I am exceedingly blessed and for that I am thankful.
Today I want to praise the Lord for the privilege of ministering to MOMS. Yesterday I spoke to a group of MOMS at First Baptist in Collierville. About 60 MOMS (and 2 sweet daddies) gathered to study God's Word and apply His Truth to parenting. As I taught from the book of Philippians about the Birthmarks of the Believer (grace, peace, joy, harmony, unity, honorable life, gentleness, seeking to live in peace with others, getting along for heaven's sake, and living a life that matters for the kingdom) I was staggered by the rapt attention these moms were giving to the teaching of the Word of God. Committed to study and obey God's Truth, these moms intend to be involved in kingdom work and conformed to the image of Christ. I was blessed. I was thankful. Capture the heart of the mom and you can impact and influence the whole family to the third and fourth generation. I am thankful to know some great moms and be able to invest in teaching them.
I am passionate about teaching MOMS, investing in their lives and helping them take the profound truths of God's Word and make them practical for daily living. I want to see them hand down a living fatih to their children - not religious rules, rituals, or dead works of self-righteousness. I want them to aggressively pursue a life of personal holiness and practical righteousness. There is much at stake. The next generation needs to know about the saving grace of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Who will tell them Jesus saves? Who will show them a life worth living? Who? "Here I am. Lord send me!"
