WELCOME
Very often it is told“All that glitters is not gold”It can get you in a spinMuch worse, it leads you to sinTo Achan Joshua did sayWhat happened on that dull daySay the truth, give God gloryTell me, the exact storyAgainst the Lord, Achan sinnedBy the glitter he was pinnedNo trouble, and no real toilHe was dazzled by the spoilCoins, silver, and also goldSon of Zerah was just soldTo steel all, could not resistTo hide all, he did persist
Before the Lord, goods laidFor the sin lots to be paidWhat Achan owned, and much moreReached the valley of AchorJoshua then showed his concernsOn the sinner trouble turns By Israel Achan stonedWhat a way to be disownedIf you look and desireOne can feel stones and fireHiding secrets does not countTo repent we are all boundIn the end we face the truthAs we reach our ending routePay your dues and even fretThe wages of sin is death

praying for the next generation
capture what's on your mindThe fruit of the Spirit is something our kids do not yet understand. We all hope someday They will. On the contrary, our kids are born innocent, and as Jesus said, theirs is the kingdom of heaven. However, their environment will soon challenge their innocence. We, their parents, are the first environment press the children encounter. This is why the Bible commands us, parents, to be their primary-godly example, at home, during dinner time, outside, all the time (Deut. 6:1-3). In fact, this passage also reveals that such a lifestyle contributes to a productive lifestyle.Therefore, the question is: are we parents providing this environment to lead them on the right path and help them not stumble in anything?It is our responsibility to pray that as a growing church craving the fruit of the Spirit, our children also crave to grow healthier and closer to God as we teach them holy-godly living and the fear of God.
