How to "Feed My Lambs"

'If there is any doctrine too difficult for a child, it
is the fault of the teacher's understanding of it rather
than of the child's power to receive it, provided that
the child is really converted to God. It is ours to make
doctrine simple; this is to be a main part of our work.
Teach the little ones the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, for instruction is the great need of the
child's nature.

A child not only has to live as you and I have, but
also to grow. Hence he has double need of food. When
fathers say of their boys, "What appetites they have!"
they should remember that we also would have great
appetites if we had only to keep the machinery
going, but to enlarge it at the same time. Children in
grace have to grow, rising to greater capacity in know-
ing, being, doing, and feeling - and to greater power
from God.

Thus, above all, children must be fed. They must
be well fed, or instructed, because they are in danger
of having their cravings perversly satisfied with
error. Youth is susecptible to evil doctrine. Whether
we teach young Christians truth or not, the devil
will be sure to teach them error. They will hear of it
somehow, even if they are watched by the most care-
ful guardians. The only way to keep chaff out of the
child's cup is to fill it to the brim with good wheat. Oh,
that the Spirit of God may help us do this! The more
the young are taught, the better; it will keep them
from being misled.

We are especially exhorted to feed them because
they are so likely to be overlooked. I am afraid our
sermons often go over the heads of the younger folk -
who, nevertheless, may be as true Christians as the
older ones. Blessed is he who can speak so as to be
understood as a child! Blessed is that godly woman
who so adapts herself to girlish modes of thought
in her class that the truth from her heart steams
into the children's hearts without obstruction or hin-
drance'.

Saints - ESPECIALLY if you have the reponsibility of another - such as a wife or children - PLEASE Watch your LIFE & DOCTRINE CLOSELY!!!

With a world that is constantly lying to our children that Same Sex Marriages are ok... Feminist Movement is ok... Homosexuality is ok... Pornography is ok... Adultery is no big deal...
Divorce is ok... Defacto Relationships are ok...

These topics are what our precious 'Little Lambs' are being taught. This is what they are being faced with... Who is going to stand up and say. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! THIS IS NOT TRUTH! - But - let me show you the gospel & how you are suppose to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ! Watch my life - let me show you godliness - watch the way I treat my wife, my children, my parents, my in-laws, my collegues, my relatives, my church family, my neighbors... Look over my shoulder and ask me questions... I invite you to watch my life.

Imagine walking with Jesus. WOW! -

Friends - dear friends... It is the truth of Jesus Christ that sets people free. Jesus sets the captives free. -

God Almighty wants the little ones to come unto Him, and we are not to hinder them... We are not to place restrictions, conditions, or limits... We are to tell the little children to come unto Him... We are to teach and model truth to these 'Little Lambs'.

Are you helping or hindering - not just by what you say - but how you live?

Be Faithful to Him!

because...

His Wrath is Satisfied!
