Ten Truths

10 Weeks – 10 Gospel Truths Over? Now what do we do?

Continue to make it your everyday talk. You never move on from the Gospel. Continue to build upon these truths. I know your kids are smart but I know that they didn’t get it all because I have been over and over them myself and am still growing in my knowledge and applying them to my daily life. (Seriously, do you fully understand and apply daily the truth that “God is the Sovereign Creator of all things?”)
A lot of you were such an encouragement to me as I got to see your excitement and eagerness to learn. I was challenged by the growth in your kids and in you! I loved hearing of your successes and your creative ideas. I loved watching the hunger and thirst and your passion to honor God by leading your families. I treasured watching 2 year olds name off the truths (in order and they can’t count!) and the older ones rattling them off and telling me the “So what?” (The implication of that truth). And I was humbled by your frustrations and your failures because I too have been there.
THANK YOU for working at sowing wisely. THANK YOU for persevering in digging and breaking up the dirt clods in your child’s heart. THANK YOU for taking the responsibility of parenting and grand parenting seriously. May God bless you and continue to guide and direct.
We are not done so fight on and enjoy the journey knowing God delights in you.
 
“…God is the goal of the Gospel. Heaven is not the ultimate goal. Sin forgiven is not the ultimate goal. Our happiness is not the ultimate goal of the Gospel. God is the goal: that His greatness and worth would be treasured most of all (Philippians 3:7-8, 1 Peter 2:9). The Gospel exists to bring us near to God so that we might trust, love, treasure, enjoy, and worship Him forever. And yes, that God-centered goal does result in our ultimate and everlasting joy! (Psalm 16:11).” (Understand the Gospel @ 2009, Michael, Nelson, and Burk p. 31)
 
“I beseech you repent of your sin,
bewail your condition, and fly to Christ for shelter.
And if it is your child, give heaven no rest, plead continually at the throne of grace till you have brought down a blessing from God upon your offspring.
Never cease to pray until your sons and your daughters
are safe landed on the Rock of Ages and so secured there they will need no other rock to hid them I the day when Christ shall come.”
 
(Understand the Gospel @ 2009, p. 87; The Power of the Cross of Christ, Charles Spurgeon)
 
So, KEEP GOING, and YES, WILL DO THIS AGAIN!
