Take Them Kids To Church

Luke 18:15-16

15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


Have you ever been setting in church and a kid start screaming? Have you ever been setting there listening to the message and a kid take off running from their parents? Your first thought is probably, I wish they would get that kid under control or just keep them home. Well, how do you think that kid is going to learn? They learn by being in church. They learn when that parent catches them and sets them down not to get up. We have spent so much time thinking that if kids are a distraction, they should be left at home. That is the farthest thing from being right. I have been preaching and my own child jump up and start running around. I just keep preaching while his mother runs him down. Children are the future of our church. By bringing them, they learn and grow. It does not matter how loud those children get. Take them to church.
