Comment on A Call For A Biblical Church System by Katy

What I have seen at Lakeview is that not only are children fine sitting with their parents (though it is wise to keep their hands occupied!), but that they actually glean far more from hearing the sermon as they play quietly than what we adults would assume. They also have the opportunity to learn how to behave in such a setting and to engage in serious study. Should children also receive instruction “at their level”? Absolutely! Parents should have the honor of imparting that knowledge. Too often in our culture we assume that because our children are being taught “Bible stories” in Sunday School, they are receiving the Godly instruction they need. This is not the case! We are both responsible and privileged to provide that education to our children (in both word and deed, as you mention, Jim.)

I meant to say some cases it is monotoring what is being taught in sunday school as well as teaching your children at home both in word and ESPECIALLY by your actions, your actions will either confirm or deny what your lips are telling them, there is no middle ground.

There is no biblical basis for modern children’s and youth ministry? I agree that it is the responsibilty of christian parents to be involved in their children’s christian education, in some cases that may be monotoring what is being taught. The level that christian adults are taught (sermons,bible studies) should be far above that of most childrens comprehension and therefore would create boredom and frustration at an very young age. To offer them something at their level of comprehension I think makes much more sense. The only biblical basis I can think of is that of evangilism. I know that many unsaved people use sundayschools and churches, especially those that provide transportation, as sunday morning babysitters. So be it, I just wish there was a way to know how many of THOSE childern were led to a saving knowlege of Christ’s love, mercy, and grace, I bet the numbers are staggering! Not every church has the resources to provide such a ministry, but if they can I think they should.

Excellent post! That’s exactly why Communism failed, and why Socialism won’t work either!
