Ephesians 4:12-14
"for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,"
As I read Ephesians 4:12-14 I remember hearing Dr. Bob Barnes and radio host RuthieJ talk on Reach FM a while ago about keeping purpose in your kids’ lives. The advice was simple yet profound. Here’s what I got from it: “Every time you drive by the community center sign, the sport of the month is advertised for your kid(s) to get involved. But take heart - you don’t have to do it all. Get your kid(s) into one or maybe two focused sports or other activities in an effort to build their confidence and other skills by giving them goals to strive after. They can apply what they learn from sports to help with their daily walk with Christ as they look forward to heaven, the ultimate goal.”
And if we are ready with the Scriptures to equip these little saints for the work of the ministry to edify the body of Christ, they will be unified in the faith and know Christ and all His fullness. These kids of ours will be armed with true doctrine so they won't be tossed to and fro, but having confidence knowing what they believe in and their hope of Heaven.
