How can we discern if a young person is a true disciple of Jesus Christ? A child growing up in a Christian home and in the church can know all the right words to say and yet still be dead in sin (Ephesians 2:1) with a heart far from God (Isaiah 29:13). This 72-page guide has been developed for parents and others in the church to help young people ages 11 and older who profess faith in Christ to examine themselves to see whether they are “in the faith” (2 Corinthians 13:5).

Jesus is still opening His arms and inviting children to come to Him. One of the ways we re¿ ect this truth to our children is by welcoming them into the most central, most regular, most valuable, and most corporate activity of the church. When we encour-age families to worship together, we communicate to the children that they are a part of the congregation and, as such, should be included when the church gathers to worship. The presence of children also serves as a reminder to the church of its responsibility to nurture the faith of the next generation.Yet there are challenges that parents, other worshippers and church leaders face when they include children in the church service. In this booklet, David and Sally Michael address some of those challenges and provide practical suggestions for parents and churches, in the context of a biblical vision for the active participation of children in the worship services of the church.

Children and the Worship Service

Having a long-term vision is crucial for discipling children and youth. This book presents a vision of indestructible joy for the next generations--a joy that can¿t be destroyed in the best, or worst, of times--a joy that can withstand the temptations, the trials, and the persecutions of the world. Each chapter is drawn from messages given over the past 15 years at the national conference for Children Desiring God (now Truth78). John Piper, Albert Mohler, Russell Moore, Bruce Ware, and more encourage parents and teachers to proclaim the whole counsel of God to nurture the faith of the next generations.

For the Next Generations
