How to get your Kids to be Doers of the Word

“Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves,” James 1:22

According to Mr. Webster a "doer" is "A person who acts or gets things done"

If I go to church, listen to the preacher and read my Bible, but I never do what the Bible says I have deceived myself. The world is full of "pretend Christians" who think they are believers because they go to church and listen to the preacher, but they never change their behavior. They never actually do the word.

As a parent not only do I need to lead my family in devotions I also need to train my children to be doers of the Word, so I don’t raise kids who are “pretend Christians.”

How do I get my kids to be doers of the Word? I’m glad you asked. Here are some ideas. * Lead by asking questions. When you lead by asking questions it engages the hearts and minds of the people you are leading. During Devotions ask your kids “how can you act on this scripture today?” Have everyone write down something that they are going to do today to be a “doer of the word” (including Mom and Dad).

At the end of the day check to see if everyone did what they wrote down.Your kids won’t always do what you expect, but they will do what you inspect.
