Obedience 2

Just googled the same song... turns out there's a verse I didn't know....

We want to live pure, we want to live clean.
We want to do our best.
Sweetly submitting to authority, leaving to God the rest.
Walking in the light, keep our attitudes right, On the narrow way.
For if you believe the Word you receive, You always will obey!

Hmm...... there's a bit of swallowing words I need to be doing here.. lets see if I can learn it well enough to teach the kids soon.....

This verse actually does drive home the fact that this isnt just a kids song. Its an eye opener for adults too...Obedience to the faith is the only way for salvation. You must obey God’s way, by putting their faith in Christ, in order to be saved. Secondly, it is an act of obedience on our part to act in faith and carry His word to all nations (The Great Commission). Thirdly, it is certain that true faith is going to produce obedience to the faith in our lives.

Obedience!

Eureka!
There was this song I had learnt long time back in Sunday School... there's was just one line I had missed out in memory.. had been praying over it... and I GOT IT!...HERE IT IS.....

The OBEDIENCE Song
Obedience is the very best way, to show that you believe.
Doing exactly what the Lord commands, doing it happily.
Action is the key - do it immediately, joy you will receive. (this was the line I 'd missed!)
Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe.
O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E
Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe.


:D...Guess I know what I 'll be doing next weekend!! I often make sure at least one or two of the next generation know the songs I learnt.. It's a quest I've been on for a while...gather all the kids I can get... and teach them the same.

The Idiot Box!

Continuing on the last blog, why must I prescreen my kid’s exposure to TV? What must I do if they have viewed something considered harmless but is in fact the most insidious poison?
Yes, people, it’s not just gory images, profanity or indecency that I must screen my kids from. What about satanic influences such as Wicca presented most appealingly? Kids with special powers who channel spirits to help them carry Herculean heroic stuff?
And what about all those fight video games?
The world’s view of what is righteous, manly and accepted has become so distorted that it is easy even for those of us on the vigil for Satan to be deceived.
And what do we tell them?
We tell them, ”Don’t say that! Don’t do that! Coz it’s rude and reflects badly on you, we say.
Well, they may not always listen… :)… But eventually the message gets across…
Likewise, just like we monitor their speech and actions, so also must we monitor their viewing. Certain images harm their perception of life.
I hear you say, “How am I going to do that? How am I going to control their visual intake?”
That’s why it is important to discuss what they saw in the light of personal values and God’s Word. You can not afford to lose heart. Being proactive means being aware of what children are learning, how they are being entertained, and who is on the other end of the phone. Keep an open line of communication…..I’m trying to do this all myself. If any of you have any new ideas, let me know… I would love to know each and everyone of your experiences.
Being a parent isn’t easy…being a Christian one is tougher! Nevertheless, I know we’ll succeed coz after all…I can do all things through Him who strengthens me!
