Identify one or two ways you can help prepare your students for attacks on their Christian faith.
-
Apart from memorizing scripture, look to openly discuss current events and what the Bible speaks concerning to that event.
-
Memorizing scripture verses is valuable. Praying for them and with them.
-
When way that we can prepare our students against the attack of their Christian faith is giving their knowledge in the Bible and how to utilize that knowledge to defend what is being said in a positive way .
-
It is important to teach our kids the difference between real attacks on our faith and what are simply different cultural opinions that we have elevated to the position of a biblical worldview. That way we invest our energy in the right issues.
-
As we approach “big questions” in course, continue to direct students to scripture as the foundation for answers so that they are not confused or suprised by the lies and attacks of the world. We also need to listen to our students and treat their questions with the seriousness/respect they deserve. When we fail to acknowledge that many problems we face as individuals, as a community, and as a global society are complex, we make it more likely to have students leave us and be quickly turned away from the faith by those who do acknowledge those complexities — but without God’s word as the measure of weighing solutions.
