P by Brenda Walsh reparing our children for eternity is the most important job on earth! The Bible says in Proverbs 22:6 (ESV), “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” That’s a beautiful promise for parents as well as a great incentive to raise kids to love Jesus. A lot of prayer is needed to accomplish this task because this sinful world makes it even more challenging to keep kids’ minds on spiritual things. We are warned in 1 Peter 5:8 (NIV), “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls 3ABNKIDS.TV 18 PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/PHOTOHUNTER 3ABN Kids Network 3ABN World | December 2015 around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” This world we live in gets more dangerous every day, because Satan has mastered the art of disguising sin so that not only children, but parents, as well, are fooled by his deceptions. Some of the tools the devil uses are television, video games, books, spiritualism, and music, just to name a few. It’s not always the tools that are wrong—it’s what kids are watching, reading, and doing with them! That’s why parents need to make sure they are spiritually feeding their kids. SPIRITUAL FOOD During the holidays there’s a lot of focus on gift-giving—especially for kids. 3ABN has a whole basket full of spiritual food for kids of all ages. It’s never too early to start teaching little ones just who Jesus is and how much He loves them. My sisters, Linda Johnson and Cinda Sanner, authored a set of three Tiny Tot for Jesus books that do just that, as well as a coloring book, and a Tiny Tot CD with songs that are easy to learn and remember! There are lots of products for older kids, too. I wrote a five-volume series of books called Miss Brenda’s Bedtime Stories that are filled with true, character-building stories, and there’s a set of audio books with me reading each of the stories. They can listen in the car, waiting for an appointment, or even falling asleep at night—filling their hearts and minds with a desire to be more like Jesus! A special book I co-wrote with my friend, Kay Kuzma, called Prayer Promises for Kids is designed to help kids pray, claiming Bible promises—and all the topics are things that kids pray about. Kids are greatly influenced by music, and that’s why Danny Shelton wrote songs teaching God’s Bible truth. You can hear him and the kids singing them on his two projects, Love Rules and It’s a Beautiful World. Also, Jimmy Rhodes and I created a variety of music products called Kids Time Praise that includes a songbook, tracks, CDs, and a DVD of songs that kids will be singing all day long. Of course we can’t forget DVDs of Tiny Tots for Jesus, Kids Time, and Kids Time Praise. Kids can watch these programs when it is convenient for mom or dad, instead of having to wait for the program to air. Be sure and visit our online store at 3abnkids.tv to see all the products available that will introduce your children to their Best Friend, Jesus!
