If I may be real, for years I struggled with whether to share my faith with my children.

First, because I was wrestling with whether I truly believed. I still am. (It is they that endure to the end that are saved.)

And second, because the most detrimental thing I could do to my children's prospect of authentic faith was have it based on mine (rather than on Christ).

It is too easy for my children to accept what I say and mimick what I do because they love me, trust me and want to be accepted by me, rather than thoughtfully examining the claims of Scripture and coming to their own authentic, personal, battle-tested faith in Christ.

One thing I did decide early on was to convey that I would love them the same regardless of what they believed, not only because I want to remove any stumbling blocks to my children coming to sincere faith in Christ, but because it is true.
