The Privilege

"I believe that if an angel were to wing his way from earth up to Heaven, and were to say that there was one poor, ragged boy, without father or mother, with no one to care for him and teach him the way of life; and if God were to ask who among them were willing to come down to this earth and live here for fifty years and lead that one to Jesus Christ, every angel in Heaven would volunteer to go. Even Gabriel, who stands in the presence of the Almighty, would say, “Let me leave my high and lofty position, and let me have the luxury of leading one soul to Jesus Christ.” There is no greater honour than to be the instrument in God’s hands of leading one person out of the kingdom of Satan into the glorious light of Heaven." ~ Dwight L. Moody

We Owe Our Children

“We owe our children – the most vulnerable citizens in any society – a life free from violence and fear.”  ~Nelson Mandela

“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What do you owe your kids? I believe God expects us to give our children these four things:

• all the unconditional love and affirmation they can hold
• a great parental model to follow
• a Christian value system on which they can build their lives
• great family memories ~Paul Faulkner
