Night Prayer
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Inspiration
Christian education is crucial as it brings our children to know the Lord. We will be careful when we teach our little ones about Jesus and take responsibility for the knowledge we pass along. We will be an example of the love of Christ in our words and actions so they will hear the truth and seek salvation in Jesus' name. We will continue to mentor our children as they develop their relationship with the Lord.
Prayer
Dearest Heavenly Father, we love our children as You do; please teach us to help them understand Your love and promise of salvation. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
