The only time many men talk about God is at church. That simply cannot be the case. You must follow the instruction of Moses and talk about faith with your children in the home. It has to be a part of your everyday vocabulary. Unfortunately, statistics show that when it comes to impressing faith on children through faith talk we have some serious work to do.
George Barna confirmed this reality in the research for his book Transforming Children Into Spiritual Champions. “We discovered that in a typical week, fewer than 10 percent of parents who regularly attend church with their kids read the Bible together, pray together (other than at meal times) or participate in an act of service as a family unit. Even fewer families-1 out of ever 20-have any type of worship experience together with their kids, other than while they are at church during a typical month.”
Dads need to be talking about and living out faith with their children. If you remember nothing else from this book, please remember this: Faith is not something that can be taught, faith is something that must be caught.
