LEARNING GOD’S WAY

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29

We just finished up a week long VBS. Someone asked, “Why do you do VBS?” I answered, “So we can teach the children about the Lord Jesus.” The fella looked at me like I was crazy. I expect it from lost people but this guy proclaims the name of Christ. So I looked at him and said, “Why wouldn’t we?”—No response.

It’s your job Mom and Dad to teach your kids about Jesus. The church is the extension of the home in which you can get help teaching your kids. The best way to teach them is for you to be there with them ever day VBS is going on. Your kids see it’s important to you so it becomes important to them and they learn without even knowing it! So if your church is holding a VBS—get off the couch and go support your kids and your church by helping out!

Don't stop now!

Be ashamed to die until you have won some soul for the Lord.—ME.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

A week of VBS is always tiresome. Early mornings and late nights make for one long week. But when those kids come in with a smile their faces, it’s worth every second, every tear, and every ounce of sweat! If and when one child walks the isle for salvation…the adrenaline starts pumping and we want to go another week. (Well, maybe not but you know what I am talking about!)

Child of God, there are weights (burdens) and sins that are weighing us down. (Hebrews 12:1-2) Will you lay them down in order to see someone else come to know Jesus? Will you lay them down in order for you to have true victory in your life? You don’t want to faint do you? You don’t want others to faint do you? Then lay them down!
