Re-Start an Old Season

It is amazing to watch as the world turns around us, the simple things in life that we miss. We have become so wrapped up into what we think we want, and the thought of being the person our peers want us to be, that we have misplaced our love for God. 

            Working in the children's program throughout this past summer, I became astonished to find that very few children know why we pray, or how to pray anything other than a scripted meal or bedtime prayer. You are thinking, they’re kids, they’ll be ok. Do kids not grow? Are they learning anything about prayer at home? Will they not learn from listening in the sanctuary? 

            I know there is no other place in this world that has this problem! Or so we wished to believe. I understand we are busy, with our daily lives, our jobs, our children, and our church events, but let's look for a minute at what we might be missing.

            The children in our world today are tossed from here to there. They have multiple distractions facing them every day, peer pressure, drugs, sexual immorality, broken homes, abusive parents, loneliness, depression, and the list continues to grow. These children need God, and God needs you. 

            I believe, our responsibility as a Christian, should be based on the His Word; 

Matthew 28: 19 says to "GO" and make disciples of all nations.

            The keyword, I believe, is "GO". We have made excuse after excuse for why we cannot do anything, but we have forgotten, who our leader is, none other than Jesus Christ. He said He will be with us always!

            Let me recommend, start with a simple prayer, asking for His guidance, His strength, and His direction for your life, and begin there. Do not mistake the post, this is not just about kids, although my heart goes out to each of them, it is about reaching those that need Christ in their lives. It is a simple procedure, if you reach the kids, you can reach their parents, or if you reach the parents, you can reach the kids.

            This is a win/win situation for everyone except our adversary. The parents win, the kids win, the church wins, you win, and God receives all the Glory He is due.

            God Bless you, and "GO"
