Life Shapers [One Minute Feature] - Trace Embry

Are you shaping the lives of your children? If not, it may be someone or something else.

Do your kids have access to digital technology? Be it a smartphone, television, videogame, or other device connected to the world wide web, our kids are literally being shaped and formed by the environment around them. Are you connecting to your kids?

Connecting to Your Kids

When we see kids, sitting down, lying around or walking along the road with digital technology in their hands and ears from the time they get up to the time they lay down at night, we should ask ourselves, “Who, or what is really shaping these kids lives? The popular biblical mandate of Deut. 6: 6-7, says, “These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home; when you walk along the road; when you lie down and when you get up.” So, are we giving time and energy to impressing God’s Word and values on our kids; or, are we allowing complete strangers, through digital devices, to do it for us?
