Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory #74

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of

the Lord,

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes

of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword-

His truth is marching on.

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!

His truth is marching on!

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the

sea,

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and

me;

As He died to make men holy, let us live to make

men free,

While God is marching on.

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!

His truth is marching on!

Let’s Just Praise the Lord Let’s just praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let’s just lift our hearts to heaven and praise the Lord;

praise the Lord!

To God Be the Glory #8

To God be the glory- great things He hath done!

So loved He the world that He gave us His son,

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin

And opened the Life-gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord

Let the earth hear His voice!

Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory-

Great things He hath done!

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son;

But purer and higher and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord

Let the earth hear His voice!

Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory-

Great things He hath done!

Blessed Assurance #319

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

O what a fore-taste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long;

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission- all is at rest,

I in my Savior am happy and blest;

Watching and waiting, looking above,

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long;

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long.

How Great Thou Art! #16

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow’r thru-out the universe displayed!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow in humble adoration

And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Lamb of God

Your only Son, no sin to hide,

But You have sent Him from Your side

To walk upon this guilty sod,

And to become the Lamb of God.

O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;

I love the holy Lamb of God.

O wash me in His precious blood.

My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Your gift of love they crucified,

They laughed and scorned Him as He died;

The humble King they named a fraud,

And sacrificed the Lamb of God.

O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;

I love the holy Lamb of God.

O wash me in His precious blood.

My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

I was so lost I should have died,

But You have brought me to Your side

To be led by Your staff and rod,

And to be called a lamb of God.

O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;

I love the holy Lamb of God.

O wash me in His precious blood.

Till I am just a lamb of God.

The Age of Accountability

When should children be baptized?

When is a child old enough to make a commitment to Christ and be baptized for

the forgiveness of sins?

When does a child become accountable for his or her sins?

At what point is a child in danger of losing his or her soul to eternal hell because of

unforgiven sin?

How much time do you spend preparing your child for eternity?

WHAT IS

MEANT BY

ACCOUNTABILITY?

What is meant by accountability?

Children are innocent and adults are accountable.

It is at some point in between the two that one moves from

innocence to accountability.

Ezekiel 18:20“The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him and the wickedness of the wicked

man will be charged against him.”

Matthew 19:14“Let the little children come to Me and do

not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 18:3“I tell you the truth, unless you change and

become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Romans 3:23“For all have sinned and fall short of

the glory of God”

Romans 6:23“The wages of sin is death.”

WHAT IS THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY?

WHAT IS THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY?

Scripture does not say. So how do we know?

Regardless of age, there are two things required to properly respond to the gospel…

UNDERSTANDING

And

COMMITMENT

I Peter 3:21

“the pledge of a good conscience toward God.”

THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY BEGINS AT WHATEVER YOUR AGE

IS WHEN YOUR CHILD IS BORN.

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TEACHING

CHRISTIAN VALUES AND BELIEFS TO YOUR CHILD!

Living for Jesus #450Living for Jesus a life that is true,Striving to please Him in all that I do,Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free-This is the pathway of blessing for me.

O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee,For Thou in Thine atonement didst give Thyself for me.I own no other Master- my heart shall be Thy throneMy life I give, henceforth to live,O Christ, for Thee alone.

Living for Jesus who died in my place,Bearing on Calv’ry my sin and disgrace-Such love constrains me to answer His call,Follow His leading and give Him my all.
