Check out the unit Bible passage again! It can be found in James 1:22-25 (or you can just check out the previous blog).
Last Sunday we learned the parable of the sower. This can be found in Mark 4:1-20.
So, what does God want us to do? So many things can take over our lives; work, family, even responsibilities at church! God wants us to care first about spending time with Him, NOT JUST READING BUT DOING WHAT IS IN HIS WORD.
The result of being "good soil" is no small thing. IT IS A FRUITFUL LIFE. We often see barren, or empty lives that were lived for wealth or success or something that is ultimately fruitless. This is even harder for us who live here in Fairfield County. My heart goes out to the many people I see every day, who HAVE EVERYTHING, but their faces show the misery of their lives. God so much wants to give us abundant lives.
Preteens are in the process of becoming independent. They can read, understand and do what the Bible says on their own. Share with your preteens how important God's Word is to you. This will develop an attitude of openness toward God's Word. Valuing God's Word leads to a life of integrity.
FAITH IS NOT THE SAME AS BELIEVING. FAITH IS ACTING UPON GOD'S WORD!
