Many children in our western culture have been told they can’t sit in worship. They have been led to believe that the Bible is too difficult for them to understand.

Are they taught of the victory of God in fulfilling His great promises to His people? Are they taught how destructive and devastating sin is? Are they exposed to the ultimate reality of God’s wrath against His enemies? Are they told of the grace of God in Christ? Are they taught about the significance of the return of Christ?

These articles are written by our oldest daughter. Today's Woman of Faith is Lillian Trasher.
