Question to Ask Your Kids

It is amazing how much we can learn about ourselves and others, including our kids, by asking the right questions. Justin Taylor posted the following questions attributed to Rick Gamache of Sovereign Grace Fellowship. The ones I particularly like are in bold-faced, and I plan to use them on a regular basis as suggested.

How are your devotions?
What is God teaching you?
In your own words, what is the gospel?
Is there a specific sin you’re aware of that you need my help defeating?
Are you more aware of my encouragement or my criticism?
What’s daddy most passionate about?
Do I act the same at church as I do when I’m at home?
Are you aware of my love for you?
Is there any way I’ve sinned against you that I’ve not repented of?
Do you have any observations for me?
How am I doing as a dad?
How have Sunday’s sermons impacted you?
Does my relationship with mom make you excited to be married?
