Children need a united family with God at the center.
The Word of God should be taught in households to help children with their upbringing, Proverbs 22:6 says. Children should be taught about Jesus and why He came to earth. I love You, Jesus!
A beautiful movie I watched inspired this post: Like Arrows.
Parents today will not teach their children about the Bible and to help them with their upbringing, so that they know right from wrong. Satan with the influence of the school education system is doing his best to keep God and the Bible out of schools, especially with man-made religion and atheism getting involved to keep the Bible out of the classrooms. Teachers who teach on the Bible are being persecuted for even putting up a Bible verse on the whiteboard/chalkboard. I understand we don’t want to force children to read the Bible, but it’s very necessary for them to learn at a young age, so they’ll get a grasp of who God is, what He expects from all of us and to know that He watches everything we do, and we’ll have to give an account to Him for what we’ve done throughout our lives whether good or evil. If we don’t give them some understanding of what the Bible says even though they may not quite know much about it yet, they may end up in a very dark place and sin is very destructive to each and every person’s lives whether they want to admit that or not. Plus, it can happen to children who do read the Bible often going into that dark place, it’s the people who we hang around with that may lead us away from God, but when we read little pieces of the Bible to children, they take it on board and absorb what we’re saying to them. That’s why it’s always best for children to have a stable home with both a mom and a dad who love them and for the parents to have a really amazing relationship with Jesus Christ and know that same love with the way Jesus loves us all and gave His life for ours.
This is Biblical Christianity:
We will never force anyone to believe in Jesus Christ, our job is to give people the information of their sinfulness which is the deadliest disease and let them know that they need a cure, the only cure being Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior.
Christians like me and many others want the Bible in households and in schools, not the Bible with man-made doctrine added into it which God says not to add to or take away from His Word, (Revelation 22:18-19) so people can be taught history, science and geography all in one, how the universe came to be, where we came from, how sin came into the world, what happens when we disobey God while giving people time to repent of their sins, turn from their wicked ways and turn to Him, that God is our one and only Creator, and so many other things that the Bible teaches us. Everyone would absolutely benefit from the Bible if Satan and the world system would stop distorting it, twisting it, making people believe it’s all fairytales, making it out to be so horrible and that we don’t need it to know the basic morals. As Jesus says in John 3:18-20: “He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” Basic morals come from God because He is all love, but we as sinful humans are wicked by nature, and we are naturally rebellious towards our Creator. I give all the praise, honor, glory and thanks to Jesus Christ for everything He does for those who surrender their whole lives to Him and obey Him. I love You, King Jesus!
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. - Deuteronomy 6:6-7.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. - Ephesians 6:1-4.
Heavenly Father, I pray if it’s in Your will, that all parents will teach their children about You and read Your Word to them while they are still young, and even if their children are led astray, they’ll know that their parents were there with them reading the Bible and wanting to share Jesus with them, Father. I pray that when the parents read the Bible fully, they know that Jesus loves little children, and He wants them to come to Him, because they’re innocent, defenseless, they say what’s on their mind, and they’re always wanting attention from their parents to build that strong bond which is a wonderful thing to see, Father. We as true Christians are spiritual children who want to build and have a strong personal relationship with You, with Jesus, with Your Holy Spirit and hunger for Your Word wanting to preach the truth and have humility, gentleness, integrity, compassion, lovingkindness, mercy, grace, forgiveness and peace which humility is Your character, Father. Mark 10:13-16 says, “And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them: and His disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.” I pray that the parents who won’t teach their children about You or read the Bible to them are not doing their duty to bring them up in knowing You or wanting to build a relationship with You and it’s not them loving their neighbor, because it’s better for them to stay away from other children who are bullies, out to take advantage, out to cause harm, danger, chaos and to isolate the children who want to have friends, and that they know what is right and what is wrong according to Your Word as Your Commandments are the Moral Law on how we’re meant to live our lives and the standards we’re to live by, Father. So, to be saved and to receive Your free gift of everlasting life, we must confess with our mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord, believe in our hearts that You have raised Him from the dead, repent of our sins and turn away from them, believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the atonement for our sins when we confess them, surrender our whole lives to You with the time we have left, be obedient, fully commit to You and follow Your Commandments. Little children are precious to You and are a gift from You and parents have a responsibility to train them and bring them up to know who You are at an early age before they get into their teenage years and the world system gets to them first, Father, then the parents will realize what an awful mistake they made in not raising them up in knowing You and reading the Bible to them when the parents had that chance, Father. I now realize that You choose people for Your Kingdom and not the other way around, Father, stated in John 6:44. I give You the praise, the glory, the gratitude, the honor and thanks for everything You have done, You do and You will do in the future for those who truly surrender their lives to You and follow Your Commandments. We love You very much, Father. It’s in the Mighty Name of our Lord Jesus, that I pray. Amen. Turn to Jesus Christ today, because we have no idea how much time we have left, and tomorrow is never promised at all for anyone. God Bless everyone!
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me. - Matthew 18:1-5.
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. - Psalm 127:3-4.
