Blue Ridge Moments with Dr. Billie J. Minton

E-078 Jesus Christ is Foundation Already Laid

Dr. Billie J. Minton Season 2020 Episode 85

Some people are not ever taught to be God dependent and to put all of their eggs in His basket. He created us and gave us this life. Without God, nothing in your life will be solid or have a strong foundation. Your future becomes built on weakness and has no Godly guidance.

It all starts with our parents. My parents had us in church, bible study and bible camp. It built a strong, faith based outlook of hope for the future. I had been introduced to God by my parents and knew that I had a Heavenly Father, God. I was taught about Jesus, how He sacrificed his life and died on the cross to save us from our past, present and future sins. Knowing, trusting and believing in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, made a significant difference in my life. It provided me with spiritual direction and carved out a journey to begin planning for an eternal future.

I have met and known so many kids in school and young adults in college that had no idea what the true meaning of salvation or knowing and Loving God meant. I have heard many of them say that they believed in a higher power. The first time I heard that phrase it sounded weak and clueless. It sounded like a poor explanation for the fact that they really did not know what they believed in. It made me feel sad when I heard people say this growing up and it still makes me feel that way today.

There are actually parents that truly believe that they have brought their children up in a Loving home without God. They have taken them on vacations, to the movies, helped them study, allowed them to have slumber parties and spent time with their children. None of the aforementioned, means much at all without introducing and teaching your children about God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

God is the eternal Heavenly Father for all of us. Earthly parents can only live on this earth for a limited amount of time. Then, the cycle starts again when the next generation has their children. Our toolbox of eternity has to contain the most powerful, righteous, Heavenly tool of all; God! Parents, teach your children about God.

1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
