That All May Know Him

Thanks to our missionary friends, the Bowmans, we were introduced to the "Unreached People of the Day" that we just added to the sidebar of our blog. Each day it displays the name of a different people group to pray for who have yet to hear the Life-giving Truth of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. May our hearts be burdened for these souls. If for no other reason, I added this to remind ME to pray for those who are not just dying without knowing Christ, but those who are LIVING without Him. Oh, that all would taste and see!

A Challenge to Parents

"Brothers and sisters, if you want your children to have a reason to sing on Sunday, you have to give them a great God. If you want them to have a reason not to sin on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - you have to give them a great God . . . Because a shrunken God will have nothing to hold them when their friends are offering them the pleasures of sin for a season. We've got to give our children a great and glorious God. We've got to hold out for them the wonder of who God is.

The importance of all of this is that if our children are going to interpret life correctly, than they've got to understand who God is. You see, it's only the being and existence of God that will ever enable our children to interpret and understand life accurately.

If you are going to help your children to see those things, you've got to be a person that is dazzled by God yourself. You can't give away what you don't posses.

Oh, let me urge you as parents, don't polish the idols for your kids. . . Help your kids see the wonder of who the Lord is. "
