This past week (Monday to Friday) my kids participated in a Vacation Bible School (VBS) at a local church where one of our friends attend. My daughter was one of the helpers. This is her second year of helping VBS at that church. She decorated the church, set up the props, prepared snacks, counted the offering, etc. My boys (natural athletes) enjoyed all the sports and games while learning about living and winning God’s way. The VBS’s theme is God’s All-Star Champions (wearing God’s gear, "the full armor of God.") My 7 yo son was one of the 3 kids who succeeded at memorizing Ephesians 6:11, 13-18 (putting on the full armor of God). My daughter already had that memorized so she was able to help her brother memorize the verses. My 4 yo son managed to memorize other shorter verses. At home we always encourage one another on Bible memorization. We try to keep it fun and interesting while reminding our kids ...
"I am the Vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing." (John 15:5) It is our desire to always abide in JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Savior, and to bear much fruit...hence "Fruitbearers." "The fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, and SELF-CONTROL. Against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23
