Brainwashing and Heart Training

I loved this article at credenda.org!
My wife and I are currently teaching our two boys the Westminster Shorter Catechism for boys and girls. When asked "Why did God create you?" my two year old replies, "Fwor His own Gwory!"
How awesome to see them catching true doctrine. Do they understand? Do we understand? Maybe not now but I know that just as in this article there will come a time for the "Ahha!" moment.
God will illuminate His truth to all of us in His own time! It is our responsibility to continually feast on His Word so that He can provide the nutrients we need from it!
As I say to my youth, "Have you had your God flakes today?"
Some...who evidentally don't get it would say this is brainwashing our children. I prefer to call it heart training!

Been a while!

Well it has been a while since you have heard from me. Although, I have been busy on my other blog for the church. www.journey-ministries.blogspot.com
I have been posting like crazy and the youth are really loving it. I have been called to full time ministry at FBC C harlestown and now I am ministering to both the youth and the music aspects of the congregation. Busy....yes, however I am still going to school and I am continuing to further myself toward graduation.
I really enjoy FBC Charlestown. I don't know what God is going to do there with me, but it is exciting to see so many people support and encourage the ministries I am involved with there.
I miss Anchor Baptist Church many times, and even though I only served there for such a short time, I still look at my photos of the people there and I keep in touch as best I can. God is definitely growing their congregation. I am encouraged everytime I recieve an e-mail from Paul.
School has been difficult, however I am keeping my head above water. The challenge this semester is Elem. Greek.
I have no idea, but I am trying. God will have to show me the way.
Oh, my friend and predesessor and his family are now in Africa. They have a blog. www.tanzaniatermitemound.blogspot.com It is fun to read of their adventures over another world away. Jimmy is hilarious and in good spirits. Please pray from them!
