Salt & Light
As Christians, we pray our children will be salt and light in the world. But will they become effective witnesses by observing and being apprenticed by their Christian parents and other Christians, or by observing and being apprenticed by their peers?
We are not admonished to grow in wisdom and stature by conforming to the foolish. As our children’s guardians, we have an opportunity to provide them with a time of nurturing, apprenticing and growing so that when God calls them to be salt and light, He will have prepared them through us, as His willing servants, for the purpose He has before them.
