Several years ago, some congregations of the Lord’s church began to explore why they were losing so many of their young people. One congregation discovered a correlation between the interest the parents manifested in their assembling practices and the faithfulness of their children. They discovered that the greatest impact on children came from their parents<\/strong> not from the preacher, elders or Bible class teachers. The statistics were very alarming and revealing.<\/p>\n

When both parents were spiritually minded and active in assembling 93% of the children remained faithful. However, if only one of the parents was faithful, that number dropped to 73%. When both parents were only reasonably active and faithful in their worship and study, only 53% of the young people remained faithful.<\/p>\n
