Christ 4 Kids!

Is anger ever a good thing? Of course not. But things and situations in this life do make us angry sometimes, don't they? It's not that we will never become angry, we certainly will. It's what we do when we become angry and frustrated that is important. Remember God always forgives us and He is always molding us! He will continue to do so until we get to heaven! Today's memory verse: Romans 12:1 "...

God is the master builder. He takes old worn out things and makes them brand new! He doesn't just throw the old away like trash and start over. He takes what is broken and worn out and restores it! That is what He is always doing with our souls every single day! Praise Him!  Today's Memory Verse: Psalm 23:3 "He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake."

What does it mean to be satisfied? There are things in this world that can give us temporary joy and happiness, but nothing on this earth can quite satisfy the longing of our souls like the presence of Jesus. Oh how we long to see His face! That is when we will be completely satisfied!  Today's memory verse: 1 Timothy 6:7-8 "When we came in to this world, we brought nothing. And when we die,...

Jesus made us a promise! He said that He would come back someday to get us. He promised to come get us and take us to heaven with Him to be with Him forever. He has never gone back on His word and He never will. He will wipe away every tear from our eye. Oh how He loves us! I cannot wait for that glorious day! Today's memory verse: 1 Corinthians 15:23: "Christ was first to be raised. When Christ c...

Jesus gave us 2 pretty simple commands to follow. Love God with all of our heart and mind and soul and strength, and love our neighbor as ourselves. Our neighbor doesn't mean just those who live next door to us or those who live in our neighborhood. Our neighbor is everyone. Our neighbor is all people. Our neighbor is others. Jesus came to save and to love people. That's exactly what we should do....

This life comes with it's fair share of fears. Courage is required everyday. Thankfully we have a God who is always beside us, fighting for us, battling with us, and giving us all the courage we need to make it through! God chooses ordinary people like you and I, and empowers us to do the most amazing things if we just have courage and trust in Him!  Today's memory verse: Isaiah 41:13 "I am t...

We are so lucky to have such a mighty God that we can always trust! He never fails us! He has never failed any of His people, ever! God has proved Himself over and over and over that he can be trusted! Sometimes it can be hard to trust, but when we do, we will always be taken care of. He will never leave us! Today's memory verse: Jeremiah 17:7 "The person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed."

  What goals do you have for your life? What are your short term goals? (things you'd like to accomplish in the near future) What about your long term goals? (things you would like to accomplish in your life time or when you're older) I think we can all agree that Jesus would have perfectly accomplished any goal He had. He would have been able to do absolutely anything He set His mi...

How would you describe unity in your own words? Do you know what it means to be unified? God certainly wants all of His people to have unity. Jesus prayed that we would have unity like He does with the Father. It doesn't get much more unified than that! May we always be looking for ways to promote unity with the people in our lives. We all need each other after all! Today's memory verse: Colossian...

There are so many ways to praise, honor, and glorify God! There are so many reasons why He is worthy of our best! He deserves tons and tons and tons of praise and honor and glory! What are some ways you can think of to praise Him? To honor Him? To glorify Him? Send me a message and tell me what you come up with!  Todays's memory verse:  1 Timothy 1:17  "Honor and glory to the King t...

Do you ever stop and think about how big God truly is? I was thinking about it today! I realized my human brain cannot fully wrap around how BIG and AMAZING He is! It's very fun to try though! Anything on this earth, and challenges, any obstacles, and problems... they are nothing for our BIG, MIGHTY, God! Today's memory verse: Matthew 19:26 "God can do all things." 

Often times when we hear the word "rules" we think of it as a bad thing. We think of them as a punishment. But they aren't! Especially rules from God. God gives us rules because He loves us. So do our parents. God's rules are there because He wants the best for us. He wants to protect us and give us the best life that He possibly can on this earth. Let's try switching our minds from thinking rules...

It's really easy to have an "if only" list that focuses on things we do not have. We are human, it happens! But we must be very careful not focus on what we don't have, and stay focused on what we do have! God has an "if only" list and I'm sure it contains so many wonderful wishes for all of our lives. Join me in considering how we can make God's "if only" list come true!  Today's memory vers...

God goes to the most incredible lengths to get our attention. Everyday He is pursuing us and making Himself known to us. He will go however far He needs to go to show His love for us. To make us understand how badly He wants our hearts and our attention. Let's strive to pursue Him and hunt for Him in the same way! He certainly deserves it for all that He has done for us! Today's memory verse: Joel...

What do you think you will do when you finally get to see Jesus face to face? Will you jump for joy? Cry? Give Him the biggest hug? Just the thought of that moment brings so much excitement, do you agree? Right now we can certainly feel Him all around us and we can pray and talk to Him whenever we want! But boy, oh, boy, I can't wait to meet Him and thank Him for all He has done for us!  Toda...

God knows we mess up. God knows we make mistakes. God knows we cannot be perfect. Phew! He's so understanding and loving! If we pretend like we're perfect, and without sin, the truth isn't in us. So let's always be honest and open with God and forever thank Him for Jesus! Today's memory verse: 1 John 1:8 "If we say we have no sin, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

I just love how Jesus did everything the opposite way that all of the religious leaders did things. Sadly, if people were sick, had diseases, had skin conditions, blindness, or anything other problem, they were viewed as an outcast and avoided. They were treated so badly. They weren't even welcome inside the city. Jesus however, went right to where the hurting people were. He touched people no one...

Having the Lord on our side is like having the best bodyguard imaginable! It's like having the strongest armor known to man! God is always protecting us and watching over us! He has never left or forgotten about His people, and He never will! That is a 100% guarantee!  Today's memory verse: Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord Himself will go before you. He will be with you. He will never leave you or...

He loves us exactly how we are; the way He made us! He promises us His joy because he loves us! Thank you God for your joy that we have because of what Jesus did for us on the cross!  Today's memory verse: Matthew 5:3 "Those peopl...

Being led by God is such an amazing blessing! Jesus allowed His every thought and every decision to be led by God. He went to Him in prayer about everything! Jesus often withdrew from crowds to be alone with God. It can be really hard to listen and to hear God speaking to us when there are too many distractions around. It's always a wonderful idea to take some quiet alone time out to pray and than...

Jesus deserves all the praise in the world! Wouldn't you agree? He is so faithful, loving, and forgiving to us! He blesses us with dozens, even hundreds, of blessings every day! What an amazing God we have! The Bible tells us that when we get to heaven, we will all have our very own, special, one on one time with Jesus! It says he will place crowns on our heads and tell us, "Well done my good and...

A little bit of kindness can go such a long way! I'm sure if we think about it, we all have someone at our school, or in our lives that could really use a friend. Let's be like Jesus and be on the lookout for those in need of a "Feast of Kindness"! May we always remember to thank Jesus for our friends and family and the kindness He showed to us when He died on the cross for us!  Today's memor...
