Josh McDowell has, within the last few years, written a book entitled The Last Christian Generation. His research has revealed a startling number of youth from Christian homes having abandoned a number of foundational Christian beliefs. These teens are not turning their back on spirituality; rather, they have rejected several important and crucial aspects of Christian theology.
It is my conviction that as parents we must become ourselves more theologically literate in the home. Parents must see the urgent need to teach their children the essential doctrines of the Christian faith, so that their spiritual and devotional responses to God may be informed by the content of Christian doctrine. This can be accomplished if we will make a deliberate commitment to thoroughly acquaint ourselves with the foundational theological teachings of Christianity.
I am in the process of putting together a seminar and corresponding book resource in order to help families in the Church implement a plan to accomplish this great task. I would love to get any feedback you may have.
