    Kids In Worship...really?

    Contributed by Sarah Keith on Oct 10, 2009
     | 3,393 views

    Worship must be included among the basic disciplines of childhood in order to help them understand the honor and respect that is due our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    Can you imagine never teaching children the alphabet, and then expecting them to read as adults? Or expecting to have emotionally healthy children, but never giving them hugs or expressing your love to them? If these basic things are so important, then isn’t it equally important to teach children ...read more

    We must know our Father’s business in their lives ~ encourage our kids for God’s mission and call upon their lives. Even at time it may discourage you. This will keep your kids strong and encouraged.

    How we as adults reflect on our past sin influences the children in our lives, to expect censure or approval when they sin in similar ways.

    What my dad should not have taught me Genesis 26:1-12 My father has told me many stories. Most of them took place before he became a Christian, because I can remember his life since then. Some of these stories have elements of sin in them. My father and all fathers must ask this question: Does ...read more

    These three areas are so basic to our lives and determine our destiny. God's word shows us how important these are on just about every page of scripture.

    Let's say the 23rd Psalm together. (The Lord is my Shepherd...) I heard about a preacher who asked if any of the children could come up and say the 23rd Psalm. A little five year old bounced out of the pew and came to the podium and said: "The Lord is my Shepherd and that's all I want!" As I ...read more

    Raising godly children today is more difficult than ever. We need God's help at every turn. This lesson looks at two passages that point us to some practical wisdom for accomplishing this. My focus is on dads, but moms could use this as well.

    What does God Hate? Text: Proverbs 6:16-19 16 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to ...read more

    As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!

    When Jesus Christ was on earth, He was fully man and fully God! This of course is a mystery, but it is truth. This is similar to the truth and mystery of God is One but exists in Three Persons. If Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God on earth, how was His growing up? God gives us a glimpse of ...read more

    A short talk given on Mothering Sunday to a Church full of visitors, hence the gentle nature of the talk. God loves mothers, and he calls us to pass on the comfort that he gives to us.

    It was brought to my attention this week that most mothers hate four-letter words. In a poll conducted by a market research company it was discovered that the most unpopular four-letter words amongst mothers are ‘cook’, ‘wash’, ‘iron’; and my favourite of all: ‘dust’. An old Jewish proverb says ...read more
