platforms. Animation, videos and images are all available for use.
You can prepare these teaching times by going through what’s available on the internet. Make sure the presentations are Biblically sound. Think of the questions that will help them think through the Bible stories.
Watch these resources together with your children. Then, discuss with them the lessons and applications. These times can be both fun and meaningful! End each session with prayer, asking God to help you and your children to live according to His word.
