Summary

Send us a text"How do we raise faithful kids?" I have asked that many times and been asked that many times. We often answer with environmental factors. We need to raise them in a Christian home. We need to surround them with Christian people. We need to give them a daily serving of the Word of God. All of these are great. They are major factors, but they do not determine the salvation of yourself, nor your children.There have been people with all of those aids who did not love God. And there ...

0:00.0	Welcome to the Excel Stillmore podcast. I am your host, Chris Emerson. I'm here to encourage you in your walk with God. Thank you for joining in.
0:14.8	Today's podcast is sponsored by a wonderful company, Creation to Revelation. This group of Christians believe it is extremely important that we teach the Word of God to our kids.
0:27.1	They have original graphic illustrations from the beginning of the Bible to the end,
0:32.2	featuring the beautiful and consistent presence of Jesus throughout.
0:36.5	You can explore all of that at creation to revelation.com.
0:41.7	I'm so thankful you're here, so let's get started.
0:47.5	Hey, welcome back. I really love it that you've joined today. I want to share with you a story from
0:52.2	the Old Testament that teaches us something
0:54.1	imperative, that a holy, humble, tender heart for God is the single most important thing

1:08.7	to love God and to know that God loves you, surrendering yourself fully and willingly
1:14.7	to believing in him, convinced and convicted that a life expended in the name of the Lord
1:22.1	and in the arms of the Lord is a life most beautifully lived, treasuring God in your heart and knowing that God
1:30.1	will treasure you in his presence forever. What I want you to understand today is that there is no
1:36.1	substitute for that kind of passion for the Lord. Nothing can replace a soft, impliable heart of belief, and nothing can cover for a hard heart that
1:48.8	rebels against acceptance of God. Now, as we will explore today, there are environmental elements to our
1:55.9	faith, the people we surround ourselves with, the things we do objectively with our time.
2:02.0	Good elements around your life are certainly good for you.
2:06.2	They are factors.
2:07.8	They are influencers.
2:09.8	But they are not the determinant on whether or not you will spend forever in the arms of God.
2:15.3	That is sourced in one place only in the heart of every believer.
