Do your kids have a vibrant spiritual heritage?

Build strong spiritual values in your kids.

Struggling to instill spiritual values in your kids? Here are a few things to keep in mind as you approach this critical task:

1. Make sure you know what you believe and why. Without a clear understanding of your own beliefs about God and your relationship with Him, you won't be able to pass along anything to anyone.

2. Are you and your spouse on the same page spiritually? Communicating regularly about your individual and mutual spiritual journeys is vital if you want to give your kids the gift of a vibrant spiritual heritage.

3. Immerse your family in Scripture. In addition to your own personal study, read with your kids, and help them gain a love for the Bible.

4. Pray regularly for each of your children. Acknowledging our lack of control over their physical and spiritual future, and our dependence upon the One who holds it in His hands, is the beginning of wisdom.

5. Stay flexible and open to the daily guidance of God's Spirit. There's no "one size fits all" approach to raising children to love the Lord.
