The Time To Teach
April 26, 2018
What is the favorite word of a little toddler other than “no”? The word “why.” Don’t get exasperated when they keep asking why. That’s a God-given instinct. They are little intellectual sponges.
Isaiah 28:9-10 says, “Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”
Do you see what God is saying? “Give me a child, and I’ll teach that child doctrine precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”
Oh friend, if you train a child with a tidbit here and a tidbit there, and that child is listening, then he is also absorbing. Childhood is such an important time to teach!
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
