RAISING MOVERS AND SHAKERS

MoveShakeFathers and Mothers . . .
 
We are raising our children to be movers and shakers of all that is wholesome and righteous.
We are raising children of strong, moral character.
We are raising children who are well taught on all godly and moral values.
We are raising children who know their Bibles and know how to pray.
We are raising children who know how to hold their heads up and their shoulders square in the face of all opposition to righteous standards.
We are raising children who know how to overcome sin.
We are raising children who know how to resist temptations to be liars, cheats, compromisers, and lazy “good for nothings.”
We are raising children who are not afraid of devils and demonic forces of darkness who dare to roar against us.
We are raising children who know their God and who will be strong and do exploits.
We are raising children who have stickability, persistence, and pluck.
We are raising children who are learning how to fight in the battles of life, who will never quit, or throw in the towel.
 
The whole world needs fathers and mothers who will be prepared to sacrifice everything to make this happen.
 
“The people who know their God will be strong and take action”
(Daniel 11:32 HCSB)

REMAIN FAITHFUL TO GOD'S WORD

TrumpVance“Christians cannot vote for Democrats and remain faithful to God’s word at the same time. This isn’t even controversial. No believer in Jesus can support the party of abortion-on-demand and child-mutilation.”

A FATHER’S PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY

FathersPrimaryResponsibility“Where is the business that is so important as to justify a man’s evasion of the sacred duties which he owes to his own family? There cannot be any other work in this world which a man can do that will excuse him at God’s bar for having neglected the care of his own home and the training of his own children. No success in any department of the world’s work can possibly atone for failure here. No piling up of this world’s treasures can compensate a man for the loss of those incomparable jewels of his own children.”
 
~ J. R. Miller (1840 – 1912).

FATHER, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE

ResponsibleFather“Parents are the builders of the home. From them it receives its character, whether good or evil. It will be just what they make it. If it be happy, they must be the authors of the happiness; if it be unhappy, the blame must rest with them. Its tone, its atmosphere, its spirit, its influence, it will take from them. They have the making of the home in their own hands, and God holds them responsible for it.”
 
~ J. R. Miller (1840 – 1912).
