Parents, you can use the Bible's record of the kings to instill in your children zeal for Jehovah's worship. Help them appreciate that Jehovah viewed a king either as good or bad depending largely on whether that king promoted true worship. Teach your children by word and example that spiritual matters - such as studying the Bible, attending meetings, and participating in the field ministry-take priority over all other activities. (Matthew 6:33) Otherwise your young children might conclude that being one of Jehovah's Witnesses is nothing more than belonging to the "family religion." As a result, they might put true worship in second place or even leave it entirely.
Is someone who has stopped serving Jehovah beyond hope? No, because he can repent and resume true worship. To do so, he may need to swallow his pride and accept help from the congregation elders. (James 5:14) No effort he makes is too great if it results in is being restored to Jehovah's favor!
