A dare to all the dads...

Dads:

I dare you all to begin something radically transforming tonight. After dinner have all your kiddos join you in the living room and ask them the following question:

1. "How do we make God know to those around us?"

Allow them time to respond and then read the following...

The answer lies within John 15:8

We are to make God known by producing fruit!

2. "Then ask, what kind of fruit are we to produce?"
Again, giving them time to respond...

A great example is Matthew 5: 43-47
Encourage them to share other ways they could produce fruit as followers of Christ.

Close out by asking your kids how you can pray for them. Then gather closely, holding hands is even better, and pray over your children.

Dads...
Whether this time lasted 5 minutes or 45 minutes, we have to start somewhere in nurturing our children in the way of the Jesus we say we follow. We must take the lead in doing this. Remember there is an all out attack upon the family by Satan and his demons. We must, as spiritual leaders of our home, take charge of bringing our kids up!

I hope you all experience some great times within this simple bible study with your kiddos.

Please share your time together with me at jmbarnes1975@gmail.com

Praying for you all!
