What is Faith@Home?

 I thought it might be a good time to ensure we are all on the same page and we all understand the intention of Faith@Home. Firstly, it is nothing new and it is not a program. Christians have passed their faith onto the younger generation for generations and this is really the bottom line of Faith@Home - passing our faith on to the next generation. But how do we do that? The greatest influence on our children is how they see us (their parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and parents’ friends) living out our faith every day, after we leave church. They will catch faith from us, not learn it from what we say or books we read or children’s church or youth group (although these can be influential). How we act, talk, what we watch and listen to, how we communicate with our spouse when we are outside the influence of church has the greatest influence on our children’s faith. What is one thing you could change this week that would bring you closer to Christ? That’s what will influence your children for Christ.
