The God of Truth – Part 1
The Bible teaches that God always tells the truth and cannot lie. Titus 1:2 says, “in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.” Hebrews 6:18 states, “that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.”

Lessons from Children’s Songs – Part 5
God does not want us to just behave in any old way we please. Peter wrote, “Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:13-16).

Lessons from Children’s Songs – Part 4
The gospel chariot is a metaphor for the church. We want as many to be added to the kingdom as possible. Paul wrote, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief” (1 Timothy 1:15). Saving sinners means that we stop and pick up as many as we can as we faithfully preach the gospel and sow the seed of the kingdom.

Lessons from Children’s Songs – Part 3
This song emphasizes that God is the creator of all things. It is an echo of Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth.” Children who sing these lyrics understand that God made everything simply by speaking it into existence. One cannot read Genesis 1 and get the idea that everything evolved over a long period of time without someone planting that idea first. This theory of evolution is false.

Lessons from Children’s Songs – Part 2
Jesus loves everyone, whatever their race or country of origin. It is sacrilege for us to say otherwise. “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him” (Acts 10:34, 35). One’s country of origin plays no part in how God looks at us. He looks at everyone the same—in need of the gospel.

Lessons from Children’s Songs – Part 1
“Jesus Loves Me” is probably the most sublime song of which I know. It was written by Anna Bartless Warner in 1859. This song tells the truth that it was love that motivated Jesus to sacrifice himself on the cross for our sins. It tells us that he will take care of our needs. How do we know these things? “The Bible tells me so.”

Spreading the Gospel Message
Jesus said, “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest” (John 4:35). “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:38). Let us teach and pray and then teach and pray some more. There are souls who are ready to be added to the church (Acts 2:48). What are you doing to help them?
