With or without God?

Today, I received information from a friend about a website "out there" called "Kids without God". It's tagline is, "Welcome to Kids Without God, a site for the millions of young people around the world who have embraced science, rejected superstition, and are dedicated to being Good Without A God!"  Does that frighten you in the least? How are you arming your children to survive in a world that would love to rip their faith to shreds? How are you arming YOURSELF so you can arm your children?

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 contains some answers:
“Listen, Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart.  Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
God's words need to be a part of our daily comings and goings. Our relationship with Him needs to be authentic, and our kids need to witness that. What we have needs to be impressed upon them, repeated to them. Then, when they are faced with the humanist philosophies of this world (like the ones found on the Kids without God site), they will be better equipped to stand firm in their faith.
