For Such is the Kingdom of Heaven

For the past several years, the media, public education, and certain secular organizations have slowly and methodically indoctrinated the world into a certain belief system that is absolutely opposite of what God's Word teaches. These have crept into the teachings of the Christian community, and we have accepted and finally embraced them as if the Lord Jesus Himself gave them to us. We must never forget that the father of lies is the prince of this world. His program propagates killing and destroying, and so he would certainly not encourage childbirth, as taught by Jesus in John 10:10, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

Jesus teaches more about children in Luke 18:15-17, "They also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to Him and said, 'Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.'"

When we observe a little child displaying faith in the smallest way, we are attracted to it. We think it is cute and sweet when a little one announces that it will not rain today because he asked God for sunshine. Isn't it amazing to you that the Lord desires our faith to be like that of a child?

It does not matter what the subject is, the Lord wants His children to trust Him. This is not and will never be taught in the secular arena. If you have been exposed to the way of thinking that is contrary to God's way, then "be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2)

Do not succomb to believe whatever your neighbor or co-worker believes. Believe in the Lord. His ways are true and right, and you will never be disappointed because He is faithful.

Love, Karen
