Reading the Bible Together

In this week's Field Guide we asked you to ponder this question: How can you make reading the Bible together part of your regular routine?


This is something that does not always come naturally.  First, someone has to take the initiative to make it happen.  Then, everyone else in the family has to get on board (boy, what a feat that can be!).  And once everyone is convinced, there are so many logistical questions to be answered: When will we do it?  How long will it take?  What devotional will we use, or how much of the Bible will we read each day?  It can all be so overwhelming - - and even if you get past all of these hurdles, it's tough to stick with it.

Let me tell you one simple thing that makes it all worth it, though:

YOU are the greatest influence on your kids.

That's right - - YOU!

Not Pastor Gloria.  Not Ms. Elizabeth.  Not your child's coach.  YOU.

That's why we send home Field Guides each week: because we know that one hour in Bible Trek each week is not going to make lifelong followers of Christ.  We plant seeds in Bible Trek, but you cover them with soil and water them and give them sunlight.

So I strongly encourage you to think about how you can foster spiritual growth in your child at home.  You already have a great start, bringing your kids to church!  Bring Jesus home with you, and you will be amazed at what you see happen in your family!
