Scripture

2 Timothy 3

15 You have been taught the Holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Observation

The Word of God corrects us, it teaches us, and God uses it to prepare and equip us for doing good works or deeds. It brings us to salvation. It shows us what is wrong in our lives.

Timothy was taught the scriptures from childhood and Paul says that is what helped Timothy to be saved. We need to teach our children and our grandchildren the Word of God so they can be saved.

Vacation Bible School is an intense week in God’s word for kids. Last night we have our VBS family fun night and our kids got to show their parents what they had learned. One of the key things that they learn every year is the ABC’s of salvation: Admit that you are a sinner; Believe that Jesus is God’s Son and that He died on the cross for our sins; Confess that you need to surrender your life to Jesus Christ and ask Him to come into your life to save you.

Application

I will follow up and visit some of those families this week.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for all those that helped with VBS. Thank for all the children that attended and I pray that they will all have the chance to attend church and grow in their knowledge of you. I pray that some of those families would visit our church or some other church because of what has happened in the lives of their children this week in VBS.
