'Fake Christians'

I have copied a link to an article that was sent to me that I thought was quite interesting. This is certainly something that I think needs our prayerful consideration...and our down right attention and focus! I want to really appeal to parents to read the part under the heading that reads... "How 'radical' parents instill religious passion in their children"

They offer some great points for us as parents to ponder. I must say though, that it struck me what they were refering to as "radical". As I thought about it I had to ask myself, is this really radical? Or is this just what the basic life of a Christian should look like. Sure, some decisions are certainly radical, but are we sometimes making things seem so extreme when they really don't need to be? Is it really that hard to explain to our kids why we do things and let them know that our daily decisions in life are influenced by our faith? Or maybe we need to be vulnerable and talk to them about the times that we did not let our faith influence a decision like it should. Is that really a "radical" concept for us? I hope not. It does not take a special book by James Dobson and a prescribed daily agenda for us to disciple our children. Live life, and share with them how God is impacting you each day. I guess in our culture today, that is a pretty radical concept.
