Why a Blog?

One of the main goals of our Children’s Ministry here at Providence is to provide resources to parents that will help them live out Deuteronomy 6:6-7

And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

What does it look like for a suburban mom and dad in the year 2008 to talk about the Bible when you “sit at your house” or when you “walk by the way”? How do we make these words come alive so that our children learn to believe, love and revere the Scriptures and the God they proclaim?

We know you’re often pulled in twenty different directions as you go throughout what is probably a hectic day. So we put together this blog to give you quick, applicable and practical ideas for incorporating spiritual lessons into everyday life. Our prayer is that this site would be a valuable resource to help you introduce your children to the God in whom we “live move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).

Blessings,
