Don't Give Spiritual Custody of Your Children to The Church

Youth Pastor Ray Baumann writes at Worldview Weekend:

"Youth ministry has become big business because parents would rather put kids in a program then have to do it themselves. Youth ministries would be unnecessary if the believers took their biblical mandate to parent seriously. There would be prayer and study going on at home. Imagine that--having church with just your family."

"Why is it a great concern for many parents that a church has a children’s or youth ministry program? Because parents are looking to sign over spiritual custody of their children to the church. The last place I want my kids to hear about Jesus is on Sunday. We need to continually reference teachings out of the Bible to our children at home."

Editor's note: If more parents and pastors take the narrow way instead of the broadway, they would see the very real threats that exists in today's church.
