Your Role as a Parent

Children are a gift of the Lord according to Psalm 127:3. Children are a gift that brings enormous fulfillment and joy, but one that requires a significant investment of our time, effort, love, and patience. We are commanded to "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). In other words, to discipline them, teach them, model to them, and love them in such a way that they learn to love God above all else, to trust Him, and obey Him. We are to equip them to love God and serve Him humbly and honorably all the days of their lives. The church is a key component in rearing children to love and serve God. It would be wise for parents to strive for perfect attendance at church like they do for their children at school. Noah Websters 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language has this to say about the role of parents in their childrens lives: EDUCATION: The bringing up, as of a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and for the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.

First Time Visitors

DO YOU KNOW WITH BIBLE CERTAINTY THAT HEAVEN WILL BE YOUR ETERNAL HOME?
Our Dilemma: We are, by nature, sinners who stand guilty and condemned before our Creator and Judge. In our thoughts and actions, we have disobeyed His perfect standards. We are sinners. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 Our Inability: We are helpless to save ourselves. Forgiveness is a gift to be received, not a reward that can be earned. We need a Saviour. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 Our Saviour: Because of His love for us, God provided salvation through His Son, Jesus. He became a member of the human family, lived sinlessly, and died on the cross to pay for our sins. Jesus is the Saviour! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Our Response: Salvation is an individual matter and requires a personal response on the part of anyone that wants to be saved. All who acknowledge their sin and place their trust in Christ are adopted as Gods children. Whisper a sincere prayer and invite Christ to save you. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
