Training Your Children to Remain in the Vine

Book excerpt: We are living in a difficult period. Sin is all around us, and sinful ways are rapidly becoming more accepted. Often due to aggressive social pressures, Christians are slowly adapting to worldly ways of thinking. But how will our children be able to handle the challenges ahead of them if many of our godly principles are being denied in society? Training Your Children to Remain in the Vine reminds parents that God is calling His people to bring an urgent awareness that He is alive and real. This spiritual guidebook is filled with the testimonies, uncertainties, disappointments, mishaps, and miraculous moments of a real journey of an ordinary wife and mother as she made the decision to answer the call of God. Author Terita St. Julian shares how her decision to say yes to God moved her family closer to Christ and meticulously transformed their lives unlike anything she could have ever imagined. Jesus states, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me and you can do nothing” (John 15:5). When parents are inspired to have a Spirit-led lifestyle and remain in Christ, they can fulfill God’s purposes and train their children the way God intended! Get ready to reap the benefits of learning how to make time for God, receive God’s power, and model a lifestyle that motivates your children and others to welcome the miraculous power of the Spirit.
