b'In this day and age, a lot is being made about a child\\u2019s right to their own choices on almost all issues in life. And in many ways, I think it is good for kids to cultivate their own interests. For example, we need more women in the fields of engineering and mathematics, so we should encourage little girls who show interest in these fields. But recently mainstream culture has pressured parents into not sharing their faith with their kids, in an effort to let their kids form their own beliefs, they say. The problem with this thinking is the word of God - the Bible - says very clearly that Jesus has a heart for children. As parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles \\u2013 we who personally know Jesus Christ - it is our obligation to impart our faith to children as best we can. In fact, if we know how amazing God is, why on earth would we want to hide His gift of salvation from our kids? Walking daily with God is life with a capital L. The Bible says in Proverbs 22:6, \\u201cTrain up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.\\u201d If you are a parent or grandparent, I urge you to really consider how you\\u2019re sharing your faith this week with your family. Have an intentional conversation with a child in your life about Jesus. Be bold\\u2014kids are receptive, you know. This is Luis Palau.'
