    Aug 15, 2018 · Jesus spoke these words to his disciples who implied that children were worth little — a hindrance to Jesus’s busy ministry. But Jesus also speaks to us — to parents — who know their children are worth much, and whose sorrow can hinder children coming because we keep them to ourselves.

    Sep 26, 2023 · Here are some strategies on what to say to a child if they don’t believe in God. “That’s all right. You are your own person who needs to discover your own beliefs and guiding principles for yourself.” Then loudly announce to the rest of the family that only those going to church will get ice cream.

    • Pray. And not always in the closet. Of course, there’s a lot to be said for getting out of the hustle and bustle of life to pray, but if we only pray in secret and quiet then our children never get the benefit of seeing us.
    • Let them pray. My daughter was having nightmares about a monster a few months ago. We suggested when she woke up afraid she should pray “please help, Jesus” and then call for us.
    • Encourage questions. Churches or organizations that discourage question asking are either trying to control by not letting people think for themselves, or they are too proud to admit they don’t know everything.
    • Get them into a church community. Sunday church is not the end all and be all, and of course you can have faith without going to church. However, church is where we’ll find support, friendship, and encouragement when we need it.

    • “Thank you for sharing this with me.” There’s no doubt it sends panic into a Christian parent’s heart to hear the words, “I don’t believe in God anymore” or “I’m not sure if I believe in God anymore.”
    • “How have you come to that conclusion?” Because we love our kids so much and want to quickly bring them back to truth, there’s a temptation to immediately start offering a response with reasons to believe in God.
    • “How long have you felt this way?” This is a helpful diagnostic question because it lets you know the depth of the doubt. In some cases, doubt comes as a knee jerk reaction to a specific event—for example, experiencing an unanswered prayer.
    • “If I could give you good evidence to show that God exists, would you want to be convinced He exists?” This is another helpful diagnostic question because it gives you a window into the heart of your child.

    May 18, 2021 · Jesus had said to let the little children come to him, and now, by verse 15, no people can come to him unless they are like a child. It had been this way all along, and it still is. You can’t come to Jesus with your arms full of everything you think makes you good.
