The Importance of Studying and Loving Little Children

Do you want to enter God's kingdom?

“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 18:3).

Do you want to be great in God's kingdom?

"Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 18:4).

Do you want to receive Jesus and the Father?

"And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 'Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.'" (Mark 9:36-37)

Do you want to avoid God's judgment on your teaching, leadership, and parenting?

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." (Matt. 18:5-6)

Do you need motivation to love and welcome kids?

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven." (Matt. 18:10)

Common Characteristics of Sex Offenders

It's always a good idea to keep a mental checklist...especially in children's ministry

• 90 – 92% of the time has a relationship with both the family and child
• Is always in a position of authority or trust
• Appears normal
• Can be from any religious, cultural, or ethnic group, and any socio-economic level
• Understands and capitalizes on the child’s vulnerability
• Grooms a child over a long period of time
• May have been abused a child or adolescent
• Threatens, bribes, shames, and intimidates the child into remaining silent.
• May try to make the child feel special
• Two-thirds of the time does not use physical violence
• Usually abuses a child over a long period of time – not just one time.
• Will abuse children of any gender
• Often has a variety of addictions
• Can be of any age as long as the abuser has a position of control or power. This same age children with same age children, teens, or young, middle age, and senior citizens.
• An adolescent or adult who tends to struggle with same-age (peer) relationships. These folks get along really well with young children. People usually see this person as someone who is wonderful with kids.
• Has often abused anywhere from a few children upward to 1,200 kids prior to being reported.
• Has a special interest in your child that he/she does not take in other children. Buys special gifts or takes special places.
• Is manipulative. Sex offenders are master deceivers and often seek to volunteer in churches and other non-profit organizations. Convicted sex offenders are frequently able to convince others they never committed the crime(s) that lead to their imprisonment or lifelong probation
