(Disclaimer: This transcript is auto-generated and may contain mistakes.) Now in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 the part that I want to focus on is beginning like I said earlier in actually beginning in verse number 14 the Bible reads But continue thou and the things which thou has learned and has been assured of Knowing of whom thou hast learned them and that from a child thou is known the holy scriptures Which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. Now turn if you would to Mark chapter 10 Mark chapter number 10, and I want to preach to you tonight on this subject here. This is the title of the sermon I'm going to get into other Subjects tonight, and I'm going to go into some other details But the title of the sermon and the thing that I want to start by talking about is how to win children to Christ How to win children to Christ. Now Timothy knew the scriptures from the time he was a child And he knew the scriptures did you notice which are able to make thee wise unto salvation Through faith which is in Christ Jesus Let me tell you something only the scriptures are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith Which is in Christ Jesus faith coming by hearing and hearing by the Word of God There's a movement out there to try to take away God's Word from being a prerequisite for salvation and it's straight out of hill money, right? Because the button I'm going to get into that one of my points to about a when you preach the gospel children use the Bible When you preach the gospel to anybody use the verses use the Bible and the reason is that God's Word has the power To regenerate the soul the Bible says that being born again Not a corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God Which liveth and abideth forever of his own will begat he us with the word of truth That we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. How about John 5 24 barely? I say unto you he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life and Shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death and life. You see we're faith by faith alone We're saved by faith alone But faith cometh by hearing the sower showeth the word the Bible says and so salvation Comes through hearing God's Word and then believing God's Word. That's what you have to believe to be saved. God's Word You don't believe in Jesus, you know There's another Jesus out there being preached according to second Corinthians chapter 11 believing in a person named Jesus does not save you there are there is fan of people all over Phoenix named Jesus And now one of them can save you. It's not just the name of Jesus. Yes There's none other name given under heaven, but it's got to be the Jesus of the Bible It's got to be the Jesus of this word and so you preach the word to get people say Not just you explaining it in your own words, but preach the word now look at Mark chapter 10 verse 13 the Bible says and they brought young children to him that he should touch them and his disciples rebuked those that brought them but when Jesus saw it he was much displeased and Seven of them suffer the little children allow the little children suffer to put up with them allow To come under me and forbid them not for of such as the kingdom of God now watch this next verse Barely I say unto you whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child He shall not enter therein and he took them up in his arms put his hands upon them and bless them You see the Bible says that children can be saved People think that kids are too young they can't understand it They're to wait till they grow up wait till they're a teen wait till they're an adult He said if you're an adult you're gonna have to go back to the mentality of a child in order to be saved He said you have to receive the kingdom of God as a little child to be saved And so in order to be saved as an adult you have to have the mentality of a child It's even easier for a child to be saved than for an adult to be saved You see because the gospel simple when you're making the gospel complicated you can see why they think only adults or teens can understand But when you keep it simple that it's faith in Christ Jesus paid it all 100% Jesus 0% our works 0% turn over a new leaf 0% turn from sin 0% join the church 0% be baptized and a hundred percent blood of Jesus Christ on the cross that saves us 100% faith in Christ, that's simple Even a child can understand relying on Jesus Christ to save them and get them back You know how old I was when I got saved? I was six years old when I got saved and Let me tell you something. I know I was saved when I was six I knew it then and I know it now that when I was six years old I believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and I was on my way to heaven and so children can be saved They can understand the gospel Now many religions teach an age of accountability is what they call this Now there is no age of accountability given in the Bible. I'm talking about a specific age Where you suddenly become accountable and when you can become saved or unsaved at that point now The the Mormons teach that that age is eight years old. I don't know where they came up with that I don't know where they came up with all the other weird things in English But They say it's eight the Catholic Church the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the age of accountability is seven Now I'll say this right now I Do believe of course from the Bible that you know babies and very young children who died go straight to heaven You know and you say well, how do you teach that? Well, there's three different scriptures in the Bible to teach that It's not really within the scope of the sermon, but I'll allude to them second Samuel where David's young child seven days old dies and he says He says I will go to be with the child He's referring the fact that when he goes to heaven he'll see the child in the book of Job In chapter 3 he talks about an untimely birth Basically a miscarried child a child who dies While it's being delivered or in the womb and is delivered prematurely this could go for an abortion this could go for a miscarriage It says that they go to a place where there's freedom and where the servant is free from a perfect place Where children go in the book of Job, I'm sorry that the one about the perfect place I believe is in Ecclesiastes about an untimely birth So basically an ecclesiastes in Job you have children in the womb going and by the way It's a child not a wall of tissue or else it wouldn't go to be in a perfect place in heaven If it passes away in the womb Job said why died I not in the womb And he talked about it going to heaven again. It's not in my sermon I just brought it up because I thought of it, but there's no specific age of accountability You know I guess God we don't know everything We don't know all things But God knows the heart and he must know that a very young child is unable to understand the English language cannot even Speak or understand words is obviously too young to make that choice We know that God you know is a gracious Merciful loving God and pitiful God and that's why and you say well How can they be saved because Jesus died on the cross for their sins like he died for all of our sins? Yes, a one-year-old can sin, but can a one-year-old understand and comprehend the gospel Okay, no and so that the question is how are their sins paid for by the blood of Jesus? Jesus died for every single person in this world and he can he can show mercy on whom he will show mercy He can have compassion on whom he will have compassion and he's chosen to save all the believe on him But apparently he's also chosen to save those who are so young That they can neither believe nor disbelieve and so they are given a pre-passion to heaven through the blood of Christ Okay, that's what we believe. It's God in the Bible three different scriptures. You can look up later You can do it in accordance just look up the word untimely and you'll see those verses as well as the one in second Samuel You can look up that story now Number one, I'm gonna give you some points now on how to win children to Christ how to win child press We know that they can be saved We know that a young child can comprehend the gospel. What's the exact age? I'm not gonna say an exact age because it could vary from child to child. I got saved when I was six I've seen kids get saved over four or five six years old seven eight, whatever some kids You know throw up fast and others some kids are smarter than who knows but that's not the point The point is that we should take every opportunity we have to win a child to Christ In fact, it's gonna be easier and you're gonna get more saying even than adults because they haven't been so corrupted and clouded by false Religion by the time they become an adult number one win children to the Lord door to door now Let me explain this first of all personally if I go to a house and a little kid answers the door The first thing I say is mom or mom and dad home. That's the first thing I say Okay, and if mom and dad are not home, I walk away Okay, because I'm not gonna say I don't and you know, you may disagree with me on that. That's fine You tell your opinion. I'm just saying this is what I do Okay, if I don't know I say my mom and dad home if mom and dad are not home I don't want to be put in a position especially in today's world where it seems like I'm talking to some little kid at the door Okay, it's days world of Perverts and weirdos, you know I I don't want to come home and catch somebody talking to my kid when I'm not around and so now it's a teenager That's 14 15 16 years old. I'll talk to them and I'm talking about a child answering them I don't know why these people are letting their kids answer the door at some ages, you know Sometimes I'll knock on the door for five year old kid comes to the door. Yes. Hello now I wouldn't even let my kids do that and I don't talk to kids like that when their parents are up I usually just hand them an invitation and say give this to mom and dad when they get home You know and plus I don't want to ruin that opportunity to get the parents saved by abusing the fact that they're not home plus Sometimes you'll be giving the gospel that child I've seen people get got that job and then the parents pull up and Blow up and they're mad and everything and then you lost your opportunity to to win them to Christ. Okay, that's my personal method Okay, but you say well then how am I going to win children in the Lord door door door? Well number one as soon as you're through winning the parents of the Lord if a child's there that's old enough to understand you could you Could explain it to them Usually a child is listening in and as soon as you're done praying with the person that you just want to cry You know once they believe it understand it. You can ask the child then you can turn to the child and say Did you understand what I was saying and then you can maybe go into a little more detail in depth to try to get it But let me give you a new way that you might not have thought of to win show to the Lord at the door I did this today and I've done this may I were you with me brother Dave when I was at Lachey's house over here Yeah, okay. Let me brother Dave has seen you do this. This is a method that I use Sometimes whether whether the parents got saved or whether the parents don't even want to listen to the gospel or whether the parents are already Saved here's a method that I use and he's seen it in action where I say to the to the parents May I tell your children a Bible story? Now I've done this before and today when I was out so winning I had a crowd of kids in this trailer car because I said to the kids and I said go ask your parent because the parents Did not speak English So I could you know, so I said to that I said to the child I said go talk to your parents You know, I try, you know, they weren't interested I got the door and I speak Spanish tonight I do the gospel somebody else sings Spanish, but they weren't interested or whatever But I said, can you ask your mom if I can tell you a Bible story? so they all ran and asked and they were all excited and they got permission from their parents and The parents were watching as I gave it and I gave this Bible story, you know, of course What do you think the story was? It's all about Jesus, you know being born and dying on the cross and that's a method where people will a lot of times will say sure Absolutely when we were at Lachey's house, that's what I did. I said, may I tell the children Bible story? Sure, they all gather on there were what eight or nine kids eight or nine kids gathered around and I sat there and went through With them and made it exciting and and guess what? I used the Bible verses when I did it I didn't just I didn't dumb it down I used the Bible verses so number one remember that point when you're out at the door may I tell you children a Bible story and I tell the kids a Bible story and Many times people will let you talk to the kids and sometimes they'll even gather other kids and set them down for you and you Can preach in the gospel and talk to them one-on-one and get them saved That's number one. But number two, you must be extremely thorough when you're giving the gospel to children You may assume that kids understand certain terms Because you understand them but many children in today's world know nothing about the Bible or spiritual things Even children who go to church every week are completely ignorant of Simple viable terms many times all begin the gospel to a child today today was a similar thing I asked that question had a group of you know, seven eight kids Around me to hear the story in that trailer park where? Okay Let me give you an example. Do you know what sin is? No None of them knew what the word sin is, but we might just blow through that Oh for all of sin before For all of sin to come short, but I take the time and explain them sin is when you Break God's commandments sin is when you disobey God Yeah I give some examples of sins what they are because you don't want to just assume that they know what sin hell Many children are unaware of the existence of hell we take these in program But many children today don't even know that Adam and Eve were the first people on this road They've never heard of Noah's Ark. It's not being taught in school It's not being promoted on television and so many children are oblivious to these basic Bible principles of what the word sin means even children who grew up in church I talked to a girl who went to a pilgrim rest, you know This holy roller rolling in the aisle Baptist Church and in Phoenix, you know This great big pilgrim rest Baptist Church how many people in this church have been out stolen and somebody said I go to pilgrim dress Okay, and it's it it's one of these ones where they believe it's speaking in tongues they roll down the aisles or what, you know You know metaphorically speaking. They're they're charismatic, but they call themselves Baptist. It's just a bunch of rah-rah I've talked to so many people don't try to defend that church to me because guess what I've knocked these doors I've talked to hundreds of people from that church and by and large usually I ask them Do you know for sure if you died today you're going to heaven and they said no I hope so. I'm trying whatever something I've met some people from there that gave a clear testimony of being saved But the vast majority could not tell me is that in your experience saying? Yeah, absolutely And so basically she went to still be present. She was 14. She's been going there since she was a little kid She had never heard of the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. She was shocked She couldn't believe it. She said that really happened Are you serious? Yes, of course that yeah, I sure I showed her a bunch of verses on the resurrection So do you see what I'm saying? You can't assume That they've been in church that they know the Bible because many churches are nothing more than a social club and a rock concert a big feel-good emotional thing So number two, you got to be extremely thorough even simple words that we take for granted like eternal Everlasting you must explain the definition of these words as you go and by the way Everlasting is a good word to use with children because it's so easy to understand Everlasting lasts forever whereas eternal is Maybe a little bit tougher of a word still not that hard word, but it's tougher than everlasting That's why I love the fact that the King James Bible is the only modern translation that I know That even has the word everlasting in it Did you know the NIB removes the word everlasting completely because the NIB is trying to be so easy to understand They took out the hard word everlasting and they replaced it with the word eternal every time everlasting eternal are two different words You say well, they mean the same thing Well, they do mean the same thing except from two different angles the word everlasting means it lasts forever the word eternal means it never ends because II means not and you know, You break down the the root words eternal is like terminate and it means not ending That's two different concepts Because one of them means it goes on forever the other one means it never ends Yes, that is the same thing But boy do I really understand how my salvation is with both of those words telling me it's going to go on forever it's never going to end God used both for a reason and so it's two different words and Everlasting is a great word to use with children because they understand what it means and So, but you must explain them the definition of these words point number three use the verses Say all the verses have big words that the kids can't understand then explain them the words Expound to them what those words mean but don't do away with the verses many people they think when they're winning children Lord, they'll use a wordless book who's ever heard of the worthless books It's a little book with colors on the pages and they just talk about oh, you know red stands for the blood of Jesus Brown is for you know the cross and they explain the cross and they go through this that is not the gospel unless you're Unless you've memorized the person and you're quoting the verses word for word open don't open a wordless book open the word of God What kind of a wordless book But they dumb it down Kids don't need a picture Show them a picture of Jesus. You don't know what Jesus looked like Show them the Word of God read the verses to them and use God's Word no matter what the age They can understand it if you explain to us help them understand it don't change the words either Read it the way it says it in the King James and tell them what the words mean and then Read it the way it says it in the King James number four And by the way, Timothy knew the Word of God from a child the Holy Scriptures number four Use illustrations to help the child understand Profound deep concepts now Jesus used illustrations throughout the Bible to help people understand things He used those strains about things they understood farming fishing You know looking for treasure out in the ocean Looking for treasure in a field he used Illustrations if you can understand use illustrations because some of the concepts of salvation might be a little tough for a child to grasp Here's some example illustrations. You could use number one I like to use an illustration about maybe being punished in place of a sibling because you know You're trying to explain them Jesus Christ Substitutionary death for us on the cross. So I usually show them that Jesus died for us in Romans 5 8 but God commanded his love toward us in the wall We were yet sinners Christ ever and I explained to them, you know What if you were to steal the cookie out of cookie jar? For example mom is gonna spank you and one of your other siblings took the spanking for you You know, I just explained it to him in a concept They can understand and I explained to them that you know, hell is a lot worse than the spanking dying and going to hell, but Jesus paid that punishment for us and by the way When you give the gospel to children explain to them about hell I Don't care if how low I don't want to scare But you want them to go to hell, huh? Did you don't want to scare them? Well, you can get people saved without telling them about hell, how are you gonna get somebody saved without telling them about hell It's good. I mean What are they being saved from it? What does it even how does the word saved really mean anything? If you don't know what you're being saved from I mean something about that for a minute saved Invade me saved. Am I in danger? What's the danger? What is the danger of dying and After death is the second death of going to hell. That's the danger The danger is dying and going to hell and if you don't have a danger if you don't have hell Then how do you have saved and so I always every time I don't give the gospel to anybody without explaining them God's punishment of hell Explain that they're a sinner and that they deserve good. And again, this sermon is not about how to win so many Christ I've done sermons on how to win so many Christ. This is just how to win children Christ. So you are In order to understand the sermon you have to know how to win so many Christ in the first place I'm just adding to that. Okay, when you're talking to children talk to them about hell Talk to them about you know The punishment because that's how they're going to help to understand and they're not it's not going to scare them They think about the stuff that they're watching on TV. It's a lot scarier than anything you're telling them on hell Good night, but let me read this for you. This is from the June 2006 issue of the North Valley newsletter This is North Valley Baptist Church in Santa Clara, California, which is a totally watered-down Independent Baptist Church, this is what they have in the section called how to lead children to Christ say, oh, I already criticized Well, why don't you listen to it and you tell me if I'm wrong how to lead children to Christ by Langford Oxendine? Point to read this falls sin must be punished for the wages of sin is dead explain hell refrain from using frightening Offensive descriptions of punishment and help you do that refrain from using frightening and offensive descriptions of punishment help these are children after all Instead focus on the worst part about hell now right away that that's a little weird So I should stay away from anything that's frightening or offensive, but now I'm supposed to focus on the worst part That sounds scary, but no it's either lying about what the first worst part is Instead focus on the worst part about hell being separated from God And from everyone else who's been saved from that awful place So apparently when you're giving the gospel to children don't use any of the descriptions of hell that Jesus used Because that's offensive and frightening so there's something offensive about the fact that hell burns with fire There's something offensive about the fact. Yeah, I'm sorry, but if that's gonna offend somebody Maybe they ought to get offended and then get saved I mean that's offensive to tell somebody that hell is a place of darkness and Fire and torment and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth and then it goes on forever Look, that's what hell is how else can you describe hell? It's a it's it's kind of a warm place It's a little bit warm Do you like do you like cold weather you won't like it? It's heck, you know If you die, you're gonna go to hell. Okay. Hey kid, it's a You know avoid frightening and defend or no refrain from using frightening and offensive descriptions of punishment and hell Because these aren't children after all Instead focus on the worst part about hell being separated from God now First of all, number one, you're not separated from God in hell. Here's a newsflash for you Maybe you should get a Bible and start reading it revelation 14 10. It says they shall be punished It says they shall be punished with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence Of the land right they shall be owned by the way the verse boards. They have their tormented day and night They have no rest, oh no, sorry to offend you sorry to scare you but your torture day and night in hell according to Revelation 14 10 11 Your the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever They're tormented day and night in the presence of the holy angel in the presence of the land Don't tell me that hell is separation from God. You cannot be separated from God in this world But when God is is omnipresent, okay, think about it You say oh, well, the Bible says your sins have separated you from God. Yeah, there's a separation in the relationship There's a separation fellowship, but I'm going to tell you something. God is everywhere according to the book of Psalms He said if I ascend into heaven thou art there if I make my bed in hell behold thou art there So there you have it and yet you can't show me a verse that says that you'll be separated from God in hell It's a lie and you know where it came from the Jehovah's Witnesses You know where else it came from Pope John Paul the second said that hell is separation from God You know who else it came from Billy Graham in the 1960s was going around teaching He said I'm not sure if there's really fire in hell He said I don't know if there's fire in hell But he went around teaching that hell is separation from God Billy Graham's a liar Pope John Paul the second burning in hell right now The Jehovah's Witnesses are false witnesses Right Why are we borrowing their doctrine? I thought we were vital to lead in Baptist who believed revelation 14 10 11 who believed David when he said that God is in Hell and in heaven and on this earth that believe Isaiah when he said that a stream of brimstone out of the Lord's mouth is What kindles hell? Hey, God created hell. God is the one who's tormenting people in hell. Who is it the devil? The devil's not in hell the devil walketh about this earth seeking only made of our and God is everywhere He is in all things by him all things consist heaven hell earth It's all the Lord's period and so don't tell me that hell is separation from God I'm not going to take some kid and not tell them that there's fire in hell But I'm going to tell them that it's separation from God look I'm saying people want to be separated from God That's why they're not in church today If they love God so much they'd be in church, they'd be reading the Bible, they'd sing the hymns They want nothing to do with God. Oh But don't you understand if you don't get saved you're gonna be separated from God. Great. So what who cares we don't like it anyway Think about it and so no don't water down the gospel for children give it to them straight. Don't lie to them just tell them the truth There's nothing offensive about the Bible When the Bible talks about not offending people not fending children, it's not talking about reading them in Bible Okay, the Bible is not offensive. The Bible is life. The Bible is truth. The Bible is health Okay, this is what they need to hear and they need to hear the whole thing Heaven and hell and so that's that's another point right there But you know it was raised about taking the punishment for a sibling is a good illustration illustration about a gift That's something that children are very understanding of Romans 6 23 for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord That's a good illustration to use about how Jesus paid for it. We just have to receive it by faith believe in it Oh, and by the way explain the word believe Many people don't know what the word believe means and many people are twisting what the word believe means Lately, I've been out so many and they say well, you know, but when you believe that means that you're following Christ Or when you believe you're saying you're believing on the works that he didn't you're gonna do the same thing No, they twist the word believe Can I define for you the word believe using the Bible look at 1st John chapter 5 where the definition of the word believes found? Very clearly we'll see what believe is 1st John chapter 5 Defines the word believe by giving us its opposite Look at 1st John chapter 5 verse number 10 and we will see the word believe defined by it not by a dictionary Not by religion, but by the Bible itself look at 1st John 5 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself He that believeth not God hath made him a liar because he believeth not the record that God gave of his son Now this is a verse that I show children when I'm winning into Christ when I want them to understand the word believe And by the way, it takes me at least price It takes me about twice as long to win a child award as if it wouldn't go Because I've got to explain things I gotta be thorough they don't understand things as quickly sometimes, but look this is a verse I like to show children when I went into Christ to show them what the word believe means and I say to them I have a red car. Do you believe me? They say yes, I Say what if you didn't believe me? You'd be making me a liar you'd be you're basically saying online if I tell you I've already heard you say I don't believe you You're saying it's you that I'm lying and that's all believe means my friend don't say well believe means you're gonna follow in his footsteps That's not what it means believe is the verb for the noun faith, and it's faith not works Not faith plus works not faith automatically becomes works No It's faith without the deeds of the law without works and so that's a great verse right there to just Scripturally define the word believe it's the opposite of making someone a liar It's it's basically affirming that what they're saying is truth And if you believe the record that God gave of his son if you believe this book you're safe You believe Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world then it's all through him It's by grace through faith and his shed blood on the cross if you believe this word you're safe He that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me has everlasting life, and we are going through that so That's another illustration. I'm the third illustration. You could use about being a child of God That's a great illustration to explain eternal security eternal life You're God's son, and I explained that how my son will always be my son. I'm gonna discipline him I'm gonna train him I'm gonna teach him, but nothing can separate that bond and that's how eternal service as I go into that And then that's that that's about it for my points on winning children I hope that'll help you out, but remember What do you say at the door? You know you're done with the parents or the parents don't want to listen Maybe you don't speak the language. Maybe the parents speak Spanish the kids speak English, and you don't speak Spanish That's a pretty common situation Instead of just walking away. You know talk to the talk to the ten-year-old child or whatever age Today, I had a crowd of kids around me about eight kids sit down listen to the gospel now one of them was older and She understood it for sure and got it for sure Did the rest of the ones that were crowded around me I wasn't really sure Whether they were understanding I did the best I could to explain to them go through with when I was done all the children Said that they believed it and they prayed and asked Jesus Christ to save them and put their faith on you know when we were Counting up the numbers where I would count up how many people we had say I just counted the one It was a little older that seemed to just completely understand everything I said the other children were joking around a little bit, and it was tough to tell who knows you know I don't know, but the point it's not about numbers the point is I gave it off with all these children They all heard it clearly and and thank God for that. I'm glad I didn't just walk away I mean I could have just walked away But I said can I tell your children a Bible story and you know somebody taught me that and I'm glad they didn't because I've used That to win a lot of children for and so remember that method Be thorough Explain the meaning of words believe hell at last take your time. What's the hurry? What's the rush anyway? We're talking about a human being here Take whatever time is necessary to do the job right this is never some kind of a speed race Stop and take the time to win somebody the Lord if it take if you're talking to a kid if it takes an hour Then take an hour Be in a hurry. What's the big hurry anyway? If it was your child would be in a hurry and By the way when your own child more, that's a great concept What a concept you know When you're child of the Lord Many people don't take the time to give the gospel you know many times I've sat down and given the gospel to my kids Hundreds and not only that but I think about sewing and then they hear the gospel here the guys They can all quote to you all the verses the whole thing they've heard it and they've heard it and they've heard it and and Let me tell you something. I prayed with them again and again when they're young. I don't you say oh, man They're praying over and over again. They're confused. They're not confused They know that they're going to heaven because of Jesus and that means they're going to heaven because they're trusting Jesus alone for salvation You see we bought into this idea that salvation some emotional experience What was the exact day an hour time a day date? Do you know that you have the date written in the back of your Bible, then you're not saying You tell me what time of day was you're not saying you know these it's because these powerless False teaching evangelists and missionaries and pastors they want to go around and have some big altar call So they try to get everybody to doubt their salvation You know I mean and try to get them to doubt it because they didn't tingle and most are preaching You know repent of your sins and look nobody's totally repented So if you get up and scream and yell and and get all scary If you got an unsaved person who you know is trusting repent of your sins You can buy them to come down the aisle again and again just to make sure and by the way coming down And I'll doesn't save you where is the saying the Bible come down an aisle now shall be saved It says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ now shall be saved not some emotional experience. It's not some feeling The I've heard people get up and say well It's really hard for kids who grow up in a Christian home because they doubt their salvation so much Constantly doubting it because they didn't have this dramatic life-changing event where they were living a filthy life and all of a sudden They're living for God. That's not salvation anyway you know why they're doubting it because you're confusing them with your lies and heresy and You know you wouldn't be they wouldn't be confused if they knew that if they're believing the Bible and believing Jesus Christ They're Savior and trusting him alone to take them to heaven by faith believe on the Lord Jesus Christ Hey, they know what they believe and they'll know whether they're going to heaven based on what they believe in their heart You believe that in your heart confess it with your mouth. Hey thou shalt be saved And if they believe it they ought to know that they're safe But not when somebody's telling them well, you know you got to turn from a wicked life to be saved It's a lie anyway, and that's what's confusing people my kids aren't confused right now. They know they're safe You know what they believe this book, and they're on their way to heaven And if you know what let me just put it to you, sir Let me just break it down if anybody who believes on Jesus Christ does not go to heaven and God's a liar Did you hear me if there's a person in this world who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ who doesn't go to heaven then? God lies No, but they didn't pray right or they didn't come down now. They didn't repair They're saying that they believe or else that looks not true because it says a hundred times Whosoever believe it everyone believe it that is that true or not? And so the kids that are believing that are saying now you got to believe it They got to know what they believe if they're trusting works. They're not safe If they're believing in another Jesus, they're not safe But if they if they believe this book and the Jesus of the Bible rely on him alone for salvation They're saying and by the way if you believe that you're safe. You don't need to come down the aisle If you believe that you're safe. You don't believe it. You're going to go to hell uniquely tired period and so I Don't know where this stuff came from but it just keeps getting passed down for one person up passed down passed tradition and repeated repeated I Gotta be changed It's ridiculous, let's move on to different subject look at Luke chapter 18, which has number 18 So I wanted to just explain you how to win a child in Christ, right? You don't say suffer the little children come to Jesus Christ, right? They need to be safe It's easy for them to be safe because it's their mentality to trust and believe in God Kids have to be taught evolution. They grow up today. They just believe it that it's God if you don't tell them anything They have to be taught all this other stuff But look look down at your Bible Luke 18 15 the Bible says and they brought on to him also. What's the next word? Infants okay now. What is an infant? according to the Bible an Infant is a child. Let me just give you the definition of the word infant. Have you ever heard of the infantry? Right Okay, what is it? What is infantry foot soldiers because the word infant comes from a root word they ask you with walk and An infant is a child who is unable to walk. Okay. So when a child starts walking, they're no longer an infant ladies. What are starts with a T a toddler So you go from being an infant to being a toddler? Okay, so an infant is a child that is unable to walk now in an infant be saved No Because infants now if it's an infant that's an adult who's you know can't walk Okay, then they can be safe, but I'm talking about a child who is so young that they cannot walk I'm talking about a child who's 11 months old 12 months old 13 months old. Obviously, they're unable to communicate They're unable to understand God's Word to comprehend God's Word to confess with their mouth. I mean here they're young, right? They don't understand the gospel. I can explain the gospel of my daughter Rebecca. She's not gonna understand I can explain the the doctrine of salvation to Miriam who's been walking for a very long time and she would not understand I mean she cannot comprehend it at this age of One of almost two, okay But yet these children were brought to Jesus why so that they so that they could be baptized No, you got to believe before you baptize that's a 37, but it just says they will broaden him Also infants that he would touch them, right? They just wanted him to touch them and bless them Jesus Christ, right? I mean good night. If you were living back then wouldn't you want Jesus to touch your kid? Absolutely, because remember everybody's touching his eel and all this stuff, right? So they just wanted to get a blessing not from the Pope and people want the Pope to touch their kid like he's Jesus or something Isn't it true? They want the Pope to touch them and oh this man touched the Pope never gonna wash my hand again No, this is Jesus. This is God in the place. I want to touch her too. I mean people were trying to touch the hand of his garment right So they want to bring these in but they had this idea Let's bring our child doing so that he can touch it and what happened but when his disciples saw it they rebuked them But Jesus called them on him and said suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not For such is the kingdom of God Verily I say to you whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter their own Look at Matthew 19 flip back just a few books toward the left Matthew 19 13 Matthew 19 now you use an illustration you have received the the king of God is a little child in order to be saved Which is true. What's what's what's the mentality of a little child humility? They rely on mom and dad they rely on their mother and father For everything for food to clean them to change their clothing. Okay, and that's with salvation. It's all Jesus You've got to have that humble mentality You have to humble yourself to be like it's a little child we say but here we're not talking about these little kids being saved They're tiny little kid and all he did he didn't bring him the gospel All he did was put his hands on them and bless them and that's what it says What we're about to read Matthew 19 13 Then were there brought unto him little children that he should put his hands on them and pray and the disciples rebuked them But Jesus said suffer little children and forbid them not come unto me for such as the kingdom of heaven And he laid his hands on them and departed them. So he didn't preach to them I mean, they're obviously too young to be saved these infants, but he did, you know lay his hands on them He did bless them. He did talk to them He did speak with his mouth to them and black even the blessing out of his mouth and you know He went on his way. You say what are you talking about? Turn to Matthew 18? Just one one chapter back What are you trying to say pastor? What is the point of this? What are you talking about? let me tell you something we ought to receive and Not feel that it's a burden to have infants and little children in the house of God, right? Now let me tell you something there's a tendency for people to reject the interests Don't tell me there's not because we just read in the Bible three different places Matthew Mark and Luke where the disciples said we don't want these little kids around the disciples said we don't want these babies around We don't need infants around and Jesus called them then say wait a minute. Wait a minute. Come back. I Want to hear you need to be here. Hey get that kid and let Jesus touch him. Let Jesus talk to that kid Let Jesus speak to that child. You see no Miriam is not going to be saved today She's too young to understand but you know what the seeds have already been planted in the mind of the Word of God and salvation It doesn't mean that it doesn't matter whether she hears the Word of God or not Just because she's too young to be saved doesn't mean it doesn't matter that God blesses her That Jesus blesses her that Jesus touches her. Hey, it means something or else Jesus wouldn't have done it And so don't tell me that the infants and children are too young to profit from God's Word and And being in contact with Jesus Think about this now and look at Matthew 18 why you do at the same time came to the disciples unto Jesus saying who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven and Jesus called a little child unto him and said now how do you call a little child unto them? Because there was a little child there listening to him preach. Are you listening? Did you get on the phone and call a little child unto him? No, he said come here kid and he set them in the midst Now what was a young child? What was a little child in the next chapter of Matthew 19? An infant according to the Bible Just to compare spiritual to spiritual here in the same breath He's talking about an infant and a young child little child Suffer a little something to come up. He's referring to infants and here he takes a little job You say well, how do you know it was an infant because he said it in the midst? Now I'm not gonna pick up, you know, Brett and send him somewhere I'm not even pick up Solomon and send him somewhere because he can what walk You pick up and carry little kids. Maybe they're toddlers or infants, right? It says he took a little child. Jesus called a little child unto him and sent him in the midst of it and He said barely I say unto you except ye be converted and become as little children Ye shall not enter into the kingdom. He's pointing at this little infant that has to be picked up and carry Spoon fair, diaper, chain. He said that's what salvation is. I do all the work That's what salvation is relying on me. That's what salvation is humbling yourself And relying on Jesus Christ to get you to heaven. He said that's how you have to be But how is that child there because the child was there and there and preached? Because he said suffer the little children forbid them not to come unto me Now, let me ask you something if Jesus was preaching to little children and infants and young children Why am I too good to preach to a baby or a little child or an infant? Am I above Jesus Christ? That oh no not in my service. Oh, no that might upset my concentration Hey, if it was good enough for Jesus It's good enough for me and children and infants of all ages will always be welcome in the services of faith board Baptist Church Maybe if Jesus could preach to them all preached to if the disciples got rebuked for taking them out of the the preaching service Then I'm not going to take them out of preaching service I'll just take their rebuke and apply it to myself and say let's allow the children to get the blessing from God in this service Said you know simply converted become a little children He shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child Remember, that's what I was saying. That's what the illustration meant Humility relying on Jesus the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven But look at verse 5 and whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receive me Oh Excuse me little children are not welcome in service All right. Bye Jesus See you later. Jesus. You're not welcome. Isn't that what he just said? You receive a little child you receive me. Oh Sorry, a two-year-old you're not welcome in this service. All right. Bye Jesus go to the nursery Jesus Go they got a plano grab for you there, buddy. See you later I Put you in the swing and turn it on and strap you in and you'll get your sea leg by the time you're you know Three years old you'll be you'll become a great sailor someday because you swayed and swung in the swing all day Instead of being helped by somebody listening to the Bible be preached But who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me It were better for him than a millstone were hanged about his neck and then he would round in the depth of the sea Look at verse number 10 take heed that you despise not one of these little ones and See by the way, the little ones which believe in him was not the same as the infants Okay, just to clarify for you He said of these little ones which believe in me as a different group First I pretend take heed that you despise not one of these little ones for I say unto you that in heaven Their angels do always behold the face of my father, which is in heaven Now, what does that mean? He's saying you have to be careful how you treat kids You know get away from me brat, you know Get away. Sorry bother me, you know We're too busy for kids here, you know, we got a special little place for you guys Just get out of here and and we'll put somebody who joined the church last week You know in charge of watching you so we can do the really important work right here No, that's not right. I mean he's saying here look Their angels do always behold the face of my father which is in heaven God, what's that time? What angels, you know? The you say oh you believe in guardian angels It's what the Bible says because I mean the Bible teaches guardian angels in maybe doesn't call model is worth but in Hebrews chapter 1 Are they not? He said are they not spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation to minister to tell Jesus was ministered to by angels when he's in the wilderness Okay, then, you know, I believe that angels are a real thing And obviously that angels are sent to protect us for whatever reason it's you know It's a Bible fact the Bible truth and God's saying that you know, their angels do always behold the face of my father Smith He's saying he's going to get the report, you know about the way that you try And so you better be careful not to offend a little child not to be a stumbling block And by the way, when my children watch you commit sin, that's a stumbling block You better you better be careful how you act in the way you live around my kids or anybody else's kids Because you're causing them to stumble you're fending them And when you throw them out of church, I'd say that's a pending them Many kids many churches you can't even be in the service until you're 12 or 13 years old because they have junior church Say what's the difference between junior church because it's not church because it's not the assembly with all of God's people What's wrong with junior church because it's dumbed down Stop by a woman at the time and then you wonder why kids grow up and then they go to a church pastor by one Well, you're the one who stuck them in some woman church till they were 13 years old You're the one that put them in a class when they were eight and nine taught by a woman They came and they didn't sing the solid rock. They didn't sing blessed assurance They don't think to God be the glory in these junior churches. They don't think Jesus saves There is a fountain Jesus paid it all Somewhere in outer space God has prepared a place and then you wonder why they go You wonder why they go up and go to this while holy roller church You know, I'm not saying that I'm not saying that all those songs are bad But many of them are somewhere in outer space God has prepared a place for those who trust him and obey Is that true? God's preparing a place in heaven for those who obey Trust him and obey I thought it was his belief, you know what I mean? But he's you know, that sounds that sounds like it's sending a pretty mixed message there Say you say that the song is wrong. I mean right now right up right down right happy all the time First of all, I'm not happy all the time Jesus wasn't happy all the time And not only that but that song just doesn't sound like it's real deep I just think I think that you say what about deep in life? I did not know what the song deep in life then until I was 24 years old I sung that song Deep and wide deep and wide there's a fountain flowing deep in life. I did not know what that meant. I was 24 When I was 24 somebody said it's about the blood of Jesus whoa I'm not kidding. I mean I was shocked I'm sorry, but I'll take the hymns with the doctrine and But it's gotta be fine for the kids life isn't always fun Church is not supposed to be fun. That's why you come to Faithful Word Sit down and shut up and just get through it Teach it to your one-year-old It's true though. Life's not about just happy all the time fun fun fun Well, let's go to a church that's fun when we grow up right let's go to a church Where you know there's a rock climbing wall in the auditorium, and we can we can climb the wall while we listen to the service You know let's go to church where you get baptized in a bikini It'll be fun This is church in Fort Worth, Texas where they baptize them in bikinis and it's on their website You know that'll get traffic to your website from a bunch of people who are trying to look at porno I mean good night, but this is what America is turning to don't tell you say all that you're being ridiculous Those kids aren't going to grow up and do that then why we're independent fundamental Baptist churches all over America in the 60s Running thousands and thousands of people where did all those people's kids go? They've been absorbed into the new evangelical movement into the charismatic movement because they want to go somewhere Where a woman is going to preach to him, and it's going to be fun or a guy He's just a city such a sissy that you know it might as well be a woman because he acts like a woman He's he's a feminine There's nothing wrong with a woman acting like a woman Women should be feminine, but when a guy acts like a woman that just makes me sick Yeah, and we got a bunch of well You know and God never did women behind the pulpit or womanly men behind the pulpit But they grow up, and they go to some cystified queer little church where it's Where it's devoid of doctrine like junior churches devoid of doctrine So I'm trying to tell you that these kids are growing up because if you train up the time the way you should go But he's old and not depart from it And if you train up your little infant child you say oh the kid these babies are too young to understand what you're preaching You know what you'd be shocked how much they do understand number one I've had my very small children come up to me and say things that show that they comprehend But not only that number two. They're learning. What church is like. It's hymns It's preaching the preacher Yells the preacher is a man the preacher is preaching hard. They're being programmed They're learning. This is what church is like. Thank you for bringing that infant back in the service right now. I'm preaching getting it I Wasn't that so terrible that just ruined the whole service. Thank you for ruining the try to see see here's the thing I was trying to get everybody in a trance right now So that they would all come down the aisle Everyone close your eyes bow your head Feel it stand your feet come to the aisle make your way to the front get on your knees at my feet And you ruined the whole trance You say oh, well people need to get how are they gonna get saved if a baby cries in the service? How do they get saved our soul winning when dogs are barking rap music is blasting from the movie across the street? Little kids are crying kids are screaming Food is burning on the stove Oh Some trance that they're in where you hypnotize them oh You're getting very sleepy When the music begins to play The moment that her finger touches the very first note of the piano when you hear that moment jump to your feet Come down the aisle the choir is singing come now come before it's too late come to be saved Where is any of that invite with its emotionalism I'm all for so winning and compelling people to be safe But you know what it's done one-on-one most of time in the by most of time the Bible You know it's Jesus with the woman at the well and so forth You Know most of the time it was two by two being sent out from house to house That's what I saw in the Bible Towns and villages preaching the gospel came in a little town little village to whoever would listen whatever house would listen But we think they have to be entranced And it is and that's what it's like you know I learned some Bible covers They said the invitation is what the whole service is about They said the invitation begins in the parking lot Greet them and bring them in and this is what they say they said the whole service is geared toward getting them to obey your commands Because they said that's what they said why do you think we have people stand up to say sit down stand up sit down It's to get them used to responding to what you say. This is what I was talking about They said you say stand up sit down come down the aisle Kneel it at our at the steps. It's just another command They will made like 15 commands before you get the invitation turn in your songbook Stand your feet So they're just getting used to responding that yeah, that's going to be insane. That's the power of God Okay, but we wouldn't but see the protestants have come this off on us And we think that that's what church is about churches not to get people say our church is for the edification Of the body of Christ church is for the education of the Saints church is not people criticize my preaching Oh, you didn't preach the gospel That's because I'm preaching to a room full of people that are saying They need to hear other things in the Bible They need to grow and learn and be taught and fed more than just say salvation salvation salvation salvation Hello, they're already saved. I'm pretty sure that every single person in this room is safe right now as far as I know and if somebody in here is not safe, then you know what it's not because they haven't heard the gospel and So and by the way, I want to preach to the whole group here not just the one person that might be here and not be safe and So yes, I can see how if you're trying to get people in a trance so that they can get saved When they hear that baby cry they're nothing on the way No, I'm not ready Where am I oh no, I'm not I was just hypnotized there for a minute. I was just doing whatever the pastor said And so look guess what don't get the people the gospel after the service and if kids are out I take my kids out solely with me. Oh but the distraction I One time brother Dave gave the gospel this guy the rap music was so loud. I could not even follow what he was saying. I Mean I just heard And brother Dave Yeah, and the guy somehow can understand me and eventually the music was turned off and he was safe I mean brother Dave started kind of rapid. I Mean the music was so loud. He couldn't help but start to pull with it He started rhyming a little Look there's distractions out in the world my friend You with it But look at a I'll close with this not I'm running out of time, but illustration. Look at that separate seven Give them a few things Heaven and hell is in the balance here. We can't have a baby disrupting the service Heaven and hell is not balanced right now while I'm preaching heaven and hell is in the balance out on solving outdoor door that's where it's in balance and You know what the children in here happen to be very important to me in fact, I think they might even be more important than you are These are the leaders of tomorrow, these are the preachers and so on as of tomorrow I want to start training them when they're born. I wanted to hear the preaching the day they're born John the back is linked in his mother's womb But you're telling me that the preaching and God's Word has no impact on an infant How did John the Baptist because he recognized the the presence of Jesus Christ in proximity in the womb of Mary? Somehow he recognized that and leaked in his mother's womb You know what my kids They know the sound of my preaching when they're born because they've been in the womb listening I mean I my kids start hearing this kind of preaching while they're in their mother's womb You think they're gonna grow up and listen to Joyce Meyer because they're not but look at this act 720 in which time Moses was born was exceeding a bear and Nourished up in his father's house three months and when he was passed out Pharaoh's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son and Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and needs and When he was full 40 years old it came into his heart to visit his brother and the children of Israel So here's a baby boy. He's three months old taken from his father's house put in a little arc of bull rushes sent down the Nile River and who followed after to make sure that you view him his sister Miriam and His sister Miriam followed to see what would become of the child Pharaoh's daughter herself was bathing herself in the river with her maidens She sees this basket and she hears the crime She goes over to the basket. She opens up the basket and the baby wet She looked down on that child and she had compassion on him. She noticed right away. This is one of the Hebrews children She said next is chapter number two. This is one of the Hebrews children Picked it up. She loved him. She had passion on him. She wanted him to be her adopted son Miriam steps in at this point and Says shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for 40 and she says great idea You know, she hasn't had a child. She can't nurse the babies She doesn't have any milk and so she hands the baby to Miriam and said take this to one of the Hebrew women to nurse this child and I would give thee thy wages and So guess who raised that child until he was weaned from his mother's breast His own mother his spiritual god-fearing righteous parents who by faith By faith Moses when he was born was hit three months of his parents Because they saw he was a proper child and they were not afraid listen these words and they were not Afraid of the king's commandment. Did you hear that? Godly righteous people they raised him for how long how long is a child nursing? Till they're about two years old here, you know when they when they're you know, three years old They're not still nursing Somebody told me one time in school in Christian school. They said oh, yeah, the Hebrews are nursing until they were six or seven I Mean, you know when they grow a whole mouthful of sharp teeth and start eating, you know a cheeseburger, you know They're done nurse And so obviously children only nurse till they're right up to about the time they turn to You know usually women nurse children Maybe they stop at one year old would be like the earliest that they usually stop about one Maybe then more like to use it. Am I right? One two is probably good range not three not four not seven weirdo But the point that I'm trying to make is that that that child was only his parents house till he was two years old and And Yet by faith Moses when he was come to years 40 years old Refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the trenches in Egypt for he had respect under the recompense of the reward by faith Moses it says by faith he forsook Egypt not fearing the wrath of the king For he endured as seeing him was visible now That's not familiar by faith Moses when he was born was hit three months of his pair Because they saw it was a proper child They were not afraid of the king's commandment and then by faith he forsook Egypt few verses down Not fearing the wrath of the king for he endured as seeing him was invisible Where did he get that attribute of not fearing the king's commandment? Always obey the king. Obey Obama. You think that his parents were a bunch of Obama Democrats God ordained Obama obey Obama that almost sounds like a good slogan. This is the slogan of independent photo webs obey Obama they should make it into a bumper sticker Obey Obama Obama can drop dead and go to hell as far as I'm concerned the baby butchering filthy murderous pervert that he is Destroying America every day. He's only been in office for what five days. He's already Funding abortions all over the world You have a newspaper he fund abortions all over the world this week He's already wants to spend a bunch of money. He already wants to sell my children in the dead into slavery Obey Obama I Thank God that you know most of parents didn't obey Obama And you know what Moses when he was coming years have the exact same attribute because when you train up a child in the way He should go when he's old. He'll not depart from and he'll fear God rather than fearing man I mean ideally fear both right obey obey authority, but you know what here God nuts Demand when they're a wicked Ungodly man who's going against God you say oh, but every show Romans Let every soul be subject under the higher powers Let me just I know this is going to shock you, but America's not a monarchy. Did you know that? I know you're showing me all these verses about obeying the king and fearing the king. We don't have a king. Did you know that? I'm sorry, but you you must not have been around there was this thing in 1776 called the Decoration of Independence Where they separate themselves from King George the third right and we did not have King George w and King Barack We don't we haven't had kings in this country over 200 years And so guess what that you're gonna believe it the highest power in America is the constitution That's right of the United States And guess what else the ice car the people because we have a government of the people by the people for the people And when that government ceases to serve our ends of promoting good life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness the Declaration of Independence Which also forms our founding documents the laws of our land the declaration of independence of the Constitution it said that it is the right of the people to to Alter or abolish it. It's their right and their duty to alter it or abolish it That's the Decoration of Independence and so the highest power in this land is the people because we live in a free country Now look I agree if we're living in some kind of a monarchy where we have a king over us Then we must obey that King But if we have somebody who we elected to follow the Constitution who swore an oath or tried to Execute babies, I mean execute the office of President of the United States I Think you would have memorized it. It's like 10 seconds on Excuse me, what's the oath again, and then he swore it a second time not on the Bible? Yeah, where was the Holy Bible when you said it right Obama because when you get the Bible back You know what that probably was messing him up the biker threat. Yeah. He got in the presence of God's Word It's like when that stupid Idol fell on its face, you know in 1st Samuel they got and only the stump was left Because as soon as you put God and his word and by the way, you know, it was in the Ark of Covenant God's Word Guess what was in it? Aaron's rod that flooded and the tables of the Covenant written with the finger of God God's Word and the book of the law and Aaron's rod that flooded were in that art They said that our kids today got he fell on his face before God And when Obama dude you put God in front of him the Word of God he puts his hand on it We wish he would have fell on his face and we don't have a stump of Obama But but you know what? He got all choked up. He said Can we try it without the Bible this time? And he tried it without the Bible It's all they swear Yeah, the president swears an oath to the Constitution that's the law Hey, did you know that if there's any law in America that conflicts Constitution the Constitution? Supercede. Yeah, because let every soul be separate the highest car gets to the highest car is gone. Guess who's next the u.s Constitution not King Obama and as soon as our leaders are out of bounds of the Constitution. We got to go with the Constitution Buried I don't believe that I don't care what you think that's where that's what the Bible says And so let's close the sermon but the point is that children are inherited to the Lord Fruit of the womb is his reward. I want to train my children up to be righteous and godly I want to be in church in the womb as a newborn as a child They're probably the most important people in this service right now are all the little children Thank God, I look out to see all the little children. Praise the Lord. Praise God for And you know what? Let's go out and win children Christ, you know I'm not saying to go around and sneak into people's houses and and you know Talk to some kid who shouldn't even be answering the door and stuff That's not what I'm saying But I'm saying get the permission from the parents and get those kids to gospel Win them to Christ get them second don't miss that. I bet you're missing some opportunities out solely By not taking time to win those kids to the Lord You got to take that chance to take that opportunity to what to win them to Christ and then and then you know Let's have them in the service. Let's preach to them. Let's teach them the hymns. It's not dumb them down And now let's go right forward prayer Father we love you and thank you for our church. We thank you for a church where children are welcome in the service Where we don't see children as a burden or distraction We don't see him as a nuisance, but your God we see them as the future We see them as important people. We want Jesus to touch them. We want him to bless them We want to set them in the midst of us in the middle of the service where they can hear God's Word preached God we want to receive you we want to receive children and we want to preach to children the gospel of Jesus Christ Please help us to have a proper respect and understanding of children And we love you in Jesus name we pray. Amen All right
