Protecting the Family

    Today we went to school. We worked in two English classes and helped the students with their English. We taught them their body parts, left and right, and in and out by teaching the hokey pokey! It was a hit. The girls especially love putting the hips in and out! lol We then shared stories of our families and then what God says about family from scripture. The teacher then added encouragement to what we said. We learned that the majority of these students do not have parents living in the home and some even live by themselves and take care of their siblings. We shared how God says in scripture that if your father and mother abandon you, that He would always be with you. Every face was glued to the words Brittne would translate and speak. When we closed, the teacher asked the students if they had any other questions and a boy raised his hands and asked how you find Jesus. Brittne was able to share the complete gospel with the children and the teacher who is so close to understanding.

     I realized when I was hearing about how Satan is attacking the families in Peru, how he works the same everywhere. His character, his style, and his tactics do not change. The only difference is how strong the Christian stronghold is where he is attacking. If America doesn’t wake up; if Christians do not wake up and protect the family; our world will fall even more so into the hands of Satan.
      I am sure that all of us have been affected by the blows of destroyed homes. We must stop the cycle. However, to make a difference in our homes, Jesus has to make a difference in our individual lives. Not on the surface; in the deep core of our soul. He has to change us!
     Does Jesus really make a difference in your life? Does He really make a difference in your home? Why settle for anything other than the best Jesus can give?

My father and mother walked out and left me, but God took me in.
