Salvation Saturday: Choose Christ!

"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve..."  Joshua 24:15

 Alyssa & Kyle...1999

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian
any more than going to the garage makes you a car.
--Laurence J. Peter

Salvation is my greatest prayer for my children. Just because Alyssa and Kyle have grown up in the church, or have parents who are pastors, it doesn’t guarantee that they will choose to believe in Jesus Christ. One day they will have to choose for themselves whom they will serve.

And I pray that they choose Christ!

Lord, hear my heart! I pray that Alyssa and Kyle believe in you all the days of their lives. May the seeds that have been planted in their hearts and minds by their parents, Sunday school teachers over the years, or their youth workers and friends, germinate into a lifelong love for you! I pray that the message of your Word becomes real to them, and they believe with all their heart that You the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. May they believe you are the Creator, the Forgiver of sins, and the Light of the world! Lord, may they look to you as their Savior! This is my greatest desire, and I'm sure your greatest desire too. Lord Almighty, I entrust Alyssa and Kyle to your care today!
