Is there a Christian way to celebrate birthdays? What are the spiritual dangers of turning birthday celebrations into occasions for self-gratification and glorification of children? Should they be praised just for being alive for one more year? How can families and churches use birthdays to guide people's minds in a spiritual channel?
This podcast, originally presented in a YouTube video, will bring suggestions about how to glorify God in birthday celebrations, and how to bring the birthday offering. The content is presented from a Biblical perspective and is also based on Ellen G. White's writings. This is the third episode of the series "Family Finance - Teaching Children Spiritual Values". It is aimed at parents wanting to provide a Christian financial education to their children and to prepare them to put God first in their adult life.
