What are the challenges?
- Chasm 1: Everyday life + sensationalized life
- Chasm 2: Information + wisdom
- Chasm 3: Real relationship + virtual relationships
1. Sensationalized generation, but how deep is it?
2. Informed generation, but how discerning is it?
3. Connected generation, but how fulfilled is it?
What is our faithful creative response?
1. Train (Proverbs 22:6)
- Delaying exposure
- Limiting usage
- Trusting them with increasing responsibility (Luke 16:10)
2. Treasure (Matthew 6:19-24)
If our children cannot find their highest satisfaciotn in Christ, they are going to look for it in something else.
Create an environment at home that is more engaging and more satisfying than the one they find online.
1. Be a consistent presence in their lives
2. Create positive memories (have fun!) as you disciple your children
3. Do something hard together for the sake of another
Conclusion: 1 Corinthians 15:9-11

Developing a Biblical Worldview in our Families
November 8, 2020 • Rev. Reuben Foncardas • Deuteronomy 6:4–9
Sermon Notes As parents, we need to work to ensure our children have a relationship with Jesus, not just a desire to be part of a loving community doing good. In other words, we need to ask, are we discipling or merely socializing our children in church? —Ed Stetzer Deuteronomy 6:4-9 shows us three instructions we must carry out in order to develop a biblical worldview in our families. 1. Listen: Be obedient to God! - Developing a biblical worldview begins with God. We must know him, his will, and his ways. - How serious are we in studying God’s Word? 2. Love: Be devoted to God! - God must be first in everything if we truly love him. - Is God first in our finances, in our interests, in our relationships, in our schedule, and in our troubles? 3. Lead: Be a messenger of God! - Three ways we can lead our children: Tell them, Show them, and Do it with them. - We teach with our words and with our lives and our influence must go beyond our home. Conclusion Listen to God and you will http://believe.love God and you will be http://convinced.lead your children and you will be passionate for God
