From Jim’s heart: Some time ago I was told the story of a high-level official in a foreign government who enrolled his son in a college in America.

Wisdom and knowledge don’t come without effort. A big part of that effort involves reading. Here’s something to think about: If you don’t see reading as important, then your children probably won’t either.

The Holy Spirit does not automatically seal your mouth so you don’t overeat-or so you don’t yell at your children. But He will prompt you! God will gently lead you as you read, study, pray, and try to apply God’s Word to every area of life. For example, Proverbs 17:28 tells us that even fools are considered wise and […]

I am a part of a men’s Saturday morning Bible study at my church. The study started at 7:00 am, so I have to leave home at 6:30 to get there on time. Each Saturday as I drive to the church, my route takes me by a golf course that was filled with men playing golf and a lineup of carts waiting to […]
