7 Ways to Help our Children to love God

, ,
In this season of Ramadan when many families are seeking Allah in a challenging way especially during our long daylight hours here in the UK, how do the children view God at this time and how can they learn to love God? Christians differ…

Dreams

,
"Dream, dream, dream, dream. Dream, dream, dream, dream." So says the famous Everly Brothers song 'All I have to Do is Dream' - do you remember that far back? Apparently, we all dream every night (or day if on shift work) - it's the wonderful…

Fingers in Pies!

,
Little Jack Horner (from the old nursery rhyme) managed to get a plum out from a pie which reminds me of a fantastic nursery rhyme book that has been updated and reworded to make the rhymes more relevant to children (see website of Above Rubies…

Romans 8:28

,
This may be a word and numbers to some but to me this reference opens up a whole gateway of meaning about who God is and what he can do. The Bible is such an amazing book which is why we have based our children's readers on this profound…

The most effective thing we can do is to pray - not the last resort! It doesn't have to be long. As I was tuning into God this morning, I sensed the Holy Spirit was saying, 'It's not the length of prayer, but it's the faith behind this that…

Help!

, ,
What do I do when I need help? Binge, cry, shout, work out a plan, share about it with a friend or simply pray. I've done all these things but I find that when I can stop and pray, I can then be more at peace and see the answer coming. If I…

Come

,
I'm returning to this simple word that means so much. I think that this word is one of God's favourites as he wants everyone in the whole wide world to come to him so that he can love each of us. God's love is so immense and yet so often overlooked…
