Rick and Marlene Thornton accompanied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Butler, brought their baby son, Jonathan David, to the front to dedicate him to the Lord. Mrs. Judith Ross sang Our Greatest Joy is Loving You. Rev. Roger Mason read Deuteronomy 6:6-7, where parents are entrusted to raise their children to follow the Lord. He spoke from Pro- verbs 22:6. What does it mean to train a child? In Hebrew it means to create a thirst in the child for the things of God. It also means teaching a child to submit to God and God's word. Again it is to dedicate the child to the Lord, to direct him in the right way while blocking him from going in the wrong way. In the way he should go means in accordance with the aptitude of the child. Be sensitive to the gifted abilities of the child. Parents also must train a child according to God's word. What does it mean "when he is old"? It is referring to adulthood and maturity. When a child is ready to leave home as an adult he will not depart from his early training. The greatest influences on the child is the home. The godly example of the parents is what will be passed on to the children. It is an awesome task in today's world to develop a godly af- fection for God in the children. Rev. Roger Mason Sunday evening spoke from Malachi 3:13-15. These' are the thoughts of a skeptical backslider. God accuses them of ar- rogant words against Him. They ask- ed how had they spoken against God? In verse 14 God exposed their backslidden thoughts. Their words were skeptical, expressing it was vain to serve God. They were in bondage and poverty. But they were not right with God. Their perspective was a selfish one. Instead a Christian should say "What can I do for God today? The words of a backslider are religious words. They confessed they had lived up to the commands of God. They said they had acted in repen- tance. But their actions were all ex- ternal actions without heartfelt repentance. Verse 15 is a summary of their case against God, saying God is not judg- ing the wicked.
