This is one of those maxims in life.  As a parent, if you desire to pass along to your kids a love for the NBA, or country music, or mountain biking, the best way to do that is to love those things yourself.  It’s true what they say:  “better caught than taught.” This is also true for the greatest of loves:  our delight in knowing God and making Him known.  What is it that a lost and dying world needs most of all?  They need the gospel message delivered with passionate, white-hot gospel zeal welling up from God’s people.
