Now in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 the part that I want to focus on is beginning like I said earlier in
actually beginning in verse number 14 the Bible reads
But continue thou and the things which thou has learned and has been assured of
Knowing of whom thou hast learned them and that from a child thou is known the holy scriptures
Which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. Now turn if you would to Mark chapter 10
Mark chapter number 10, and I want to preach to you tonight on this subject here. This is the title of the sermon
I'm going to get into other
Subjects tonight, and I'm going to go into some other details
But the title of the sermon and the thing that I want to start by talking about is how to win children to Christ
How to win children to Christ. Now Timothy knew the scriptures from the time he was a child
And he knew the scriptures did you notice which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
Through faith which is in Christ Jesus
Let me tell you something only the scriptures are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith
Which is in Christ Jesus faith coming by hearing and hearing by the Word of God
There's a movement out there to try to take away
God's Word from being a prerequisite for salvation and it's straight out of hill money, right?
Because the button I'm going to get into that one of my points to about a when you preach the gospel children use the Bible
When you preach the gospel to anybody use the verses use the Bible and the reason is that God's Word has the power
To regenerate the soul the Bible says that being born again
Not a corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God
Which liveth and abideth forever of his own will begat he us with the word of truth
That we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. How about John 5 24 barely?
I say unto you he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life and
Shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death and life. You see we're faith by faith alone
We're saved by faith alone
But faith cometh by hearing the sower showeth the word the Bible says and so salvation
Comes through hearing God's Word and then believing God's Word. That's what you have to believe to be saved. God's Word
You don't believe in Jesus, you know
There's another Jesus out there being preached according to second Corinthians chapter 11 believing in a person named
Jesus does not save you there are there is fan of people all over Phoenix named Jesus
And now one of them can save you. It's not just the name of Jesus. Yes
There's none other name given under heaven, but it's got to be the Jesus of the Bible
It's got to be the Jesus of this word and so you preach the word to get people say
Not just you explaining it in your own words, but preach the word now look at Mark chapter 10 verse 13
the Bible 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
Seven of them suffer the little children allow the little children suffer to put up with them allow
To come under me and forbid them not for of such as the kingdom of God now watch this next verse
Barely 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 bless them
You see the Bible says that children can be saved
People think that kids are too young they can't understand it
They're to wait till they grow up wait till they're a teen wait till they're an adult
He said if you're an adult you're gonna have to go back to the mentality of a child in order to be saved
He said you have to receive the kingdom of God as a little child to be saved
And so in order to be saved as an adult you have to have the mentality of a child
It's even easier for a child to be saved than for an adult to be saved
You see because the gospel simple when you're making the gospel complicated you can see why they think only adults or teens can understand
But when you keep it simple that it's faith in Christ
Jesus paid it all
100% Jesus
0% our works
0% turn over a new leaf 0% turn from sin
0% join the church
0% be baptized and a hundred percent blood of Jesus Christ on the cross that saves us
100% faith in Christ, that's simple
Even a child can understand relying on Jesus Christ to save them and get them back
You know how old I was when I got saved? I was six years old when I got saved and
Let me tell you something. I know I was saved when I was six
I knew it then and I know it now that when I was six years old
I believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and I was on my way to heaven and so children can be saved
They can understand the gospel
Now many religions teach an age of accountability is what they call this
Now there is no age of accountability given in the Bible. I'm talking about a specific age
Where you suddenly become accountable and when you can become saved or unsaved at that point now
The the Mormons teach that that age is eight years old. I don't know where they came up with that
I don't know where they came up with all the other weird things in English
But
They say it's eight the Catholic Church the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the age of accountability is seven
Now I'll say this right now
I
Do believe of course from the Bible that you know babies and very young children who died go straight to heaven
You know and you say well, how do you teach that? Well, there's three different scriptures in the Bible to teach that
It's not really within the scope of the sermon, but I'll allude to them second Samuel where David's young child
seven days old
dies and he says
He says I will go to be with the child
He's referring the fact that when he goes to heaven he'll see the child in the book of Job
In chapter 3 he talks about an untimely birth
Basically a miscarried child a child who dies
While it's being delivered or in the womb and is delivered prematurely this could go for an abortion this could go for a miscarriage
It says that they go to a place where there's freedom and where the servant is free from a perfect place
Where children go in the book of Job, I'm sorry that the one about the perfect place
I believe is in Ecclesiastes about an untimely birth
So basically an ecclesiastes in Job you have children in the womb going and by the way
It's a child not a wall of tissue or else it wouldn't go to be in a perfect place in heaven
If it passes away in the womb Job said why died I not in the womb
And he talked about it going to heaven again. It's not in my sermon
I just brought it up because I thought of it, but there's no specific age of accountability
You know I guess God we don't know everything
We don't know all things
But God knows the heart and he must know that a very young child is unable to understand the English language cannot even
Speak or understand words is obviously too young to make that choice
We know that God you know is a gracious
Merciful loving God and pitiful God and that's why and you say well
How can they be saved because Jesus died on the cross for their sins like he died for all of our sins?
Yes, a one-year-old can sin, but can a one-year-old understand and comprehend the gospel
Okay, no and so that the question is how are their sins paid for by the blood of Jesus?
Jesus died for every single person in this world and he can he can show mercy on whom he will show mercy
He can have compassion on whom he will have compassion and he's chosen to save all the believe on him
But apparently he's also chosen to save those who are so young
That they can neither believe nor disbelieve and so they are given a pre-passion to heaven through the blood of Christ
Okay, that's what we believe. It's God in the Bible three different scriptures. You can look up later
You can do it in accordance just look up the word untimely and you'll see those verses as well as the one in second Samuel
You can look up that story now
Number one, I'm gonna give you some points now on how to win children to Christ how to win child press
We know that they can be saved
We know that a young child can comprehend the gospel. What's the exact age?
I'm not gonna say an exact age because it could vary from child to child. I got saved when I was six
I've seen kids get saved over four or five six years old seven eight, whatever some kids
You know throw up fast and others some kids are smarter than who knows but that's not the point
The point is that we should take every opportunity we have to win a child to Christ
In fact, it's gonna be easier and you're gonna get more saying even than adults because they haven't been so corrupted and clouded by false
Religion by the time they become an adult number one win children to the Lord door to door now
Let me explain this first of all personally if I go to a house and a little kid answers the door
The first thing I say is mom or mom and dad home. That's the first thing I say
Okay, and if mom and dad are not home, I walk away
Okay, because I'm not gonna say I don't and you know, you may disagree with me on that. That's fine
You tell your opinion. I'm just saying this is what I do
Okay, if I don't know I say my mom and dad home if mom and dad are not home
I don't want to be put in a position especially in today's world where it seems like I'm talking to some little kid at the door
Okay, it's days world of
Perverts and weirdos, you know
I I don't want to come home and catch somebody talking to my kid when I'm not around and so now it's a teenager
That's 14 15 16 years old. I'll talk to them and I'm talking about a child answering them
I don't know why these people are letting their kids answer the door at some ages, you know
Sometimes I'll knock on the door for five year old kid comes to the door. Yes. Hello now
I wouldn't even let my kids do that and I don't talk to kids like that when their parents are up
I usually just hand them an invitation and say give this to mom and dad when they get home
You know and plus I don't want to ruin that opportunity to get the parents saved by abusing the fact that they're not home plus
Sometimes you'll be giving the gospel that child
I've seen people get got that job and then the parents pull up and
Blow up and they're mad and everything and then you lost your opportunity to to win them to Christ. Okay, that's my personal method
Okay, but you say well then how am I going to win children in the Lord door door door?
Well number one as soon as you're through winning the parents of the Lord if a child's there that's old enough to understand you could you
Could explain it to them
Usually a child is listening in and as soon as you're done praying with the person that you just want to cry
You know once they believe it understand it. You can ask the child then you can turn to the child and say
Did you understand what I was saying and then you can maybe go into a little more detail in depth to try to get it
But let me give you a new way that you might not have thought of to win show to the Lord at the door
I did this today and I've done this may I were you with me brother Dave when I was at Lachey's house over here
Yeah, okay. Let me brother Dave has seen you do this. This is a method that I use
Sometimes whether whether the parents got saved or whether the parents don't even want to listen to the gospel or whether the parents are already
Saved here's a method that I use and he's seen it in action where I say to the to the parents
May I tell your children a Bible story?
Now I've done this before and today when I was out so winning
I had a crowd of kids in this trailer car because I said to the kids and I said go ask your parent because the parents
Did not speak English
So I could you know, so I said to that I said to the child I said go talk to your parents
You know, I try, you know, they weren't interested
I got the door and I speak Spanish tonight
I do the gospel somebody else sings Spanish, but they weren't interested or whatever
But I said, can you ask your mom if I can tell you a Bible story?
so they all ran and asked and they were all excited and they got permission from their parents and
The parents were watching as I gave it and I gave this Bible story, you know, of course
What do you think the story was?
It's all about Jesus, you know being born and dying on the cross and that's a method where people will a lot of times will say
sure
Absolutely when we were at Lachey's house, that's what I did. I said, may I tell the children Bible story?
Sure, they all gather on there were what eight or nine kids eight or nine kids gathered around and I sat there and went through
With them and made it exciting and and guess what? I used the Bible verses when I did it
I didn't just I didn't dumb it down
I used the Bible verses so number one remember that point when you're out at the door
may I tell you children a Bible story and I tell the kids a Bible story and
Many times people will let you talk to the kids and sometimes they'll even gather other kids and set them down for you and you
Can preach in the gospel and talk to them one-on-one and get them saved
That's number one. But number two, you must be extremely thorough when you're giving the gospel to children
You may assume that kids understand
certain terms
Because you understand them but many children in today's world know nothing about the Bible or spiritual things
Even children who go to church every week are completely ignorant of
Simple viable terms many times all begin the gospel to a child today today was a similar thing
I asked that question had a group of you know, seven eight kids
Around me to hear the story in that trailer park where?
Okay
Let me give you an example. Do you know what sin is? No
None of them knew what the word sin is, but we might just blow through that
Oh for all of sin before
For all of sin to come short, but I take the time and explain them sin is when you
Break God's commandments sin is when you disobey God
Yeah
I give some examples of sins what they are because you don't want to just assume that they know what sin hell
Many children are unaware of the existence of hell we take these in program
But many children today don't even know that Adam and Eve were the first people on this road
They've never heard of Noah's Ark. It's not being taught in school
It's not being promoted on television and so many children are oblivious to these basic
Bible principles of what the word sin means even children who grew up in church
I talked to a girl who went to a pilgrim rest, you know
This holy roller rolling in the aisle Baptist Church and in Phoenix, you know
This great big pilgrim rest Baptist Church how many people in this church have been out stolen and somebody said I go to pilgrim dress
Okay, and it's it it's one of these ones where they believe it's speaking in tongues they roll down the aisles or what, you know
You know metaphorically speaking. They're they're charismatic, but they call themselves Baptist. It's just a bunch of rah-rah
I've talked to so many people don't try to defend that church to me because guess what I've knocked these doors
I've talked to hundreds of people from that church and by and large usually I ask them
Do you know for sure if you died today you're going to heaven and they said no
I hope so. I'm trying whatever something
I've met some people from there that gave a clear testimony of being saved
But the vast majority could not tell me is that in your experience saying? Yeah, absolutely
And so basically she went to still be present. She was 14. She's been going there since she was a little kid
She had never heard of the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. She was shocked
She couldn't believe it. She said that really happened
Are you serious?
Yes, of course that yeah, I sure I showed her a bunch of verses on the resurrection
So do you see what I'm saying?
You can't assume
That they've been in church that they know the Bible because many churches are nothing more than a social club and a rock concert
a big feel-good emotional thing
So number two, you got to be extremely thorough even simple words that we take for granted like eternal
Everlasting you must explain the definition of these words as you go and by the way
Everlasting is a good word to use with children because it's so easy to understand
Everlasting lasts forever whereas eternal is
Maybe a little bit tougher of a word still not that hard word, but it's tougher than everlasting
That's why I love the fact that the King James Bible is the only modern translation that I know
That even has the word everlasting in it
Did you know the NIB removes the word everlasting completely because the NIB is trying to be so easy to understand
They took out the hard word everlasting and they replaced it with the word eternal every time everlasting eternal are two different words
You say well, they mean the same thing
Well, they do mean the same thing except from two different angles the word
everlasting means it lasts forever the word eternal means it never ends because II means not and you know,
You break down the the root words eternal is like terminate and it means not ending
That's two different concepts
Because one of them means it goes on forever the other one means it never ends
Yes, that is the same thing
But boy do I really understand how my salvation is with both of those words telling me it's going to go on forever
it's never going to end God used both for a reason and
so it's two different words and
Everlasting is a great word to use with children because they understand what it means and
So, but you must explain them the definition of these words point number three use the verses
Say all the verses have big words that the kids can't understand then explain them the words
Expound to them what those words mean but don't do away with the verses many people they think when they're winning children
Lord, they'll use a wordless book who's ever heard of the worthless books
It's a little book with colors on the pages and they just talk about oh, you know red stands for the blood of Jesus
Brown is for you know the cross and they explain the cross and they go through this that is not the gospel unless you're
Unless you've memorized the person and you're quoting the verses word for word open don't open a wordless book open the word of God
What kind of a wordless book
But they dumb it down
Kids don't need a picture
Show them a picture of Jesus. You don't know what Jesus looked like
Show them the Word of God read the verses to them and use God's Word no matter what the age
They can understand it if you explain to us help them understand it don't change the words either
Read it the way it says it in the King James and tell them what the words mean and then
Read it the way it says it in the King James number four
And by the way, Timothy knew the Word of God from a child the Holy Scriptures number four
Use illustrations to help the child understand
Profound deep concepts now Jesus used illustrations throughout the Bible to help people understand things
He used those strains about things they understood farming fishing
You know looking for treasure out in the ocean
Looking for treasure in a field he used
Illustrations if you can understand use illustrations because some of the concepts of salvation might be a little tough for a child to grasp
Here's some example illustrations. You could use number one
I like to use an illustration about maybe being punished in place of a sibling because you know
You're trying to explain them Jesus Christ
Substitutionary death for us on the cross. So I usually show them that Jesus died for us in
Romans 5 8 but God commanded his love toward us in the wall
We were yet sinners Christ ever and I explained to them, you know
What if you were to steal the cookie out of cookie jar?
For example mom is gonna spank you and one of your other siblings took the spanking for you
You know, I just explained it to him in a concept
They can understand and I explained to them that you know, hell is a lot worse than the spanking
dying and going to hell, but Jesus paid that punishment for us and
by the way
When you give the gospel to children explain to them about hell I
Don't care if how low I don't want to scare
But you want them to go to hell, huh? Did you don't want to scare them?
Well, you can get people saved without telling them about hell, how are you gonna get somebody saved without telling them about hell
It's good. I mean
What are they being saved from it? What does it even how does the word saved really mean anything?
If you don't know what you're being saved from I mean something about that for a minute saved
Invade me saved. Am I in danger?
What's the danger? What is the danger of dying and
After death is the second death of going to hell. That's the danger
The danger is dying and going to hell and if you don't have a danger if you don't have hell
Then how do you have saved and so I always every time I don't give the gospel to anybody without explaining them
God's punishment of hell
Explain that they're a sinner and that they deserve good. And again, this sermon is not about how to win so many Christ
I've done sermons on how to win so many Christ. This is just how to win children Christ. So you are
In order to understand the sermon you have to know how to win so many Christ in the first place
I'm just adding to that. Okay, when you're talking to children talk to them about hell
Talk to them about you know
The punishment because that's how they're going to help to understand and they're not it's not going to scare them
They think about the stuff that they're watching on TV. It's a lot scarier than anything you're telling them on hell
Good night, but let me read this for you. This is from the June 2006 issue of the North Valley newsletter
This is North Valley Baptist Church in Santa Clara, California, which is a totally watered-down
Independent Baptist Church, this is what they have in the section called how to lead children to Christ say, oh, I already criticized
Well, why don't you listen to it and you tell me if I'm wrong how to lead children to Christ by Langford Oxendine?
Point to read this falls sin must be punished for the wages of sin is dead
explain hell
refrain from using frightening
Offensive descriptions of punishment and help you do that refrain from using frightening and offensive
descriptions of punishment help these are children after all
Instead focus on the worst part about hell now right away that that's a little weird
So I should stay away from anything that's frightening or offensive, but now I'm supposed to focus on the worst part
That sounds scary, but no it's either lying about what the first worst part is
Instead focus on the worst part about hell being separated from God
And from everyone else who's been saved from that awful place
So apparently when you're giving the gospel to children don't use any of the descriptions of hell that Jesus used
Because that's offensive and frightening so there's something offensive about the fact that hell burns with fire
There's something offensive about the fact. Yeah, I'm sorry, but if that's gonna offend somebody
Maybe they ought to get offended and then get saved
I mean that's offensive to tell somebody that hell is a place of darkness and
Fire and torment and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth and then it goes on forever
Look, that's what hell is how else can you describe hell? It's a it's it's kind of a warm place
It's a little bit warm
Do you like do you like cold weather you won't like it?
It's heck, you know
If you die, you're gonna go to hell. Okay. Hey kid, it's a
You know avoid frightening and defend or no refrain from using
frightening and offensive descriptions of punishment and hell
Because these aren't children after all
Instead focus on the worst part about hell being separated from God now
First of all, number one, you're not separated from God in hell. Here's a newsflash for you
Maybe you should get a Bible and start reading it revelation 14 10. It says they shall be punished
It says they shall be punished with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence
Of the land right they shall be owned by the way the verse boards. They have their tormented day and night
They have no rest, oh no, sorry to offend you sorry to scare you but your torture day and night in hell
according to Revelation 14 10 11
Your the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever
They're tormented day and night in the presence of the holy angel in the presence of the land
Don't tell me that hell is separation from God. You cannot be separated from God in this world
But when God is is omnipresent, okay, think about it
You say oh, well, the Bible says your sins have separated you from God. Yeah, there's a separation in the relationship
There's a separation fellowship, but I'm going to tell you something. God is everywhere according to the book of Psalms
He said if I ascend into heaven thou art there if I make my bed in hell behold thou art there
So there you have it and yet you can't show me a verse that says that you'll be separated from God in hell
It's a lie and you know where it came from the Jehovah's Witnesses
You know where else it came from Pope John Paul the second said that hell is separation from God
You know who else it came from Billy Graham in the 1960s was going around teaching
He said I'm not sure if there's really fire in hell
He said I don't know if there's fire in hell
But he went around teaching that hell is separation from God Billy Graham's a liar Pope John Paul the second burning in hell right now
The Jehovah's Witnesses are false witnesses
Right
Why are we borrowing their doctrine?
I thought we were vital to lead in Baptist who believed revelation 14 10 11 who believed David when he said that God is in
Hell and in heaven and on this earth that believe Isaiah when he said that a stream of brimstone out of the Lord's mouth is
What kindles hell?
Hey, God created hell. God is the one who's tormenting people in hell. Who is it the devil?
The devil's not in hell the devil walketh about this earth seeking only made of our and God is everywhere
He is in all things by him all things consist heaven hell earth
It's all the Lord's period and so don't tell me that hell is separation from God
I'm not going to take some kid and not tell them that there's fire in hell
But I'm going to tell them that it's separation from God look I'm saying people want to be separated from God
That's why they're not in church today
If they love God so much they'd be in church, they'd be reading the Bible, they'd sing the hymns
They want nothing to do with God. Oh
But don't you understand if you don't get saved you're gonna be separated from God. Great. So what who cares we don't like it anyway
Think about it and so no don't water down the gospel for children give it to them straight. Don't lie to them just tell them the truth
There's nothing offensive about the Bible
When the Bible talks about not offending people not fending children, it's not talking about reading them in Bible
Okay, the Bible is not offensive. The Bible is life. The Bible is truth. The Bible is health
Okay, this is what they need to hear and they need to hear the whole thing
Heaven and hell and so that's that's another point right there
But you know it was raised about taking the punishment for a sibling is a good illustration illustration about a gift
That's something that children are very understanding of
Romans 6 23 for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
That's a good illustration to use about how Jesus paid for it. We just have to receive it by faith believe in it
Oh, and by the way explain the word believe
Many people don't know what the word believe means and many people are twisting what the word believe means
Lately, I've been out so many and they say well, you know, but when you believe that means that you're following Christ
Or when you believe you're saying you're believing on the works that he didn't you're gonna do the same thing
No, they twist the word believe
Can I define for you the word believe using the Bible look at 1st John chapter 5 where the definition of the word believes found?
Very clearly we'll see what believe is 1st John chapter 5
Defines the word believe by giving us its opposite
Look at 1st John chapter 5 verse number 10 and we will see the word believe defined by it not by a dictionary
Not by religion, but by the Bible itself look at 1st John 5 10
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself
He that believeth not God hath made him a liar because he believeth not the record that God gave of his son
Now this is a verse that I show children when I'm winning into Christ when I want them to understand the word believe
And by the way, it takes me at least price
It takes me about twice as long to win a child award as if it wouldn't go
Because I've got to explain things I gotta be thorough they don't understand things as quickly sometimes, but look this is a verse
I like to show children when I went into Christ to show them what the word believe means and I say to them
I have a red car. Do you believe me?
They say yes, I
Say what if you didn't believe me?
You'd be making me a liar you'd be you're basically saying online if I tell you I've already heard you say I don't believe you
You're saying it's you that I'm lying and that's all believe means my friend don't say well believe means you're gonna follow in his footsteps
That's not what it means believe is the verb for the noun faith, and it's faith not works
Not faith plus works not faith automatically becomes works
No
It's faith without the deeds of the law without works and so that's a great verse right there to just
Scripturally define the word believe it's the opposite of making someone a liar
It's it's basically affirming that what they're saying is truth
And if you believe the record that God gave of his son if you believe this book you're safe
You believe Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world then it's all through him
It's by grace through faith and his shed blood on the cross if you believe this word you're safe
He that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me has everlasting life, and we are going through that so
That's another illustration. I'm the third illustration. You could use about being a child of God
That's a great illustration to explain eternal security eternal life
You're God's son, and I explained that how my son will always be my son. I'm gonna discipline him
I'm gonna train him
I'm gonna teach him, but nothing can separate that bond and that's how eternal service as I go into that
And then that's that that's about it for my points on winning children
I hope that'll help you out, but remember
What do you say at the door? You know you're done with the parents or the parents don't want to listen
Maybe you don't speak the language. Maybe the parents speak Spanish the kids speak English, and you don't speak Spanish
That's a pretty common situation
Instead of just walking away. You know talk to the talk to the ten-year-old child or whatever age
Today, I had a crowd of kids around me about eight kids
sit down listen to the gospel now one of them was older and
She understood it for sure and got it for sure
Did the rest of the ones that were crowded around me I wasn't really sure
Whether they were understanding I did the best I could to explain to them go through with when I was done all the children
Said that they believed it and they prayed and asked Jesus Christ to save them and put their faith on you know when we were
Counting up the numbers where I would count up how many people we had say I just counted the one
It was a little older that seemed to just completely understand everything
I said the other children were joking around a little bit, and it was tough to tell who knows you know
I don't know, but the point it's not about numbers the point is I gave it off with all these children
They all heard it clearly and and thank God for that. I'm glad I didn't just walk away
I mean I could have just walked away
But I said can I tell your children a Bible story and you know somebody taught me that and I'm glad they didn't because I've used
That to win a lot of children for and so remember that method
Be thorough
Explain the meaning of words believe hell at last take your time. What's the hurry? What's the rush anyway?
We're talking about a human being here
Take whatever time is necessary to do the job right this is never some kind of a speed race
Stop and take the time to win somebody the Lord if it take if you're talking to a kid if it takes an hour
Then take an hour
Be in a hurry. What's the big hurry anyway? If it was your child would be in a hurry and
By the way when your own child more, that's a great concept
What a concept you know
When you're child of the Lord
Many people don't take the time to give the gospel you know many times
I've sat down and given the gospel to my kids
Hundreds and not only that but I think about sewing and then they hear the gospel here the guys
They can all quote to you all the verses the whole thing they've heard it and they've heard it and they've heard it and and
Let me tell you something. I prayed with them again and again when they're young. I don't you say oh, man
They're praying over and over again. They're confused. They're not confused
They know that they're going to heaven because of Jesus and that means they're going to heaven because they're trusting Jesus alone for salvation
You see we bought into this idea that salvation some emotional experience
What was the exact day an hour time a day date?
Do you know that you have the date written in the back of your Bible, then you're not saying
You tell me what time of day was you're not saying you know these it's because these powerless
False
teaching evangelists and missionaries and pastors they want to go around and have some big altar call
So they try to get everybody to doubt their salvation
You know I mean and try to get them to doubt it because they didn't tingle and most are preaching
You know repent of your sins and look nobody's totally repented
So if you get up and scream and yell and and get all scary
If you got an unsaved person who you know is trusting repent of your sins
You can buy them to come down the aisle again and again just to make sure and by the way coming down
And I'll doesn't save you where is the saying the Bible come down an aisle now shall be saved
It says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ now shall be saved not some emotional experience. It's not some feeling
The I've heard people get up and say well
It's really hard for kids who grow up in a Christian home because they doubt their salvation so much
Constantly doubting it because they didn't have this dramatic life-changing event where they were living a filthy life and all of a sudden
They're living for God. That's not salvation anyway
you know why they're doubting it because you're confusing them with your lies and heresy and
You know you wouldn't be they wouldn't be confused if they knew that if they're believing the Bible and believing Jesus Christ
They're Savior and trusting him alone to take them to heaven by faith believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
Hey, they know what they believe and they'll know whether they're going to heaven based on what they believe in their heart
You believe that in your heart confess it with your mouth. Hey thou shalt be saved
And if they believe it they ought to know that they're safe
But not when somebody's telling them well, you know you got to turn from a wicked life to be saved
It's a lie anyway, and that's what's confusing people my kids aren't confused right now. They know they're safe
You know what they believe this book, and they're on their way to heaven
And if you know what let me just put it to you, sir
Let me just break it down if anybody who believes on Jesus Christ does not go to heaven and God's a liar
Did you hear me if there's a person in this world who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ who doesn't go to heaven then?
God lies
No, but they didn't pray right or they didn't come down now. They didn't repair
They're saying that they believe or else that looks not true because it says a hundred times
Whosoever believe it everyone believe it that is that true or not?
And so the kids that are believing that are saying now you got to believe it
They got to know what they believe if they're trusting works. They're not safe
If they're believing in another Jesus, they're not safe
But if they if they believe this book and the Jesus of the Bible rely on him alone for salvation
They're saying and by the way if you believe that you're safe. You don't need to come down the aisle
If you believe that you're safe. You don't believe it. You're going to go to hell
uniquely tired period and so I
Don't know where this stuff came from but it just keeps getting passed down for one person up passed down passed
tradition and repeated repeated
I
Gotta be changed
It's ridiculous, let's move on to different subject look at Luke chapter 18, which has number 18
So I wanted to just explain you how to win a child in Christ, right?
You don't say suffer the little children come to Jesus Christ, right? They need to be safe
It's easy for them to be safe because it's their mentality to trust and believe in God
Kids have to be taught evolution. They grow up today. They just believe it that it's God if you don't tell them anything
They have to be taught all this other stuff
But look look down at your Bible Luke 18 15 the Bible says and they brought on to him also. What's the next word?
Infants okay now. What is an infant?
according to the Bible an
Infant is a child. Let me just give you the definition of the word infant. Have you ever heard of the infantry?
Right
Okay, what is it? What is infantry foot soldiers because the word infant comes from a root word they ask you with walk and
An infant is a child who is unable to walk. Okay. So when a child starts walking, they're no longer an infant ladies. What are
starts with a T a
toddler
So you go from being an infant to being a toddler?
Okay, so an infant is a child that is unable to walk now in an infant be saved
No
Because infants now if it's an infant that's an adult who's you know can't walk
Okay, then they can be safe, but I'm talking about a child who is so young that they cannot walk
I'm talking about a child who's 11 months old 12 months old 13 months old. Obviously, they're unable to communicate
They're unable to understand God's Word to comprehend God's Word to confess with their mouth. I mean here they're young, right?
They don't understand the gospel. I can explain the gospel of my daughter Rebecca. She's not gonna understand
I can explain the the doctrine of salvation to Miriam who's been walking for a very long time and she would not understand
I mean she cannot comprehend it at this age of
One of almost two, okay
But yet these children were brought to Jesus why so that they so that they could be baptized
No, you got to believe before you baptize that's a 37, but it just says they will broaden him
Also infants that he would touch them, right? They just wanted him to touch them and bless them Jesus Christ, right?
I mean good night. If you were living back then wouldn't you want Jesus to touch your kid?
Absolutely, because remember everybody's touching his eel and all this stuff, right?
So they just wanted to get a blessing not from the Pope and people want the Pope to touch their kid like he's Jesus or something
Isn't it true? They want the Pope to touch them and oh this man touched the Pope never gonna wash my hand again
No, this is Jesus. This is God in the place. I want to touch her too. I mean people were trying to touch the hand of his garment
right
So they want to bring these in but they had this idea
Let's bring our child doing so that he can touch it and what happened but when his disciples saw it they rebuked them
But Jesus called them on him and said suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not
For such is the kingdom of God
Verily I say to you whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter their own
Look at Matthew 19 flip back just a few books toward the left Matthew 19 13
Matthew 19 now you use an illustration you have received the the king of God is a little child in order to be saved
Which is true. What's what's what's the mentality of a little child humility?
They rely on mom and dad they rely on their mother and father
For everything for food to clean them to change their clothing. Okay, and that's with salvation. It's all Jesus
You've got to have that humble mentality
You have to humble yourself to be like it's a little child we say but here we're not talking about these little kids being saved
They're tiny little kid and all he did he didn't bring him the gospel
All he did was put his hands on them and bless them and that's what it says
What we're about to read Matthew 19 13
Then were there brought unto him little children that he should put his hands on them and pray and the disciples rebuked them
But Jesus said suffer little children and forbid them not come unto me for such as the kingdom of heaven
And he laid his hands on them and departed them. So he didn't preach to them
I mean, they're obviously too young to be saved these infants, but he did, you know lay his hands on them
He did bless them. He did talk to them
He did speak with his mouth to them and black even the blessing out of his mouth and you know
He went on his way. You say what are you talking about? Turn to Matthew 18? Just one one chapter back
What are you trying to say pastor? What is the point of this? What are you talking about?
let me tell you something we ought to receive and
Not feel that it's a burden to have infants and little children in the house of God, right?
Now let me tell you something there's a tendency for people to reject the interests
Don't tell me there's not because we just read in the Bible three different places
Matthew Mark and Luke where the disciples said we don't want these little kids around the disciples said we don't want these babies around
We don't need infants around and Jesus called them then say wait a minute. Wait a minute. Come back. I
Want to hear you need to be here. Hey get that kid and let Jesus touch him. Let Jesus talk to that kid
Let Jesus speak to that child. You see no Miriam is not going to be saved today
She's too young to understand but you know what the seeds have already been planted in the mind of the Word of God and salvation
It doesn't mean that it doesn't matter whether she hears the Word of God or not
Just because she's too young to be saved doesn't mean it doesn't matter that God blesses her
That Jesus blesses her that Jesus touches her. Hey, it means something or else Jesus wouldn't have done it
And so don't tell me that the infants and children are too young to profit from God's Word and
And being in contact with Jesus
Think about this now and look at Matthew 18
why you do at the same time came to the disciples unto Jesus saying who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven and
Jesus called a little child unto him and said now how do you call a little child unto them?
Because there was a little child there listening to him preach. Are you listening?
Did you get on the phone and call a little child unto him? No, he said come here kid and he set them in the midst
Now what was a young child? What was a little child in the next chapter of Matthew 19? An infant according to the Bible
Just to compare spiritual to spiritual here in the same breath
He's talking about an infant and a young child little child
Suffer a little something to come up. He's referring to infants and here he takes a little job
You say well, how do you know it was an infant because he said it in the midst?
Now I'm not gonna pick up, you know, Brett and send him somewhere
I'm not even pick up Solomon and send him somewhere because he can what walk
You pick up and carry little kids. Maybe they're toddlers or infants, right?
It says he took a little child. Jesus called a little child unto him and sent him in the midst of it and
He said barely I say unto you except ye be converted and become as little children
Ye shall not enter into the kingdom. He's pointing at this little infant that has to be picked up and carry
Spoon fair, diaper, chain. He said that's what salvation is. I do all the work
That's what salvation is relying on me. That's what salvation is humbling yourself
And relying on Jesus Christ to get you to heaven. He said that's how you have to be
But how is that child there because the child was there and there and preached?
Because he said suffer the little children forbid them not to come unto me
Now, let me ask you something if Jesus was preaching to little children and infants and young children
Why am I too good to preach to a baby or a little child or an infant? Am I above Jesus Christ?
That oh no not in my service. Oh, no that might upset my concentration
Hey, if it was good enough for Jesus
It's good enough for me and children and infants of all ages will always be welcome in the services of faith board Baptist Church
Maybe if Jesus could preach to them all preached to if the disciples got rebuked for taking them out of the the preaching service
Then I'm not going to take them out of preaching service
I'll just take their rebuke and apply it to myself and say let's allow the children to get the blessing from God in this service
Said you know simply converted become a little children
He shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child
Remember, that's what I was saying. That's what the illustration meant
Humility relying on Jesus the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven
But look at verse 5 and whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receive me
Oh
Excuse me little children are not welcome in service
All right. Bye Jesus
See you later. Jesus. You're not welcome. Isn't that what he just said? You receive a little child you receive me. Oh
Sorry, a two-year-old you're not welcome in this service. All right. Bye Jesus go to the nursery Jesus
Go they got a plano grab for you there, buddy. See you later
I
Put you in the swing and turn it on and strap you in and you'll get your sea leg by the time you're you know
Three years old you'll be you'll become a great sailor someday because you swayed and swung in the swing all day
Instead of being helped by somebody listening to the Bible be preached
But who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me
It were better for him than a millstone were hanged about his neck and then he would round in the depth of the sea
Look at verse number 10 take heed that you despise not one of these little ones and
See by the way, the little ones which believe in him was not the same as the infants
Okay, just to clarify for you
He said of these little ones which believe in me as a different group
First I pretend take heed that you despise not one of these little ones for I say unto you that in heaven
Their angels do always behold the face of my father, which is in heaven
Now, what does that mean? He's saying you have to be careful how you treat kids
You know get away from me brat, you know
Get away. Sorry bother me, you know
We're too busy for kids here, you know, we got a special little place for you guys
Just get out of here and and we'll put somebody who joined the church last week
You know in charge of watching you so we can do the really important work right here
No, that's not right. I mean he's saying here look
Their angels do always behold the face of my father which is in heaven God, what's that time? What angels, you know?
The you say oh you believe in guardian angels
It's what the Bible says because I mean the Bible teaches guardian angels in maybe doesn't call model is worth but in Hebrews chapter 1
Are they not?
He said are they not spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation to minister to tell
Jesus was ministered to by angels when he's in the wilderness
Okay, then, you know, I believe that angels are a real thing
And obviously that angels are sent to protect us for whatever reason it's you know
It's a Bible fact the Bible truth and God's saying that you know, their angels do always behold the face of my father Smith
He's saying he's going to get the report, you know about the way that you try
And so you better be careful not to offend a little child not to be a stumbling block
And by the way, when my children watch you commit sin, that's a stumbling block
You better you better be careful how you act in the way you live around my kids or anybody else's kids
Because you're causing them to stumble you're fending them
And when you throw them out of church, I'd say that's a pending them
Many kids many churches you can't even be in the service until you're 12 or 13 years old because they have junior church
Say what's the difference between junior church because it's not church because it's not the assembly with all of God's people
What's wrong with junior church because it's dumbed down
Stop by a woman at the time and then you wonder why kids grow up and then they go to a church pastor by one
Well, you're the one who stuck them in some woman church till they were 13 years old
You're the one that put them in a class when they were eight and nine taught by a woman
They came and they didn't sing the solid rock. They didn't sing blessed assurance
They don't think to God be the glory in these junior churches. They don't think Jesus saves
There is a fountain
Jesus paid it all
Somewhere in outer space God has prepared a place and then you wonder why they go
You wonder why they go up and go to this while holy roller church
You know, I'm not saying that I'm not saying that all those songs are bad
But many of them are somewhere in outer space God has prepared a place for those who trust him and obey
Is that true?
God's preparing a place in heaven for those who obey
Trust him and obey
I thought it was his belief, you know what I mean?
But he's you know, that sounds that sounds like it's sending a pretty mixed message there
Say you say that the song is wrong. I mean right now right up right down right happy all the time
First of all, I'm not happy all the time
Jesus wasn't happy all the time
And not only that but that song just doesn't sound like it's real deep
I just think I think that you say what about deep in life?
I did not know what the song deep in life then until I was
24 years old I
sung that song
Deep and wide deep and wide there's a fountain flowing deep in life. I did not know what that meant. I was 24
When I was 24 somebody said it's about the blood of Jesus whoa
I'm not kidding. I mean I was shocked
I'm sorry, but I'll take the hymns with the doctrine and
But it's gotta be fine for the kids life isn't always fun
Church is not supposed to be fun. That's why you come to Faithful Word
Sit down and shut up and just get through it
Teach it to your one-year-old
It's true though. Life's not about just happy all the time
fun fun fun
Well, let's go to a church that's fun when we grow up right let's go to a church
Where you know there's a rock climbing wall in the auditorium, and we can we can climb the wall while we listen to the service
You know let's go to church where you get baptized in a bikini
It'll be fun
This is church in Fort Worth, Texas where they baptize them in bikinis and it's on their website
You know that'll get traffic to your website from a bunch of people who are trying to look at porno
I mean good night, but this is what America is turning to don't tell you say all that you're being ridiculous
Those kids aren't going to grow up and do that then why we're independent fundamental Baptist churches all over America in the 60s
Running thousands and thousands of people where did all those people's kids go?
They've been absorbed into the new evangelical movement into the charismatic movement because they want to go somewhere
Where a woman is going to preach to him, and it's going to be fun or a guy
He's just a city such a sissy that you know it might as well be a woman because he acts like a woman
He's he's a feminine
There's nothing wrong with a woman acting like a woman
Women should be feminine, but when a guy acts like a woman that just makes me sick
Yeah, and we got a bunch of well
You know and God never did women behind the pulpit or womanly men behind the pulpit
But they grow up, and they go to some cystified queer little church where it's
Where it's devoid of doctrine like junior churches devoid of doctrine
So I'm trying to tell you that these kids are growing up because if you train up the time the way you should go
But he's old and not depart from it
And if you train up your little infant child you say oh the kid these babies are too young to understand what you're preaching
You know what you'd be shocked how much they do understand number one
I've had my very small children come up to me and say things that show that they comprehend
But not only that number two. They're learning. What church is like. It's hymns
It's preaching the preacher
Yells the preacher is a man the preacher is preaching hard. They're being programmed
They're learning. This is what church is like. Thank you for bringing that infant back in the service right now. I'm preaching
getting it
I
Wasn't that so terrible that just ruined the whole service. Thank you for ruining the try to see see here's the thing
I was trying to get everybody in a trance right now
So that they would all come down the aisle
Everyone close your eyes
bow your head
Feel it stand your feet come to the aisle make your way to the front get on your knees at my feet
And you ruined the whole trance
You say oh, well people need to get how are they gonna get saved if a baby cries in the service?
How do they get saved our soul winning when dogs are barking rap music is blasting from the movie across the street?
Little kids are crying kids are screaming
Food is burning on the stove
Oh
Some trance that they're in where you hypnotize them oh
You're getting very sleepy
When the music begins to play
The moment that her finger touches the very first note of the piano when you hear that moment jump to your feet
Come down the aisle the choir is singing come now come before it's too late come to be saved
Where is any of that invite with its emotionalism
I'm all for so winning and compelling people to be safe
But you know what it's done one-on-one most of time in the by most of time the Bible
You know it's Jesus with the woman at the well and so forth
You
Know most of the time it was two by two being sent out from house to house
That's what I saw in the Bible
Towns and villages preaching the gospel came in a little town little village to whoever would listen whatever house would listen
But we think they have to be entranced
And it is and that's what it's like you know I learned some Bible covers
They said the invitation is what the whole service is about
They said the invitation begins in the parking lot
Greet them and bring them in and this is what they say they said the whole service is geared toward getting them to obey your commands
Because they said that's what they said why do you think we have people stand up to say sit down stand up sit down
It's to get them used to responding to what you say. This is what I was talking about
They said you say stand up sit down come down the aisle
Kneel it at our at the steps. It's just another command
They will made like 15 commands before you get the invitation turn in your songbook
Stand your feet
So they're just getting used to responding that yeah, that's going to be insane. That's the power of God
Okay, but we wouldn't but see the protestants have come this off on us
And we think that that's what church is about churches not to get people say our church is for the edification
Of the body of Christ church is for the education of the Saints church is not people criticize my preaching
Oh, you didn't preach the gospel
That's because I'm preaching to a room full of people that are saying
They need to hear other things in the Bible
They need to grow and learn and be taught and fed more than just say salvation salvation salvation salvation
Hello, they're already saved. I'm pretty sure that every single person in this room is safe right now as far as I know
and if somebody in here is not safe, then you know what it's not because they haven't heard the gospel and
So and by the way, I want to preach to the whole group here
not just the one person that might be here and not be safe and
So yes, I can see how if you're trying to get people in a trance so that they can get saved
When they hear that baby cry they're nothing on the way
No, I'm not ready
Where am I oh no, I'm not
I was just hypnotized there for a minute. I was just doing whatever the pastor said
And so look guess what don't get the people the gospel after the service and if kids are out
I take my kids out solely with me. Oh
but the distraction I
One time brother Dave gave the gospel this guy the rap music was so loud. I could not even follow what he was saying. I
Mean I just heard
And brother Dave
Yeah, and the guy somehow can understand me and eventually the music was turned off and he was safe
I mean brother Dave started kind of rapid. I
Mean the music was so loud. He couldn't help but start to pull with it
He started rhyming a little
Look there's distractions out in the world my friend
You with it
But look at a I'll close with this not
I'm running out of time, but illustration. Look at that separate seven
Give them a few things
Heaven and hell is in the balance here. We can't have a baby disrupting the service
Heaven and hell is not balanced right now while I'm preaching heaven and hell is in the balance out on solving
outdoor door that's where it's in balance and
You know what the children in here happen to be very important to me in fact, I think they might even be more important than you
are
These are the leaders of tomorrow, these are the preachers and so on as of tomorrow
I want to start training them when they're born. I wanted to hear the preaching the day they're born
John the back is linked in his mother's womb
But you're telling me that the preaching and God's Word has no impact on an infant
How did John the Baptist because he recognized the the presence of Jesus Christ in proximity in the womb of Mary?
Somehow he recognized that and leaked in his mother's womb
You know what my kids
They know the sound of my preaching when they're born because they've been in the womb listening
I mean I my kids start hearing this kind of preaching while they're in their mother's womb
You think they're gonna grow up and listen to Joyce Meyer because they're not
but look at this act 720 in which time Moses was born was exceeding a bear and
Nourished up in his father's house three months and when he was passed out Pharaoh's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son
and
Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and needs and
When he was full 40 years old it came into his heart to visit his brother and the children of Israel
So here's a baby boy. He's three months old
taken from his father's house
put in a little arc of bull rushes
sent down the Nile River and who followed after to make sure that you view him his sister Miriam and
His sister Miriam followed to see what would become of the child
Pharaoh's daughter herself was bathing herself in the river with her maidens
She sees this basket and she hears the crime
She goes over to the basket. She opens up the basket and the baby wet
She looked down on that child and she had compassion on him. She noticed right away. This is one of the Hebrews children
She said next is chapter number two. This is one of the Hebrews children
Picked it up. She loved him. She had passion on him. She wanted him to be her adopted son
Miriam steps in at this point and
Says shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for 40 and she says great idea
You know, she hasn't had a child. She can't nurse the babies
She doesn't have any milk and so she hands the baby to Miriam and said
take this to one of the Hebrew women to nurse this child and I would give thee thy wages and
So guess who raised that child until he was weaned from his mother's breast
His own mother his spiritual god-fearing righteous parents who by faith
By faith Moses when he was born was hit three months of his parents
Because they saw he was a proper child and they were not afraid listen these words and they were not
Afraid of the king's commandment. Did you hear that?
Godly righteous people they raised him for how long how long is a child nursing?
Till they're about two years old here, you know when they when they're you know, three years old
They're not still nursing
Somebody told me one time in school in Christian school. They said oh, yeah, the Hebrews are nursing until they were six or seven
I
Mean, you know when they grow a whole mouthful of sharp teeth and start eating, you know a cheeseburger, you know
They're done nurse
And so obviously children only nurse till they're right up to about the time they turn to
You know usually women nurse children
Maybe they stop at one year old would be like the earliest that they usually stop about one
Maybe then more like to use it. Am I right?
One two is probably good range not three not four
not seven weirdo
But the point that I'm trying to make is that that that child was only his parents house till he was two years old and
And
Yet by faith Moses when he was come to years 40 years old
Refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the trenches in Egypt for he had respect under the recompense of the reward
by faith
Moses it says by faith he forsook Egypt not fearing the wrath of the king
For he endured as seeing him was visible now
That's not familiar by faith Moses when he was born was hit three months of his pair
Because they saw it was a proper child
They were not afraid of the king's commandment and then by faith he forsook Egypt few verses down
Not fearing the wrath of the king for he endured as seeing him was invisible
Where did he get that attribute of not fearing the king's commandment?
Always obey the king. Obey Obama.
You think that his parents were a bunch of Obama Democrats
God ordained Obama obey Obama that almost sounds like a good slogan. This is the slogan of independent photo webs obey
Obama they should make it into a bumper sticker
Obey Obama
Obama can drop dead and go to hell as far as I'm concerned the baby butchering filthy murderous pervert that he is
Destroying America every day. He's only been in office for what five days. He's already
Funding abortions all over the world
You have a newspaper he fund abortions all over the world this week
He's already wants to spend a bunch of money. He already wants to sell my children in the dead into slavery
Obey Obama I
Thank God that you know most of parents didn't obey Obama
And you know what
Moses when he was coming years have the exact same attribute because when you train up a child in the way
He should go when he's old. He'll not depart from and he'll fear God rather than fearing man
I mean ideally fear both right obey obey authority, but you know what here God nuts
Demand when they're a wicked
Ungodly man who's going against God you say oh, but every show Romans
Let every soul be subject under the higher powers
Let me just I know this is going to shock you, but America's not a monarchy. Did you know that?
I know you're showing me all these verses about obeying the king and fearing the king. We don't have a king. Did you know that?
I'm sorry, but you you must not have been around there was this thing in
1776 called the Decoration of Independence
Where they separate themselves from King George the third right and we did not have King George w and King Barack
We don't we haven't had kings in this country over 200 years
And so guess what that you're gonna believe it the highest power in America is the constitution
That's right of the United States
And guess what else the ice car the people because we have a government of the people by the people for the people
And when that government ceases to serve our ends of promoting good life
Liberty and the pursuit of happiness the Declaration of Independence
Which also forms our founding documents the laws of our land the declaration of independence of the Constitution it said that it is the right
of the people to
to
Alter or abolish it. It's their right and their duty to alter it or abolish it
That's the Decoration of Independence and so the highest power in this land is the people because we live in a free country
Now look I agree if we're living in some kind of a monarchy where we have a king over us
Then we must obey that King
But if we have somebody who we elected to follow the Constitution who swore an oath or tried to
Execute babies, I mean execute the office of President of the United States
I
Think you would have memorized it. It's like 10 seconds on
Excuse me, what's the oath again, and then he swore it a second time not on the Bible?
Yeah, where was the Holy Bible when you said it right Obama because when you get the Bible back
You know what that probably was messing him up the biker threat. Yeah. He got in the presence of God's Word
It's like when that stupid
Idol fell on its face, you know in 1st Samuel they got and only the stump was left
Because as soon as you put God and his word and by the way, you know, it was in the Ark of Covenant God's Word
Guess what was in it?
Aaron's rod that flooded and the tables of the Covenant written with the finger of God
God's Word and the book of the law and Aaron's rod that flooded were in that art
They said that our kids today got he fell on his face before God
And when Obama dude you put God in front of him the Word of God he puts his hand on it
We wish he would have fell on his face and we don't have a stump of Obama
But but you know what?
He got all choked up. He said
Can we try it without the Bible this time?
And he tried it without the Bible
It's all they swear
Yeah, the president swears an oath to the Constitution that's the law
Hey, did you know that if there's any law in America that conflicts Constitution the Constitution?
Supercede. Yeah, because let every soul be separate the highest car gets to the highest car is gone. Guess who's next the u.s
Constitution
not King
Obama and as soon as our leaders are out of bounds of the Constitution. We got to go with the Constitution
Buried I don't believe that I don't care what you think that's where that's what the Bible says
And so let's close the sermon but the point is that children are inherited to the Lord
Fruit of the womb is his reward. I want to train my children up to be righteous and godly
I want to be in church in the womb as a newborn as a child
They're probably the most important people in this service right now are all the little children
Thank God, I look out to see all the little children. Praise the Lord. Praise God for
And you know what? Let's go out and win children Christ, you know
I'm not saying to go around and sneak into people's houses and and you know
Talk to some kid who shouldn't even be answering the door and stuff
That's not what I'm saying
But I'm saying get the permission from the parents and get those kids to gospel
Win them to Christ get them second don't miss that. I bet you're missing some opportunities out solely
By not taking time to win those kids to the Lord
You got to take that chance to take that opportunity to what to win them to Christ and then and then you know
Let's have them in the service. Let's preach to them. Let's teach them the hymns. It's not dumb them down
And now let's go right forward prayer
Father we love you and thank you for our church. We thank you for a church where children are welcome in the service
Where we don't see children as a burden or distraction
We don't see him as a nuisance, but your God we see them as the future
We see them as important people. We want Jesus to touch them. We want him to bless them
We want to set them in the midst of us in the middle of the service where they can hear God's Word preached
God we want to receive you we want to receive children and we want to preach to children the gospel of Jesus Christ
Please help us to have a proper respect and understanding of children
And we love you in Jesus name we pray. Amen
All right
