7 Biblical Principles That Will Change The Way You See Education

7 Biblical Principles That Will Change The Way You See Education

Education is a hot button topic these days, with new reports coming out nearly every day about the violence going on in schools, as well as the controversial things being taught there. More and more parents are pulling their kids out of public school to homeschool them. Nearly everyone agrees there is a major problem with America's education system, but aren't sure how to go about fixing it. But maybe it doesn't work because it was broken to begin with.  Since the word "school" isn't specifically mentioned in Scripture, we tend to think the Word of God is silent on the subject of education. The Bible doesn't mention "credit cards" either, but it is full of warnings not to borrow money! These principles must be followed if you want to ... Read More...

3 Important Things You Can Learn About Parenting From Deuteronomy

3 Important Things You Can Learn About Parenting From Deuteronomy

It was the beginning of a long week after a particularly emotional, stressful weekend. I wasn't exactly looking forward to dying to self that day and teaching my children spelling, math or reading. In fact I was feeling a little bit more like, "I deserve a break!" My son began struggling with a math problem that he didn't understand, and instead of patiently explaining it to him, I opened the teacher's guide to the page with the answers and slammed it down on the table in front of him. Immediately convicted of the way I had acted, I apologized and gave him a hug. Then I softened my tone and walked him through the problem. But my heart still wasn't right. When the kids took their usual snack and play break, I headed to my room to pray. I ... Read More...

6 Parenting Mistakes You Should Avoid

6 Parenting Mistakes You Should Avoid

I've heard it said, "Parenting is like folding a fitted sheet. No one knows how." It can certainly seem that way these days while we're trying to raise well-behaved, respectful, obedient and godly children. We know where we want to end up, but we don't exactly know how to get there. Parenting experts swear by all kinds of tips that actually seem to be making our kids worse. As parents we mean well, but sometimes we're just stuck in a pattern that we can't easily recognize. I've messed up on my own parenting adventure and made mistakes I wasn't even aware of for a long time. I still continue to miss the mark (that's where God's grace comes in), but I've realized over the last decade there were several things I did that were ... Read More...

From the very beginning, I've tried to instill a love of reading in my children. I read books to them all the time when they were babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Some of my best memories are of snuggling up with them on the living room couch with a funny picture book or classic tale. I'm so thrilled that both of them now enjoy reading on their own. With this new stage they're in, however, it has been somewhat challenging to direct them towards good, wholesome books that fill their mind while shaping their character. Many books aimed at ...

5 Pillars of Biblical Parenting

5 Pillars of Biblical Parenting

As Christian parents, we desire to raise faith-filled kids who stand strong for Christ among their secular culture. Along the way though, we end up getting off course. Distracted by other priorities, demands and tasks, we neglect the one thing that ensures we meet this goal: our foundation. The strength of your family is greatly determined by the foundation that you lay and build upon.  A solid biblical foundation requires certain pillars. Fortunately, we don’t have to guess at what those pillars are, or try to figure it all out on our own. God’s Word gives us all that we need to teach and train the hearts of our children, build their faith, and point them to Him. How do you apply God’s word to your parenting and lay a strong ...
