"Active church participation" - By Neil MacQueen at SundaySoftware.com
In study, after study, after study, children who actively engage in a faith community on a regular basis are rewarded with a SIGNIFICANTLY reduced likelihood of problems and risks, and a significantly improved odds of happier, healthier, and longer life. These studies show the same results for adults as well.
Statistically proven active church attendance can:
* increase the average life expectancy of your children by 8 years significantly reduce their use and risk from alcohol, tobacco and drugs
* dramatically lower their risk of suicide
* help them rebound from depression 70% faster
* dramatically reduce their risk for committing a crime
* improve their attitude at school and increase their school participation
* reduce their risk for rebelliousness
* reduce the likelihood that they would binge drink in college
* improve their odds for a "very happy" life
* provide them with a life-long moral compass
* wear their seatbelts more often
* over 50% chance they will continue to attend when older
(Supported by research from Duke University, Indiana University, The University of Michigan, The Center for Disease Control, Barna Research Group, and the National Institute for Healthcare Research.)
To increase the odds of receiving these results, you can't wait. According to a Barna Research Group study, adults who attended church regularly as children are nearly three times as likely to be attending a church today as their peers who avoided church during childhood (61% to 22%, respectively). In other words, parents who truly want the best for their children should get their children involved at church now and regularly.
