Ps 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is His reward
Have you taken time to teach your child the ways of the Lord? If you asked children now days what it is that they believe, would Jesus be on that list? In a Hannah Montana society where young girls wear two faces, (one for the public and one for private)how are our kids to really know who they are and what they believe. Have they seen mom and dad on their knees(both at church and at home)praying to God? Have they seen you dance before the Lord? Have they seen you praise without worry of what you look like before a congregation? I truly believe that our kids are the Torch barrers of the future. They MUST grab a hold of all that our Elders have sacrificed and prayed that we could have. The church body as a whole is getting older, and slowly dying off(or falling off). What is to be the future of the church? Children must be a integral part of outreach, and general ministries of the church! Children should be witnessing and proud of the Truth that they have. I beg of anyone who reads this....please talk to your children! The word says " raise your children in the ways of the Lord, and they shall not depart from it." As always I love you all, and pray that God's grace and blessings are upon you.

One Mind and One Accord
Brothers and Sisters,
My what a journey! If you couldn't tell by my previous post, my wife and were not too happy with the church we dedicated our life and service to. After a lot of prayer and attempted council with my previous pastor, God spoke and said "follow the fire!". Although the world has changed His word has not. Anyways, my wife and I visited a couple of churches and found one here locally that still hands for Holiness righteousness and truth. We committed ourselves to serve under a pastor who preaches the unedited word of God without apologies. The sorrow and despair that we felt about leaving our previous church has instead turned to hope and Joy! I thank God for providing a new home for us! I pray that the truth finds it way back into other churches in this end time hour, and the people understand that Holiness is not an option.....it's a privilege.
Love you all,
Shawn
