I want my children to grow up understanding that life with Jesus is more than just being nice, or trying not to cuss and get drunk because “that is what good Christians do.” I want my children to be so compelled by the real Jesus that they are willing to stand with him, giving their lives to his revolution, not in order to be religious but because there is simply no more exhilarating way to live. I want my kids to see my wife and me as revolutionaries who subvert the dominant belief systems of the world, not out of religious obligation but in wholehearted response to the person of Jesus. — Mike Erre in Jesus of Suburbia
Question asked as follow up to this: How can we as parents LIVE in such a way that our kids know we are pursuing God’s glory and not our own comfort, pleasure, success, etc…?
