Morning Meditations: Pusing Religion

From my morning devotion:

Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

also:

Mark 9:42And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Some people believe that they shouldn't "push" their religion on their children. They believe that when a child reaches a proper age, they can be given the choice then. I say hogwash!

How about you do the same thing with education? Next time your child tells you they don't want to go to school, just let them lay out. You wouldn't want to push it on them, would you?

Mark 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Not only forbid them not, but make them go to church!

Lord, help us to nurture in our children a hunger for you and your word. In Jesus name, amen.
