Is anyone else out there?
As parents and Bible Class teachers we can sometimes feel alone. Children are hearing so many unhealthy messages from the world that we can feel inadequate in sharing the truth of God’s Word with them week after week.
But remember there are others around the world who, like you, love children and have a hope-filled knowledge that God will make an eternal difference in their lives. They, like you, do not know the future challenges the children will face but they believe that the faith they will need comes from hearing God’s Word.
Stand Alone on the Word of God
- Good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are not enough.
As Jesus reminded Satan, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

Jesus described discipleship to the Jews who believed him when he said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:32, NIV - Being born into a faithful family is not enough.
The author of Romans talked about the people of God (the Jews) that did not accept his son, Jesus, when he writes, “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”
Romans 10:17, NIV - We are not enough.
Hopefully, we are doing our best to plant the seeds of faith in the children we teach. But even the Apostle Paul reminded the Corinthians that, “neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. ”
1 Corinthians 3:7, NIV
