Here's Barbara Riyoc. What we really need to be messaging is that God prevails in his plan,

regardless of imperfections in people. And his promises prevail no matter how powerful,

worldly leaders appear to be.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss-Swalkamuth, author of Surrender for July 24, 2018.

Did you know that Revive Our Hearts has a blog?

It's called The True Woman blog, and you can read it for yourself each day at revive our hearts.com.

Last year, the most read post on that blog was by a woman named Barbara Riyak. The topic was teaching the gospel to younger

children. Well, that post obviously hit on a need that parents are feeling about how they can

effectively pass on to the next generation the truth of God's word. And today we'll hear from

Barbara on that same topic. Yesterday, she shared with us how important it is to be

honest with kids about an important biblical truth. That is, we are all sinners. We can't do good

or be good on our own. You know, I've been in the church all my life, for which I'm thankful,

and I've seen a lot of children's Bible story books and children's curriculum in the church all my life, for which I'm thankful, and I've seen a lot of children's

Bible story books and children's curriculum in the church. And one of the problems with some

of it is that the emphasis for children is on our external behavior. But Barbara has reminded

us of the reality that we're dead in sin. And on our own, we really can't be good. Now, if we stopped right

there, we'd all be in a hopeless mess. And that leads to Barbara's second point, which she's about

to share. Barbara heads up the children's outreach for Bible study fellowship, BSF, and we're

listening to a message that she gave to children's leaders.

Now here's Barbara.

Here's tool number two.

Teach about God's plan for sending Jesus.
