DADDY’S AND
MAMA’S CHURCH
Next to Bible reading and prayer
in the home is to have mother,
father and children to attend Bible
School and Church services togeth
er. Multitudes of grown people to
1 day will testify to the fact that
; the life-transforming experiences
took place as mother, father and
children faithfully attended wor
ship services.
Prayerless, church-less parents
professing Christians who do not
work at the job help create an cm
ptyness in the lives of their child
ren. With all the weakness of the
church and the hypocrits in the
church there is no institution on
the face of the globe that exerts
a better influence than the church
of the Living God on the people
of the world. Of course there arc
false religions hut a church that
proclaims Jesus Christ as the Sav
iour of men and as the son of God
and believes and teaches the great
doctrines of the Bible a
church like that needs our support
and prayers.
The professed followers of Christ
make up the church. If you are a
professed follower of Christ, Moth
er and Father, place your letter
in the church of your choice and
attend services regularly with your
family. It is your duty and privi
lege to yourselves, your children
and to everybody else. God is
counting on you to be faithful,
don’t fail Him!
