Will The Church Still Be Here.....

WILL THERE BE A CHURCH OF CHRIST IN MILAN 60 YEARS FROM NOW?  
"Train up a child in the way he should go..." (Pro. 22:6)  
   
A few years ago, we celebrated 60 years of the church’s presence in Milan. One cannot help but wonder if the church will be here 60 years hence. Although numerous factors will influence the answer, one is clear – Will our children & grandchildren become AND remain committed Christians?  
   
To a great degree the answer depends on what we as parents & grandparents are currently teaching them. And that is determined as much by our EXAMPLE as by our words. Therefore…  
   
We can only convince our children that God and Jesus come first when WE make the Father and Son the priority of our lives - more important than sports, recreation, TVs, smart phones and computers.  
   
We can only convince our children that worshipping God is crucial when WE make certain to attend services ever week.  
   
We can only convince our children that studying the Bible is important when WE take the time to read God’s word and attend Bible class.  
   
We can only convince our children that daily prayer if vital when WE spend time daily praying to our Father in heaven.  
   
We can only convince our children that swearing or taking God’s name in vain are sinful when WE make certain that our language is totally free of profanity.  
   
We can only convince our children that modesty in appearance is important when WE avoid wearing revealing attire.  
   
We can only convince our children that pornography is sinful when WE eliminate TV shows, movies or videos that depict partially (or completely) nude persons or couples engaged in sex.  
   
We can only convince our children that lying is wrong when WE avoid telling “white lies” or embellishing the truth.  
   
We can only convince our children that the most important thing in this life is to prepare for the next when WE are making preparations ourselves.  
   
***************************************************************************************  
   
A man remarked to a friend, “Our children will determine the future of the world!”  To which the friend retorted, “No, it is what we TEACH OUR CHILDREN that will determine the future of the world.”  
   
Jesus, always Jesus,
