Subject: Free resources for April's character focus

This month's character focus is Security: "Structuring my life around that which is eternal and cannot be destroyed or taken away"

This month, our character focus is Security. The operational definition of security is “structuring my life around that which is eternal and cannot be destroyed or taken away.”


Many people strive to obtain wealth, approval, and pleasure, but do not find peace. Peace comes when our minds are fixed on the Lord, and we are trusting in Him rather than in material belongings. True security, that which cannot be destroyed or taken away, comes when you live for what will last for eternity.


Only three things are eternal, meaning they last forever: God, His Word, and people.


  • Do you know God? As God reveals Who He is to you, your walk with Him will be strengthened. Are you aware of His presence throughout each day?

  • Are your life decisions based on God’s Word? God’s Word gives instruction on how to live.

  • Are you investing in people? Are people more important to you than your possessions and schedule?


When you build your life around these three eternal things, you will find true security that cannot be destroyed or taken away!


Here are some free resources to help your family study security this month.

This is just one lesson from a more comprehensive children’s curriculum! Check out the Security booklet which contains additional lessons with more coloring pages, activities, memory verses, and Bible stories, along with helpful resources for parents and teachers. Through this study, children will understand the difference between eternal and temporal things. When they see that Christ is the One Who truly fulfills and satisfies, earthly loss will strengthen their security in Christ!
