We live in a fallen world. People get divorces. Sometimes one parent is a believer while the other isn’t. Does that mean all hope is lost in raising a champion? No. Let’s look at what Paul wrote to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:5:
I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
There is no mention of a grandfather or father in this picture. We know that his father was Greek according to Acts 16:1. We have no reason to believe that he was a Christ follower at all. He still became a pastor and more importantly a Christian. We can also see that Paul became a spiritual father to him. So if you are in a similar situation and concerned about your children’s spiritual heritage take heart. Impart the faith you have to your children. His grace is sufficient for your situation!
Great stuff, Pastor Jason! So glad you and Rachel are with us @ LCC!!!
