Like all of the character traits Jesus embodied, generosity is a matter of the heart. The Pharisees, a sect of religious leaders in Jesus’ day, made a great show of giving to the needy, both in the synagogues and on the streets. They thought this proved how righteous and spiritual they were. However, Jesus taught […]

As a new Christian and young mother, I chose Proverbs 22:6 as a guiding scripture for raising my children. This admonition says parents are to “train a child in the way he should, go and they will not depart from it.” A decade later, however, my parenting didn’t seem to be working the way I […]

Can you imagine not having cell service? For most people, this would be the world’s greatest nightmare. It would be like solitary confinement in a prison cell with four walls and no windows. It’s almost too horrible to think about. But, that’s exactly what Elizabeth and I face every time we drive up to our […]

The task of raising a child is daunting to say the least. You may feel inadequate to face the responsibility of guiding your children into the knowledge of God. I definitely felt this way.
