Parents and churches have 6,570 days with their children before they turn 18 years old. Research tells us the depth of our training during this time does not match the intensity of the culture they are entering. I would argue that within the context of the twenty-first century’s secularized and post-modern culture, most current church training plans for parents and students are incomplete. The ethos of our culture isn’t Christian anymore; and for the most part, our kids are entering a culture opposed to absolute truth, opposed to the tenets of Christianity, opposed to living a life of holiness. Training our students to truly take every thought and idea captive to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5) and to provide in-depth biblical literacy, doctrine, apologetics and worldview applications will require a true “community”, or family of Christian believers. The model and solution I am endorsing is focused on the comprehensive approach to training the next generation—including how parents are training their children, how churches are training parents to train their children, and how education is viewed within the church for pre-school through high school-age children and students. |
