3 Great Secrets To Raising Faithful and Godly Kids
I had one of those days recently where I was constantly frustrated by my children's behavior. You know, where you expect your kids not to act like kids? I couldn't figure out why, at the ages of 10 and 7, they hadn't overcome certain character flaws that I- a woman in her forties- still has difficulty with. Then, I slipped into this line of thinking: "Hey, I homeschool. Where are these stinkin' attitudes coming from??" In this day and age, it's important and necessary to protect our children from worldly influences so their faith has the best chance of taking root.

For the last several years, our morning routine has consisted of our kids having their own quiet time for about 15 minutes, followed by breakfast and a devotional.

Ryle once said, "But if you love your children, let the simple Bible be everything in the training of their souls and let all other books take second place." While they shouldn’t take the place of ... Read More...
5 Ways For Moms To Fulfill The Great Commission
As moms, we often forget that fulfilling the Great Commission is not merely about going off to foreign lands to reach other people groups for Christ. If we are being faithful- right where God has placed us- to share His Word with those in our particular circle of influence, then we are pleasing God and already fulfilling the Great Commission! The Great Commission itself is simply about proclaiming God's truth to the people around us. It's about serving them in His name, discipling them along the way. It is just as possible for a stay-at-home mom to spread the Gospel as it is for the missionary in the jungles of Africa. There is a difference, however, between knowing this to be true and knowing how to live it out in a practical way ... Read More...
