Will God bring back children who stray from their Christian upbringing?
Yes. Parents should never give up, because children trained in the Word may stray during youthful years, but God will bring them back. Many return at maturity, perhaps in their 30s, realizing their parents' teaching was right. Do not cut lines of communication, for what they learned under your roof will someday ring a bell.
Les teaches that parents should never give up on children who stray from their Christian upbringing. Even though those children have been trained in the Word and know it, they may wander during their youthful years, but God will bring them back. Les says he has seen this happen over and over. When these kids reach maturity, maybe even in their 30s, they suddenly realize Mom and Dad weren't so dumb after all, and they come back. So he tells parents not to give up on them and not to cut the lines of communication, because what they picked up while under their roof will someday start ringing a bell, and they will return to those precepts.
