Parents, the most important thing you can do for your children is to pass on to them the true, apostolic faith which as expressed in the Small Catechism and the other confessional writings of the Lutheran Church.
Jesus said, “If you continue in My Word, you are truly My disciples.” Paul wrote, “Watch your life and doctrine closely,” and “Watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have received. Keep away from them.”
There are many dangers and threats to your children, but none greater than false teaching.
It’s all around our community and on the airwaves. If you guard your children against the H1N1 virus, why would you neglect to inoculate them against the false gospels of today?
Ground your children in the truth by bringing them to Grace Club, Catechism, Youth Group, Sunday School and, most of all, to the Divine Service. Nourish them in Christ’s Word and Holy Supper, and study your Bible and catechism daily with your family, not because you must, but because their souls mean more to you
