A Short Word

Don't drop the baton, pass it on!

When a child is raised by praying parents, walking according to God's word, 85% of the time they'll develop a strong faith by age thirteen.  "But what if they are grown?"

God is a redeemer.  Commit your life to Christ; and generational cycle's of failure can be broken.

The Bible says:

Matthew 5:14-16
New International Version

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Isaiah 59:2
New International Version

2 
But your iniquities have separated
    you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
    so that he will not hear.

Psalm 71:16-18
New International Version

16 
I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;
    I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 
Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
    and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 
Even when I am old and gray,
    do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
    your mighty acts to all who are to come.

Don't drop the baton!  Pass it on through your children and grandchildren!  GOD WILL WORK!
