Are Your Children Well Equiped?

It’s that time of year when all the stores start putting out the lists for school supplies. Parents everywhere will be scrambling to find the right items their young ones will need to do their best in the upcoming year. The right supplies might not make them do any better but we want to give them every chance to succeed. But what their spiritual education?  The best item any parent can supply their child in order to help them grow in the knowledge of God is a Bible. It amazes me how many students come to Bible class without a Bible. Young people need to have and bring their own Bible to church every time the doors are open. Parents need to make sure their children are well equipped when they seek to gain a deeper understanding of God’s word. A Bible doesn’t have to be expensive to be a good study Bible. A good word for word translation that a child can read and comprehend is vital. Children need to understand that God’s word is something they can read and understand for themselves. As Paul wrote to Timothy, “that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” In this time, don’t forget about the most important supply in child’s spiritual education.
