In Romans 3:18, Paul says:
"There is no fear of God before their eyes."
(Romans 3:18 ESV)
There is no fear of God in their eyes. Man in their sin, before they are touched by grace, before they come to know Jesus, they do not fear God. And I say this is the case for your kids. Do you know that your children come to church not because they fear God? A lot of them? In fact, I know of people in our church, where their children do not want to come, they really hate to come. I think at home, they probably have to do something like: "Come!" "Don't want!" "Come! I kick you if you don't come! Come!" And they have to drag their children to church. Of course when they arrive at the door, everything is nice and decent. But before they came, you do not know what havoc was there. That's why they're always late.
Now, do I blame the kids? Not in a sense. Am I saying this is good? No, I'm not. I'm just saying the reality is that when people come to church, it doesn't mean they fear God. There are many people who go to church today, they look like they fear God and they want to let you see that maybe they fear God, but deep in their hearts, they don't. Because we're not born with the fear of God and only when you're touched by grace, only when you receive Jesus into your life, only when you repent and believe, then there is the fear of God.
