Teaching Kids to Walk with God 1

If you are familiar with your Bible characters you know that there are two individuals mentioned in the early chapters of Genesis who, we read, “walked with God.” Both Enoch and Noah are described in this way, in-dicating that they had a close and intimate relationship with almighty God. What is indicated by this descriptor is that they both lived obedient-ly as they worshipped, prayed, and sought God’s guidance. All of us who are followers of Jesus Christ, young and old alike, need to make walking with God our top priority in life. As parents, we need to walk in total de-pendence on God, and we should pray that the children and teens we are raising will grow up to do the same. I have recently been reading a series of writings from the seventeenth century Puritan preacher Jeremiah Bur-roughs, which are all about what it means to walk with God. Listen in for the rest of this week, as I will be passing on good guidance and advice from Burroughs that can shape how we lead our kids.
