The role of children in the church

Image
Children have a special role to play in the church. They may be the ones running around the halls of the church while everyone is quiet, yet they fill the place with much joy. Jesus loves children; He had them come to Him, and even commanded His disciples not to prevent them from being near Him. Image source:   blog.memorycross.com  Kids never have the problem of believing that Jesus is their Lord and Savior. Christians who have accepted Jesus before they turn 18 stay in the church, and are more likely to stay. The stories parents and teachers tell kids about Jesus impact their lives, and they carry these with them, telling everyone they meet about how good Jesus is. It is harder for older children to accept Jesus. It must be the goal of every church that they win over children for Jesus.  When a person learns about something, he shares it with others.

Giving seems to be a topic that’s highly emphasized in the Bible. Although not overtly mentioned as giving, acts like sacrifices and offerings pertain to it.

No Turning Back: What It Means To Follow Jesus Christ

Image
In every Gospel (i.e. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Jesus’s commandment to “follow Me” recurs. This commission was, in most cases, handed out to the Twelve Disciples of Christ. But this commandment is also given to those who consider Him their Lord and Savior. However, what does it really mean to follow Jesus Christ? Image source: beliefnet.com John 8:31 says, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.” Thus, to follow Jesus, to be known as His disciple, one must learn to hear and obey everything that God – through the Scriptures – is telling him to do. How can one hear and obey without knowing first His Word? God speaks to individuals relationally and intentionally, thus, it is important to spend time with the Lord regularly in prayer and read the Bible to know Him more intimately and to seek His will. One can also study the Word of God more by attending fellowships where sermons, preaching, and teachings, are handed out. Image source: re...
