These kids are the next generation of leaders. These kids will one day rule the world. I am so blessed and honored to be silly, to dress up, to sing songs, and do motions, to play games that to an adult are silly, but to these kids, its is the difference between Heaven and Hell. Why can't we as the church, esp in America understand that fact?
Why are so we so focused on your own lives that we forget to build up next generation?
Two things I have noticed, one that breaks my heart, but the other fans a burning flame within my soul.
The first, is that the parents in the church in America have for too long dropped off their kids at church thinking that the Church can fix whatever is wrong with them. The Church, the body, has to have parents who are involved in the lives of their children not only in church but outside so that they can be raised up in the ways of God. The Church is not here to babysit your kids or to slap them on the wrist when they do something wrong. The Church exists to educate and empower your kids to have a growing relationship with Christ that results in the multiplication of His Kingdom.
It just breaks my heart that parents do not get involved in the ministry of their local church to help raise up the next generation.
What fans a burning flame in my heart is this: I serve an awesome God, a God who answers by fire, who gives us light in the darkness. A God who works through the little Children to impact a nation to seek Him. These children are having a blast learning about Jesus and who He is. These children will go back and tell their friends about not only the fun they had at church, but about Jesus and His love for them. I serve a Great God who has placed me at a church who is not ashamed of the Gospel, or stepping out of the bounds of traditional church in order to reach nontraditional children. I serve a Church who serves Christ with a level of excellence and creates an environment where anyone can come and learn about who Jesus is and what He has done.
