How to impact your kids for eternity

March 26, 2013

Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned…

Titus 2:7-8

I remember in 1956 when my family was living in Conway, Arkansas. My parents took us over to Little Rock one evening for a Billy Graham crusade. I really didn’t know what it was all about. I just knew it was a big stadium and there was an enthusiastic man preaching!

When the preaching was finished, we were singing “Just as I Am” and I noticed my parents were whispering to one another. So my mom turned to me and said, “Jackie, you stay right here. Your dad and I are going to make a decision.” So they walked forward and made a public profession of Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives.

I didn’t fully understand it, but I’ve never forgotten it. To see my parents’ dedication of their own lives to the Lord’s service is something that’s etched in my brain. And when I encounter struggles of my own, I remember their faithfulness and am encouraged by their willingness to surrender themselves to Jesus. It’s made all the difference for me.

Parents, don’t ever underestimate the impact you have on your kids. How you respond to Christ and live for Him is going to stay with them forever. Be an example of a faithful follower to your kids. They won’t forget it!

EXEMPLIFY FAITHFUL SERVICE TO CHRIST FOR YOUR KIDS AND THEY’LL BE FOREVER CHANGED BECAUSE OF IT.

Get the best from 2012 to be your best in 2013


Dear Friend,

While many pastors shy away from addressing controversial issues, I sincerely believe you need to hear straight, “bulls-eye” biblical teaching on many of today’s hot topics. Not only to grow in your faith as a believer, but to give winsome, compassionate answers to the hard questions our culture is asking.

That’s why I want to send you a special new resource today – my CD series called The Best of 2012.

This series contains 10 of my most popular and compelling messages from 2012, and it’s a resource that’s sure to help you in 2013 because it includes messages such as, “Are All Religions the Same?”, “Lessons on Leadership,” and “What Is a Christian?”

The Best of 2012 is my gift to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint continue to proclaim God’s Word and truth ’til the whole world hears. So please request your copy when you give today.

Thank you!
