If you're reading this or listening on the podcast, I imagine you've clicked here because you can relate to the title of this post. I don't think this is an encouragement really, but let me just say you're not alone. There are most definitely days when I want to pull my 'Christian parent' hair out, and you already know why... My kids don't want to go to Church, and they're struggling to catch Jesus for themselves. ⁠https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hikaru

Assuming you agree that salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit, you'd probably feel comfortable with the idea that although you can take a child to Church, you can't make them love Jesus.

I became a Christian when I was 14, and I remember a strong lead from the Holy Spirit to jump out of my seat and accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. I was bought up in a Christian home, so there was a cultural understanding, but in the end, I gave my life to Jesus without any parents or siblings alongside me. 

Interestingly, I have siblings who grew up in the same home, but not all of them felt stirred towards becoming a Christian in a significant enough way for the decision to stick. I never spoke to my parents about it, but as a parent myself, I'm learning how different your children can be. I chose a life lived for Jesus, but not everyone does, and what are my wife and I supposed to do? Threaten our kids to make them want God?

You know that doesn't work.
