Evangelizing your children

Sharing the Gospel with your children is a privilege not to be taken lightly. As a follow-up to my post on Childhood Conversions last week let me point you to a two part series I greatly appreciate on evangelizing children from Shepherds Fellowship.

Here’s a brief overview:

Common Pitfalls in Evangelizing Children

Oversimplifying the Gospel of Christ
Coercing a Profession of Faith
Assuming the Reality of Regeneration

Foundational Keys to Evangelizing Children

Setting a Consistent Example of Godliness
Proclaiming the Complete Gospel of Christ
Understanding the Biblical Evidences of Salvation
Encouraging Possible Signs of Conversion
Trusting the Absolute Sovereignty of God
