Teach Them to Your Children
In Deuteronomy 11:19-21 Moses reminds God’s people to do the fallowing with the law;
Deuteronomy 11:19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land …
Over the past 25 years of working with young people I’ve developed a list of key Bible verses or phrases which are applicable to my expectations. I use these to aid in training kids to the right things. In my experience long, tedious lectures are often ineffective, as they can build resentment. Just insert a verse at appropriate times and let the Spirit do his work. Some I have used are:
- Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
- Philippians 4:5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
- Philippians 2:14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,
- 1Timothy 5:22 (b) do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
- Ephesians 4:26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
- Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
- 1Thessalonians 5:22 Avoid every kind of evil.
- Romans 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
- Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
- Proverbs 20:11 Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.
- James 4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.
- Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
- Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
- Proverbs 10:19 When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
- 1Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
- Proverbs 22:1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
I have many of these in my office and use them at appropriate times to train the students in the way they should go (according to God’s Word of course). I would like to encourage you as, Moses does, to make it a priority to proclaim God’s laws in your homes, in your own life, and in the lives of your children and/or grandchildren. Develop a list of Scriptures that you can use to encourage yourself and your family too live Holy lives. Then hang them up and talk about them.
If you use some that are not on my list, please send them to me at rusty.kirkpatrick@caseagles.org
May God bless you as you Equip your next Generation of Christ Centered Leaders.

4th & 5th Grades Going on a Field Trip
This year students in the 4th & 5th grades will be taking a field trip to the Ohio Caverns in West Liberty, Ohio on Thursday, April 19th. Students will walk through sections of the cavern that are covered in white crystal formations and have exquisite colors. They will learn about local geology and the unique cavern environment. The tour will last approximately one hour with the temperature of the caverns at a constant 54 degrees Fahrenheit. Please be sure that your child brings a warm jacket to wear while in the caverns. Gym shoes should be worn due to the slippery cavern floor and climbing up 60 steps leading to the exit.
After our cavern tour and gem mining experience, students will eat a sack lunch at the on-site park which contains shelter houses and a playground. As time and weather affords, the students will be allowed to play at the park. No shopping will be allowed at the gift shop, so please don’t allow your child to bring any money with them. Please make sure both the sack lunch and drink are disposable.

Verse of the Week
As “Easter” people, we must believe that God will get God’s way in the end, no matter what. If Jesus’ death on the cross has been defeated by the empty tomb at Easter, what other victories is God working on? How is God working in your life and in mine to give us victory over temptation and sin? Where does God show up in our daily walk?
If we allow it, Eater can move us quickly from the affirmation, “He is risen,” to an assignment, “Go into your family, community and the world and do something about it.” By carrying out that assignment, Eater continues within the lives of each one for the rest of our life and beyond.
