James and I often talk about inoculating or immunising our kids against Christianity…..meaning that we can give them a tiny bit of Christianity which makes them “immune” to the power and ongoing excitement of the gospel and salvation.

I have seen kids inoculated and “taste Christianity” then turn away….because they have not SEEN and experienced God themselves, in our lives or in their lives……

Hmmmmm let us always have an excitement a fervour and zeal for God……if God is real in our life it MUST show…faith in the every part of our lives will overflow………..for the good the bad, the ugly and the pretty!!

I never want to inoculate my kids and make them immune to God….better to burn than smoulder!

Love you Gal

This is great Susan. It is one (of the many) resaons we chose to homeschool. Both my husband and I are first-generation Christians and we wanted to sow into our sons for generations to come. More is caught than taught isn’t it? xo

Wonderful post Susan!
On the days we don’t do much “school” I often remind myself that my dd is learning a lot just by being with me and living life together. She comes along with us to lots of things we do both life and ministry related. But I loved what you said at the end “I often ask myself if I am really excited about what God is doing in my life or has done for me? Do I share my walk with them? How are they to ‘catch’ my passion if I don’t share it with them?”
I think having that passion for God and zeal for him is what is contagious and needs to be passed on…you are absolutely right!
