Statement of Faith

Have you created a statement of faith with your kids? What a precious experience! I am sharing ours today. We got together last week and I asked the kids what they believed about God. Some of their answers had to be a little re-directed, but we came up with some basic tenets that root us in Christ and enable us to walk in love actions and produce fruit for the kingdom.  All our roots are solid and elementary school age driven, I do envision the revisiting of our statement of faith as they grow and their faith deepens and as they learn more about God and his Word.

When they came up with their beliefs, we made sure they were grounded in scripture and we assigned a scripture to each root.  As we go through this next month and move on to focusing on self-control, we will also be memorizing the scriptures that root our statement of faith.

I will post on self-control in the next couple days.
By His Grace
