My pastor rocks!!!! Lord, bless him for his clarity in teaching Your Word. Amen
We are responsible for passing the gospel on to the next generation! The church is accountable to God for the spread of the gospel! The way we do this is not with newer methods, more programs or cooler personalities but it is simply by speaking the truth about who God is and what He has done. The Word of God is what the people want and need! We must have strong marriages and sound parenting while teaching God's word as true and living it out every day. Teach our children God is the beginning and the end, the creator, to run from sin and that God is our only hope. Teach them bible truths, and to exalt God for who He is.
Ps.78:1-8 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.
The cost to you may be great! Matt.10:21-22 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Matt.10:34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Teach everyone to stand on God's word. We fail, He forgives. If we are faithful so is He.
Ps.86:5-10 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace. In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me. There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.
We owe the world the truth about God. We owe our children the truth about who God is, and to teach them to obey God in their lives. By teaching the truth about God to all, they will trust God in their hearts.
2 Peter 3:5-7 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
2 Cor.1:20-22 For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
Lord, Your Word is here for all to see. Speak to hearts and change lives for Your glory. Amen
