(Reprint Sept. 2007)
If my people, which are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Let us go back to the golden rules at home, and at church, our time is now. Let us wake up, stand up, and fasten our seat belt of righteousness and be about our fathers business. If we just trust in our Almighty God, He will give us light. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct they path. Proverbs 3:6
Let us go back to the golden rules of yesterday (long ago) and we will have better children in our church today. We need Baptist Training Union, Sunbeam, Red Circle, and Bible Classes for our youths. If we dont train our youths, Satan will. That is why so many of our youth are in jail behind bars. Let us stop and think. These children are our future, our tomorrow. We are crippling our children when we fail to teach them.
Someone may say while I am worrying about other children; I need to have taught my own. I raised ten children of my own. I dont think I did too bad of a job raising them. They are all pretty good people. They go to church and dont mind working. Because I taught them what was right. I am not saying they are perfect. We all have done wrong in life.
I love children and my prayer is to see all children do good in life. So we all have a duty to tell them what is right. Let us read Ezekiel 33:7,8. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
When I read Ezekiel it gives me a right to speak when I feel like things are not right. We are all watchmen if we are a child of God.
