From the newly released Faith Begins at Home Dad by Pastor Mark Holmen
I was impressed and completely in awe of God when I saw the Grand Canyon the first time. And I was truly impressed the first time I walked into Wrigley Field to see the Chicago Cubs play. I still remember exactly where I sat and how green the grass was and how beautiful the ivy was in center field. I have seen Tiger Woods, the Grand Canyon, and Wrigley Field many times on television but it wasn’t the same. What makes a lasting impression? Seeing something firsthand with your own eyes.
You can tell your children the ways and commands of God. You can take your children to church and have the church teach them the ways and commands of God. But your children will not have a lasting impression in their lives until they see it firsthand in you.
Dad, whether you like to hear this or not, your child is going to be impressed, one way or the other, by the way you live your life. You can impress them to be one hour, at church only, hypocritical Christians who only dress, act, and behave like Christians at church or you can impress them to be fully devoted, 24/7 Christians who are continually living according to the motto, “WWJHYD – What Would Jesus Have You Do?”
