Child Rearing: What Matters Most
by Bryan Gibson
Our heavenly Father is concerned about our physical well-being, but He puts far more emphasis on our spiritual well-being. Many of us have been blessed far beyond our needs, but that’s really all He promises—the basic necessities of life (Matthew 6:11, 25; 1 Timothy 6:8). Spiritual blessings—now that’s a completely different matter. He lavishes those upon us (Ephesians 1:3-14), and included among those is a vast storehouse of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:1-3). Bottom line, He’s far more concerned with preparing us for eternal life than making us comfortable in this life. So fathers and mothers, when it comes to our own children, let’s not get so caught up in providing them things (“stuff”), that we neglect their spiritual training. If we DON’T bring our children up in the “training and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4), if we DON’T prepare them for eternity, we have failed, no matter how much we may give them materially, and no matter how successful they may become in other endeavors.

The Prattmont Church of Christ is just what the name suggests, a church that belongs to Christ. We are not a denomination; we are simply a group of Christians trying very hard to practice the teachings of our Head, Jesus Christ. The New Testament offers a complete pattern for what each local church should be like—its organization, its worship, its work, etc. We are committed to following that pattern. We cordially invite you to attend our services. We would also welcome any comments or questions about this bulletin.
