#28. Too Simple for Experts

Most of us do not feel qualified to help our children come to know Jesus. We’re used to deferring to experts in other things, so we seek out the experts in this too. Sometimes we respect God’s word so much that we don’t want to mess it up. But we won’t protect the specialness of the gospel by staying silent until the kids are old enough to really appreciate it. In doing that, our silence would actually be teaching our kids that the gospel is not worth talking about. As G.K Chesterton famously wrote, “If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly”.

Suggestions for helping our children with Jesus' words.
