Should Your Child Participate in School Activities? - Roderick C Meredith - February 1953

Roderick C Meredith

Thousands of readers have written us for advice in meeting the serious problems which children face in public schools. Should children join clubs, take part in Christmas and Easter plays, participate in sports after school hours? ALMIGHTY God, our Creator, wants our children to live happy, joyous lives! Christ came that we all might live more abundantly - have lives full of interesting and worthwhile activities (John 10:10). In order to provide a way for our happiness, God gave us His law - His way of life - to guide us in the paths that lead to that happiness. The early, Spirit-filled church understood that true Christianity is a definite way of life. In Acts 9:2 and 19:9,23, it is referred to as "this WAY" and "that WAY." The present organized society doesn't follow that way! "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it" (Matt. 7:14). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
