That's the serious thing. If we ever dishonor Jesus our name will be removed unless we get forgiveness through His grace while we're still living. Honor your mother. Love her and love Jesus all the days of your life. A woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Mothers are sort of like pastors.
We have several pastors in our church today, and you mothers are like pastors. Your home is your church, and your children are your congregation your living room is the sanctuary, your lap is the pulpit where the Bible is read, and your knee is a sacred altar where prayer is heard. Maybe that is why it is said that an ounce of Mother is worth a pound of Clergy. Mothers are so much able to influence their children, and I appreciate every mother in this congregation today. I hope that each of you will dedicate your life to Jesus Christ so that you will be an example to your children and to the rest of your family.
