BIG IDEA: We’re living in a different world than it was just 20 years ago. And it’s the upcoming generation of those past years that are being targeted by the enemy and being taught a life differing from scripture. We need to teach them what is RIGHT and what is TRUTH.
Scriptures: Psalms 32:8, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, Deuteronomy 6:1-9, Titus 2:1-7, Titus 2:11-15, Proverbs 1:5-7, Psalms 78:1-4, Job 12:12, Hebrews 10:23-25,
2 Corinthians 4:14-16, Psalms 71:18
Our Schools are teaching more than just reading, writing and arithmetic, the agenda has changed to a sickening level where the children are being indoctrinated with ideas of their gender that is against GOD's WORD. GOD created male and female, PERIOD. There is nothing else.
We were created in HIS IMAGE, and we are to be IMAGE BEARERS of the LORD GOD. We were created for HIS Purpose, as HE designed us to be. Any other thinking is False, Untruth and directly from the "father of lies".
The Enemy is targeting our youth, 12 year olds are taught behind closed doors that they can be a different gender than who GOD created them to be, and the children are told, "don't tell your parents." For those who go so far as to surgically change their existence, depression and suicidal thoughts have taken over, as the enemy seeks those to devour and destroy. Satan is targeting this next generation, and we've got to do something, NOW.
WE MUST TAKE A STAND NOW. PROTECT THIS UPCOMING GENERATION. SPEAK TO THEM AND TEACH THEM GOD'S WORD, AND WHO THEY ARE IN CHRIST.
TRAIN UP A CHILD
(Let the Congregation Read Aloud)
Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)
6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
(Let the Congregation Read Aloud)
Psalms 32:8 (NKJV)
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
TEACHING – DELIVERY OF WHAT IS RECEIVED – PASS IT ON!
(Let the Congregation Read Aloud)
1 Corinthians 15:3-5 (ESV)
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
GOD COMMANDS - PASS DOWN YOUR FAITH TO THE NEXT GENERATION
Deuteronomy 6:1-2,4-9 (ESV)
1 “Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the rules—that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, 2 that you may fear the LORD your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be long.
SHEMA – RECITED EVERY MORNING UPON AWAKING, AND EVERY EVENING WHEN GOING TO SLEEP. A REMINDER TO KEEP OUR FOCUS ON THE LORD
4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
LOVE – WITH EVERYTHING – YOUR LIFE
LOVE THE LORD WITH YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON HIM
5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
LET GOD’S WORD BE ON YOUR HEART
6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN DILIGENTLY - CONSTANTLY
7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
BOUND TO GOD’S WORD IN THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS
HAND = WORK; HEAD = THOUGHTS;
8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
WRITE IT DOWN – DISPLAY GOD’S WORD IN AND ON YOUR HOME
9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO BE A GODLY MAN OR WOMAN?
Titus 2:1-7, 11-15 (NLT) PROMOTE RIGHT, WHOLESOME TEACHING - TRUTH
1 As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching.
SELF CONTROL, INTEGRITY, WISE LIVING, SOUND FAITH, LOVE AND PATIENCE
TEACH THE OLDER MEN AND WOMEN
2 Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience.
TEACH LIVING TO HONOR GOD. TEACH WHAT IS GOOD.
3 Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good.
