I'm sure that you will echo this sentiment. As I write and prepare the lesson and then later teach the lesson, I have had the Holy Spirit speak to me and challenge my personal life through the lesson. This has been especially true in this "Children Who Know Their God" series of lessons. Week after week, I have heard the voice of the Holy Spirit challenge me in various areas of my daily walk with Him, perhaps none more evident than in this week's lesson. Week #7 God is an All-Day, Every-Day God! On one of my speaking trips, I boarded an airplane at the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport to return home....

If nothing else is accomplished through this "Children Who Know Their God" series, I would gladly spend the hours each week in prayer and writing (it literally does take hours to write a lesson) just so that the children in our ministry would move from knowing about God to actually knowing Him and having an intimate relationship with Him. Really, this series ought to be taught in the adult services, shouldn't it!This week, I want to share the next teaching segment taken from Daniel 11:32 and show you how that we taught the children that they can enter into a deeper relationship with God by...

I love the resolve found in Daniel 11:32. This verse assures us that: "... the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]."

Again, in this segment we are focusing upon the children knowing God. Week #6 Get to Know Him...

I'm so excited. I feel like a little boy at Christmas that is sitting in front of the Christmas tree with a big, beautifully wrapped present resting in my lap. I am poised with my fingers gripping the wrapping paper anxiously waiting to reveal what is hidden underneath the paper. The great unveiling is just minutes away.This excitement comes from what is happening in our children's ministry. Each week, the "Children Who Know Their God" teaching is removing the "wrapping paper" so that our children can see what previously has been hidden. As each new lesson builds upon the previous week's...

Just in case you are new to the blog, let me share a revelation that is so important and timely. Here it is ... TODAY is the day of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost wants to reveal Himself to each and every one of us TODAY. The Holy Ghost wants to reveal Himself through each and every one of us TODAY. And, this includes our children! I shared in last week's blog about the importance of laying a foundation for the manifest presence and power of God by teaching. Using the McDonald's Happy Meal Principle shared in the last blog, each week, we are imparting age-appropriate servings (segments) of...
