CHILDREN WHO MAKE THE WORD OF GOD THEIR GUIDE FOR LIFE.

Most people today are unconsciously guided by the deceptive humanistic philosophy of this world. It shapes our society and even shapes our lives without our realizing it. This is why the homeschooling revival is part of God’s plan. When children are taken out of the public school system, which is ingrained in humanism, and instead trained and taught, in the pure truth of the Word of God, we will begin to see change. God wants an army coming forth that is not only ready for battle, but that is free from the contaminations and deceptions of society, an army that is entrenched and ingrained in the principles of God’s way for life and for warfare. Memorizing the Word of God for ourselves and teaching our children to memorize the Word of God is a wonderful way to make the Word of God part of their lives.

Read Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 19:7-11; Psalm 119; Matthew 4:4; Colossians 3:16a; 2 Timothy 2:15; James 1:22-25.

CHILDREN WHO HONOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS.

There is no use serving the Lord on our own efforts. The foundation of our service must be the fact that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood for us. Without the blood of Jesus, we cannot be saved. Without the blood of Jesus we cannot have cleansing for our sins. Without the blood of Jesus we can’t have forgiveness. Although we receive forgiveness for sins when we first come to the Lord, we still need His forgiveness on a daily basis.

In all our serving of the Lord we must acknowledge the blood of Jesus. We must teach our children the worth of the blood of Jesus. Many of the worship songs we sing today are wonderful but they don’t speak about the blood of Jesus. Sing the great hymns about the blood of Jesus together as a family. The last few days before my dear mother passed into glory, she asked the friends around her bedside to sing the hymns about the blood of Jesus. The truth of the blood of Jesus was her salvation through life and her comfort as she passed into the next life. Some of her favorites on this subject were: ‘What Can Wash Away my Sin’, ‘Have you Been to Jesus for the Cleansing power?’, and ‘There is a fountain filled with blood.’

Revelation 12:11 is such a powerful scripture, one that we should memorize and teach our children. "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death."
