“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.”

Believers are in the hands of Christ and guarded by the strength of God. Doubly protected! If their parents have done what is right and led them in the way by word and deed, then no matter what they hear, see, or experience in their life will pull them away from eternity with God. If your child is a believer any danger they face is limited to this life, not eternity.

Rich Tatum was concerned about what other children might teach his kids. What about what his kids could teach unbelieving children?

I get that, and I understand it. And my son is still in public school and there’s not much chance of my children going to a private school.

Nevertheless, whatever my level of faith, there is a real danger here. Without going into specifics, my son has shared something with my wife and me that makes it clear to us he’s overhead some explicit talk by a classmate he should never have heard. My little six year old now has knowledge of something he shouldn’t and no amount of faith on my part that he’ll do and say the right thing when confronted with sin will change what he’s been exposed to. The memories are there.
