Children are entrusted to their parents' care when they enter the world. They come expecting to be nurtured and trained to become successful adults. Their undefiled hearts and minds are pure and unspotted by the world.
Our responsibility as the people of God is to teach them His ways and give Him a generation of Christian leaders who will go out and represent Him in the world.
Who has God entrusted to you? Children mean so much to Him that it should cause us to stop and think hard about how we treat them. Teach the children about Him. Love them and give them hope so they can live the abundant life found only through Jesus Christ.

To Receive Jesus as Lord ad Savior:(Sinner's Prayer) Dear God, I am a sinner. I need a savior. I need Jesus. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose on the third day. I ask Jesus now to come into my heart and to become Lord over my life. Satan h; as no more power over me. I say with my mouth that Jesus is Lord. Father, help me to live for you, and thank you for saving me. John 3:16.
To Rededicate Your Life to the Lord (after falling away):Dear Heavenly Father: I confess to you that I have sinned. You said if I confess my sin you are faithful and just to forgive me and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I turn away from sin and turn to you, and I ask you to forgive me. I forgive myself also. Father, thank you for forgiving me, remembering my sin no more and allowing me to have right standing with you again. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
