Giving Kids a Biblical Worldview

Tedd Tripp, from Shepherding a Child's Heart, p. 46:

No wonder we lose our kids. We lose them because we fail to think clearly about man’s chief end. The chief end of man is to glo­rify God and enjoy him forever; therefore, your objective in every context must be to set a biblical worldview before your children. From their earlier days, they must be taught that they are creatures made in the image of God—made for God. They must learn that they will only “find themselves” as they find him. Your child must grow to see that real living is experienced when he stands before God and says, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you” (Psalm 73:25). If this is what you want for your children, then you must ensure that the content of everyday life fits this objective.
