Sounds like we have some "babies" around here that need to be taught the Word of God.
Babies are usually fed by parents or older siblings. They should be taught to feed them-
selves in a while. They may be messy at first, but if continued to be taught, they will
learn to fed themselves. They should also be taught to feed themselves the Word of God.
There is a serious lack of teachers in Pentecost. Parents who should have taught their
children to listen to the Word of God in family alters. Also teach their children a love for
God's Word. Also teach them to pray. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word
of God.
Then when children grow and faith builds in their hearts, they should realize their need
of the Spirit of God. That they "must be born again, of water and Spirit". After they re-
ceive the Holy Ghost, the spirit of truth, they should desire the sincere milk of the Word
that they may grow thereby. Though continuing to feed themselves the Word of God,
the image of Christ should be forming in them. HE will grow/form in them and mature as
a babe does. Christ in you, the HOPE of glory. THe Spirit that was received will lead and
guide and teach as that person grows and matures in Christ. Seems too many parents
have left it up to the pastor, the babysitter or others to teach their children. Now we
are reaping the results of a generation of children that were not taught the good Word
of God in the home.
Many years ago I heard of a priest that said, "Give the Catholic
Church your children for six or seven years and they will be Catholics for life. Well, we
might not give our children to the catholic church to teach but if someone other than
their God-given parents were given permission to teach them, we have shierked our
God-given responsibility as parents.
Some just like to get a good argument going. Some sincerely want an answer. But
there is nothing like digging into that good "food", the Word of God to get answers.
Joyce Meyer said she has people all the time come up to her in seminars and say
things like, "Joyce, I wish I had what you have". She said "it is not fair for them to
want what I have without going through what I did to get it". Some want someone
to do their studying and tell them what the answers are, when it's time for the test.
Could it be that the saving of a soul is the miracle of the moment! But the making
of a saint, the work of a lifetime!
Not for offense!
