Awesome Faith of a Little Boy

A good homeschooling mom makes use of car rides by employeeing math songs, books on CD, or even well-timed sermons.

Today I used the drive time to catechize the kids. If you are Southern Baptist, like 85% of the people that we know, then you don’t know what that means. It isn’t a strange ritual involving felines. Rest assured. We only use dogs in our religious ceremonies, as they are tastier and more acceptable to the Lord.

If you aren’t acquainted with sarcasm, that was a little taste of it for ya. We don’t actually harm animals in our worship. Squirmy little kids may get a pinch or two, though.

Catechism is just asking children a series of questions and teaching them the answers. It’s used to teach basic spiritual concepts, such as who God is. I was asking the children question #7 of The Children’s Catechism (which we’ve had to edit in a few places to appropriately reflect our beliefs), which is “What are the three persons of God?” I explained about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We got to the point of me telling them that God sends the Holy Spirit to help us at the same time that He changes our hearts and gives us new ones.

At that point I was pretty intellectually exhausted at having to explain the trinity to preschoolers. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw my five-year old bow his head and cover it with his hands. When he looked up he was smiling.

I asked him, “What did you just do?”

He said, “I just asked God to give me a new heart.”

“Well, what did He say?” I asked him.

“He said ‘Yes’.  And He has my old one.”

The beautifully funny faith of a little child. Praise the Lord for His work in our home and the journey He started us on so many years ago that allowed me to witness a moment of His work in my child.

Sunday School Part 2

If you read my post about Sunday school, you probably thought that I don't send my kids to SS...right? I tend to write (or speak, if I'm with someone that I know well) in a very black & white, idealistic way, and I have a hard time bringing ideals down to real life and vice versa.

We actually do send our kids to Sunday school. Can you believe it? There I go, revealing our horrid secrets to everyone.  For me, the ideal is to attend an age-integrated church that focuses on discipling mom and dad so that they can better disciple their children. But then the ideal meets reality and it doesn't always work out that way. There are no family-integrated churches in our area, and its highly unlikely that we will ever attend one. We could always move to Texas and go to Voddie Bauchum's church!

The church we attend is one my husband grew up in and God has not called us to leave. So, we send the kids to Sunday school with the very cynical notion that they are there for basic childcare. Unlike most moms, I don't really care if they learn about Jesus, specifically the youngest children. I just want the workers to not hurt my children, to come and get me if my kid is causing problems or crying too much. I don't have very high standards, do I?

I know it seems weird, but its MY job to disciple my kids, so I don't really expect anybody else to do it.  What they get at church is just gravy. And gravy without meat is just plain gross.

Is Sunday School Bad for Kids?

The best way to insure our kids grow up to love the Lord is to get them to the church everytime its open, right? I don't think so. Especially if that means that once the family enters the church, they all go their seperate ways, each to his own age-segregated classroom, never learning together or ministering together.

Ken Ham, a well-known creationist and founder of Answers in Gensis, has co-written a new book,"Already Gone: Why your kids will quit church and what you can do about it", that explores why so many young people are leaving the church. One of his findings, after commissioning an in depth study, was as follows:

 

The survey found, much to Ham's surprise, a "Sunday School syndrome," indicating children who faithfully attend Bible classes in their church over the years actually are more likely to question the authority of Scripture.

"This is a brutal wake-up call for the church, showing how our programs and our approaches to Christian education are failing dismally," Ham writes in the book.

As a young adult, I remember being very upset when I read Genesis 7 for myself and found that Noah actually took 7 of the clean animals and only 2 of the unclean. I just remember feeling jipped, as if every Sunday School lesson and BIble storybook I'd every read was a big lie. The way the Sunday school lessons are taught, focusing on the big "characters" and "morality" instead of hard-hitting doctrine and apologetics is one reason why church kids usually leave church.

Honestly, I've been much more in favor of the age-integrated system of worship for a long time, and this article by World Net Daily just confirms the wisdom in keeping our children with us in church, rather than shirking their bible-teaching onto someone else. Here's the whole article:  Why Are Young People Leaving the Church

I do tend to have a fairly negative view of Sunday School. In the younger years especially, I see it as glorified daycare system so that parents can enjoy their 'break' from the kids. While the older kids do get more learning, the negative peer influence is enough to undo years of parenting in one hour.  Obviously, every church is different and every family has to decide its own way, but I think we do need to be aware that sometimes church and Sunday School can do more harm than good.

Perhaps, I'll post a history of the Sunday School movement later.

More News You Don't Hear About

A California pastor is told he can't hold Bible studies in his house until he gets a permit from the city.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=98895

Does this sound like persecution, anyone? Folks have said it is coming for years. Well, its here.  The article also stated the importance of home fellowship.

On a personal note, Broyles added, "I've been leading Bible studies in my home for 13 years in San Diego County, and I personally believe that home fellowship Bible studies are the past and future of the church. … If you look at China, the church grew from home Bible studies. I'm deeply concerned that if in the U.S. we are not able to meet in our homes and freely practice our religion, then we may be worse off than China."

Broyles also explained to WND that oppressive governments, such as communist China or Nazi Germany, worked to repress home fellowships, labeling them the "underground church" or "subversive groups," legally compelling Christians to meet only in sanctioned, government-controlled "official" churches.

I do believe our government, our nation, is headed toward this sort of regulation against Christianity. It started small, with the control over the public schools, and through the indoctrination of  two generations of children, our country is ripe for a take over of atheistic, socialistic, Marxist mentality.

Muslim Demographics

From Youtube:  Islam will overwhelm Christendom unless Christians recognize the demographic realities, begin reproducing again, and share the gospel with Muslims.

"As the population shrinks, so does the culture."  A birth rate of 2.11 children per couple is required to sustain a culture. Europe's birthrate is 1.38, at that rate it is impossible for their culture to sustain itself. But Europe's population has been growing, 90% of the growth from 1990 has been due to Islam Immigration. The United States birthrate is 2.11, but only because of the Latino immigration. The Catholic church has recently reported that Islam has just surpassed its membership numbers.  The German government recently stated " The fall in German population can no longer be stopped. It will be a Muslim nation by 2050."

This isn't about being anti-Muslim or pro-white Christian, but I find it interesting that "educated", "rich", Christians are simply not reproducing. Of course, these same people will go to poor countries and try to educate the people there and hand out birth control. We can see from the BIble's examples of Rachel and Leah that ancient women knew when their bodies were fertile, why do we assume that poor people only reproduce because they can't afford birth control or because they don't "know what causes it?"

There are so many aspects of this that are interesting...I wish I had time to hash it all out. I won't even get into the white-Christian-missionary-movement that caused so many Christian missionaries to limit their children because of church support.

Bottom line, learn to evangelize Muslims and have more babies.

The Narcissism Epidemic

The Today Show had a piece on this morning about the prevailing narcissism of the current generation. You can read the article and watch a video here.  Now an entire generation of young adults, and thirty-somethings are more concerned with themselves and their little space on the internet.

 "The cultural focus on self-admiration began with the shift toward focusing on the individual in the 1970s, documented in Tom Wolf's article on “The Me Decade” in 1976 and Lasch's “The Culture of Narcissism.” In the three decades since, narcissism has grown in ways these authors never could have imagined. The fight for the greater good of the 1960s became looking out for number one by the 1980s. Parenting became more indulgent, celebrity worship grew, and reality TV became a showcase of narcissistic people. The Internet brought useful technology but also the possibility of instant fame and a "Look at me!" mentality. "

Parents and teachers began worrying about children's self-esteem. They gave the children unmerited praise and refused to discipline or correct because the were worried that it might hurt little Johnny's self-esteem. Did it work?

"In fact, narcissism causes almost all of the things that Americans hoped high self-esteem would prevent, including aggression, materialism, lack of caring for others, and shallow values. In trying to build a society that celebrates high self-esteem, self-expression, and "loving yourself," Americans have inadvertently created more narcissists — and a culture that brings out the narcissistic behavior in all of us. This book chronicles American culture's journey from self-admiration, which seemed so good, to the corrosive narcissism that threatens to infect us all."

Why didn't boosting our children's self-esteem work? Because it isn't Biblical. The Bible says that we are made in the image of God (Gen 1:27) and that sets us apart from the animals and gives us worth. Where does our worth come from? From God. Our own works are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) and none of us are righteous without God (Rom 3:10.) We are to be more concerned with the well-being of others than we are for ourselves (Phil 2:3-4) and we are to live to serve, not live to be served.

Do we understand that, without God we are filthy. There is nothing good in us apart from God. We are totally depraved. Anything good in our life is because of God, why are we giving ourselves the praise?

Why did so many Christians fall for it? Because Christians are forgetting the Bible. They look at psychology or science first, and try to fit the Bible in. Christians no longer know how to think rightly (or Biblically.)  This topic is fascinating to me, as I began to understand the depth of how I am not thinking Biblically. Hopefully, for my own benefit, I will be able to put some more thoughts together on the subject. Until then.

Rejoice and Mourn

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.. Romans 12:15

When faced with someone else's suffering, we sometimes want to make a joke or lighten the mood.  This,  really, is such a selfish and unbiblical way to treat someone who is mourning. When we do this, it is for our own comfort, because watching someone mourn is painful and it reminds us of our own humanness. It reminds us that life on Earth, even while serving a great and mighty God, is filled with heartache. I think that makes us Christians a bit nervous.

The Bible tells us to mourn with those who mourn and rejoice with those who rejoice. I have had much pleasure in rejoicing with my loved ones who were rejoicing. And I now have much sorrow to mourn with them as they mourn.

Growing Up in Church is Harmful to Your Health

I beginning to think that growing up in church is harmful to your health. All around me, the passionate believers that I see are people who experienced radical conversion as adults. They are not the people that "gave their life to Christ" at age five and continued on in a mediocre manner at church until adulthood.

For those people, especially if they "do" church as teenagers, God is just a cultural thing. Its hard to know wether there ever was a conversion or not.

I'm also beginning to think that salvation is much more mysterious and miraculous than I previously thought. The Southern Baptist idea that all we do is "say a prayer" and we'll be saved waters down the heart-changing, God-working, Spirit-moving experience that is true salvation.

My kids are growing up in church. I don't know how I feel about this. I don't have a lot of faith in the typical American church, and I'd honestly rather not be a part of it at all. What happened to a group of believers that are passionate about Christ who lived, worked, and learned together all week, not just on Sunday? We need to change our view of what church is, because most of us go to a place on Sunday that does not resemble a New Testament Church at all.

For my kids, I want a radical conversion. But, as a mother, I don't want them to have to participate in all manner of evil things in order to understand that Jesus is the way to salvation. I just don't want them sucked into the general church culture and the mediocre, Jesus-t-shirt mindset. The Lord has a plan, and I don't know what it is.

Hard Times Coming

This article is so good, and I want every one of my blog visitors to read it. I would copy and paste the article, but that is against copyright laws. So, please click on this link and read what Michael Pearl has to say about what is facing America and Christians.

Here's a little snippet:

For believers, there are bad times and then there are BAD times. A recession is not a bad time; it is an inconvenience. 

 

Recession? Probably. We’ll get through it. DEPRESSION? Could be. But it will be good for the character of the church. Or Worse? Yes, something worse is coming.

   A truly BAD time for us believers is when the state becomes hostile toward the Christian family and denies us the liberties to rear our children in a godly manner. That’s a BAD time. A BAD time is when the Department of Education forcibly assumes the role of overseeing the curriculum of homeschoolers, policing what parents teach their children in private. A BAD time is when the church is policed as to what it can say, the Thought Police arresting preachers for declaring the whole counsel of God regarding sin and righteousness. In Europe, preachers have been arrested for preaching that sodomy is a depravity contrary to nature. A BAD time is when ministers are silenced on pain of arrest for the crime of causing mental harm and guilt to children. A BAD time is when the State forbids parents from teaching their children the Word of God and encourages children to tattle on their parents as they did under the Communist rule during the fifties and sixties.

Go read the rest of the article.

Read the article, and consider that The UN's Treaty on the Rights of the Child has been ratified by all UN countries except for Somalia and the United States. Also be aware that our president-elect Barack Obama has stated here that  "It is embarrassing to find ourselves in the company of Somalia, a lawless land." If Obama sends this treaty to congress to be ratifed and it is, parents will have no rights in regard to their children. I do believe, like Michael Pearl said in the first article, that we are going to see some horrible things, reminiscent of Nazi Germany, happen in the next 10 to 20 years.

We need to prepare our families for times like this. We need to prepare our children.

Halloween Help for Moms

This is repost requested by a friend. It was originally posted last year.

----------------------------------------------------------- 

This is long, so please be patient and read on.  There are many links at the bottom that will be helpful to you.

            Being a mother is an incredibly thought-provoking experience, full of many decisions each day.  These decisions need to be made thoughtfully and prayerfully.  I believe apathy and ignorance are rampant in the church. Because of this, most Christian mothers make decisions based on what their church-friends are doing, rather than based on the Word of God. No two Christian families are going to be just alike and make exactly the same decisions.  So please don't read what I have written as a judgement on those that make different INFORMED decisions than we do.  I do believe it is possible for two families to pray and research an issue and come to two different conclusions and both be in obedience to God.  However, those of you who are making decisions without becoming informed and seeking God's will need to realize that your lack of action in this area can destroy your families. (Hosea 4:6).   

          Having said that, I'd like to take the time to give other mothers some information about Halloween.  It comes every year, and is a struggle for many Christians.   Our Halloween journey has been a long one.  For the first few years of our son's life we enjoyed the typical Halloween experience of trick or treating.  We then became convicted that we shouldn't participate in Halloween because of its occultic and pagan origins.  However, we did what most Christians do and attended Christianized-Halloween celebrations that were nicknamed "fall festivals".  Some years we let our son dress up, other years we didn't.  Every year it brought about a time of trying to seek God's will and His truth.  Last year we finally allowed God to bring about his will for our family.  We have decided to not celebrate Halloween, in any way. 

                   I tell you our story because I know that this is a hard and stressful issue for parents, one that may take years to fully develop.  I don't know where you are in your journey. I don't know what the Lord or your husband is leading you to do.  All I want to do is to give you some information that will help you in making an informed decision.  Please beware that some of these sites are NOT Christian.  I wanted you to get a real picture of what people who follow Satan believe about this "holiday'.  Please take a moment to pray for protection and guidance as you look at these sites.

Seven Year Tribulation

One of the blogs that I read has been discussing the possibility that we could be in the seven year tribulation. This is based on a seven year peace treaty signed by Israel in January 2007. Read the following articles to get more of a foundation. Here and here and here. WIthin those articles, there are lots of links. Check them out for a full understanding.

WIth the economic crisis, the world seems set for the production of a one-world currency. Check out this document by the European Union on its plan to go cashless by 2010 (SEPA) -  They refer to the currency as the "MARK", I am not kidding. Read the document. If you want more information on SEPA, read this and this. The 2010 goal would fall into the timeline set forth in Revelation about the mark coming into play around 3 1/2 years after the signing of the treaty.

Now, do I believe we are in the tribulation? I don't know. But, I am not so foolish as to take these things lightly just because I believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. Anyone who doesn't look into this themselves simply because they have always been taught pre-trib or their denomination believes in pre-trib, etc is foolish. At least look into and keep your eyes open.

Emotional Freedom Technique Decieves the Church

Do not be decieved. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is not Biblical. It was 'founded' by a man named Gary Craig. Here's his bio from his website:

Gary Craig is neither a psychologist nor a licensed therapist. He is an ordained minister through the Universal Church of God in Southern California, which is non-denominational and embraces all religions. He is a dedicated student of A Course in Miracles, and approaches his work with a decidedly spiritual perspective. However, there is no specific spiritual teaching connected to Emotional Freedom Technique or its Practitioners.

Emotional Freedom Technique is a physcotherapeutic alternative medicine tool based on a theory that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body's energy field and that tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion alters the body's energy field, restoring it to "balance." 

Here's a few things from the website Christian Answers for A New Age. Its a great website that debunks so many Christian's views that things are spiritually neutral.

3. Many of the new healing techniques are being called energy medicine since there is an assumption that one is dealing with channeling, transferring or altering energy. This energy is not measurable or biological; it is believed to be the energy of a universal force/life force pervading all. The belief in this type of energy is foundational for sorcery, pantheism, monism, some Eastern religions, many New Age-related beliefs, and most of the occult. Sometimes this energy is seen as being an impersonal God, a god-force, or an innate divine intelligence which infuses all parts of the universe and our bodies. These are spiritual, not medical, views.

4. Many techniques such as acupuncture, acupressure, tai chi (not a medicine but often prescribed for people recovering from illness) are based on the belief that a universal force called chi (also spelled as qi, ki or ji) which pervades everything and everyone must be flowing to achieve good health. There is also the belief in two universal energies, yin and yang, which must be balanced. If anything is blocking the chi or unbalancing the yin and yang, then illness results. The chi is believed to flow through invisible channels in the body called meridians. In this case, treatment is based on a spiritual belief system, not on medicine or scientific fact. So far, no medical or biological basis as been discovered for acupuncture. There are theories that the needles trigger the release of endorphins or affect a neural pathway, causing a temporary relief of pain. If indeed this is what is happening, then it is no longer actually acupuncture, since acupuncture is not based on the physiology of neural pathways or endorphins. For a more detailed Christian view of acupuncture, see "Evaluating Acupuncture" by Steve Godwin at http://www.wfial.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=artNewAge.article_10

This is not just another way to heal yourself. It is witchcraft and sorcery. It is using an "energy" that is not GOD to heal yourself. I'll have more later. Please pray as there is much spiritual warfare going on right now.

Children in Church - More from Me

I knew that once I wrote those posts about bringing children to church, I would experience some difficulties as a result of spiritual warfare. I was right. The very next Sunday was the one that hubby was away. I took the easy road and left my 3yo in Sunday school for the church hour. I used the excuse that I was tired. It backfired. One, I felt guily the entire service, and two...

Once I brought him back into service the following Sunday, he had an incredibly hard time. It was like he was on a sugar high and couldn't contain himself. I haven't had to deal with behavior like that from in him in church for months. I had to take him out several times for a talking-to and some discipline.

Anytime we stand up for something that we believe in, we need to expect to be attacked. Some of the time it will be by people, but many times it will be by Satan. The things that we seem to have under control will start unraveling. All it means, is that we must continue to rely on Christ at all times and for all direction. I felt directed to write those posts, so I know that the He can accomplish something good from last SUnday's complete meltdown.

Children in Church - Is it beneficial?

Be sure to check out my first post in this series here.

Recently,  I discussed the argument that children in church are a distraction. Today, I'd like to talk about whether or not children being in church is beneficial for them. Many churches offer children's church in an attempt to teach them about God in a child-friendly manner. They want the church experience to be 'fun' so that the child will associate pleasure with going to church.

There is nothing wrong with having fun, and there is definately nothing wrong with having fun at church.  I do believe that children's church can be beneficial to certain people at certain times. However, I believe that the most beneficial way for a child to learn about Christ and His church is beside his parents, and that the children's church is often a product of the modern entertainment mindset of most churches.

My parents tooks us to church from the very beginning. I loved going to church. I love the people, the smell, the singing, all of it. It felt like home. Church never was an obligation, until I got older. As a child, I recall both attending children's church and staying in big church with my parents. Even though I would sometimes fall asleep, I have fond memories of watching my mom and dad sing together in front of the church, and of watching my mom lift her arms as she sang next to me. I even remember telling God that I would try really hard to keep my eyes closed the entire prayer. It rarely happened, but I was sure proud when it did!

When we refuse to allow children to worship besides their parents, we are robbing them of these early experiences of learning how to worship through watching the adults around them. Children learn mostly by watching and observing. What do they learn, through observation, when we send them away to their own "specialized" worship service.

We teach them that big church is boring, that they need to be entertained and have fun in order to enjoy the word of God.

I believe this can lead to some of the emergent church ideas that are going around right now. Young adults are tired of "their parent's church". They don't know why they are rebelling, but they know they don't want what their parents had. And who should blame them, their parents taught them from an early age that they didn't want them either...by shuffling them off to another room to be taught by another adult.

This has led to a huge growth of young churches filled with nothing but 20 somethings and 30 somethings. The generational gap is getting larger, and our young people are simply not comfortable interacting with people of different ages.  TItus 2 is very clear that the older members of the church are to disciple the younger. A man isn't considered an elder until he has successfully raised a family. Yet many churches have unmarried men, men with no children, and men with young children as elders. I don't believe these men truly fit the description of "elder".

I think this is a big reason that the modern church is failing. When we seperate everyone, there is no teaching and no learning. Older christians refuse to mentor and disciple younger Christians, because they expect the church to offer some program to do it in their place. The younger generation wants to be entertained, they reject the "old paths", and they don't serve and respect their elders.

Is taking children to church benefical to them? No. Its beneficial to the entire church. Doing this one thing can lead to a major change in our modern churches. If you are interested in getting your little ones out of children's church, then stay tuned for another post that has some practical ideas on how to do it...without too much stress.
