No Man is Above The Law
Do you know who I am? I am the electrician in this plant; I have been for 32 years. I don’t need you to tell me how to do my job. I know what I am doing. Now, you get out of my way, go stand by your machine operator and I will have you back to work in few minutes . . .
Easy Street
Christians are not immune to adopting the Easy Street philosophy. The vast majority of us desire (and subconsciously expect?) to live problem-free lives. I mean if we walk with God, He should certainly keep His dear children from ever skinning a knee or any difficulties, right?
Big Feelings, Bigger God – Discovering God’s Care in Good times and Bad
With Big Feelings, Bigger God, give your kids and grandkids the tools to navigate their emotions in healthy ways in an increasingly complex world.
Christian Fathers and Sons
God gave us the template for fatherhood. It is a fatherhood of stability and order, nurture, tenderness and support, a love for one’s children that lifts them up to find the meaning and purpose for which God created them . . .
How Do Parents Avoid The Extremes of Isolation and Interference?
How do we as parents maintain a healthy involvement and interest in their lives while they assert their independence? Where are we most comfortable on the continuum between total isolation on one end and total interference on the other end (both of which are not good)?

Transformational Trials
No matter what we are going through, it doesn’t have to be discouraging. Trials no longer need to send us to the dungeon of despair, or the swamp of sadness. Trials no longer need to send us spiraling into hopelessness . . . There is hope . . .
The Consequences of Ignoring God: God’s Way, Your Way, and Your Crushed Spirit
Proverbs 28:1 says, “The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion.” Why is that do you think? Why do the wicked flee when no one is pursuing?
Especially for Grandmothers on Mother’s Day
Are you passing on the values and faith by which you have established your walk with Christ? Grandparents have a crucial role to fill in teaching, guiding, and setting an example if faith is to be found on earth when Jesus comes back for his own . . .
HAPPY “YOUR MOTHER!”‘s DAY
Children are a blessing from God! We are thankful for their love and especially their humor. Derek shares one humorous moment when, discussing Mother’s Day, his grandson brought a smile and a laugh to everyone’s face.
Samuel and Hannah: A Great Man, A Great Mother
When considering the great men and women of the Bible, it is unfortunate that Samuel is not as highly regarded as other biblical luminaries. We have Hannah, Samuel’s mother, to thank for surrendering her precious and long-awaited son to God’s service
National Day of Prayer for America
Stop what you are doing today and take a few minutes to pray for
