Why VBS?

June 4, 2019

By Steve Horn Summer means several things — no school, family trips, baseball, heat, and here in Louisiana, hurricanes. But, summer for churches means Vacation Bible School. Would you stop right now and pray for churches investing in children this summer through Vacation Bible School? Some estimate that 2/3 of Americans plan to send their children to a VBS this summer. This is an astounding number. What an opportunity! Why then is VBS so important? Their futures are at stake! The future of every child begins with a strong foundation. Their salvation is dependent upon hearing and responding to the Word of God. Paul declared, “So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.” (Romans 10:17) Their strength is developed by hearing and responding to the Word of God. The Psalmist summed up the power of the Word of God. How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping Your word. (Psalm 119:9) Their success in the God endeavors of life is dependent upon obeying the Word of God. Read Joshua 1:8. “This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it.

Estate planning is stewardship

June 3, 2019

By Jerry Love, Louisiana Baptist Foundation Planning is a part of our daily lives. We plan menus for the day or week; we plan vacations; we plan meetings; and, … the list goes on. Why, then, is it difficult to make plans for one of the more important parts of our lives – our estates? Estate planning often is looked at as a dreaded or unpleasant task. Many people have expressed feelings that if they make plans for their estate their lives will be over. Others take a more cavalier approach, saying “someone else can deal with that after I am gone.” As followers of Christ, we should all be interested in the stewardship of our assets, or our “stuff.” A prayerfully thought-out estate plan can be the largest single act of stewardship that you will undertake in your lifetime. Indeed, determining how to take care of others, how to be a blessing to others and how to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ through your personal planning is stewardship. So, take a look at some essentials of estate planning, which is stewardship! PEOPLE The first step is as simple as making a list of the people who are most important to you. This should include anyone (children, spouse, grandchildren, parents) in your care during your … [Read more...]
