Requiring obedience from our children can be so tough! I want to be the "nice guy". I want to show God's attributes of mercy and grace. But at the same time, I know that obedience must be taught. After all, salvation is a covenant of obedience. I was greatly encouraged this morning by John Piper… Continue reading Parents, Require Obedience of Your Children Article

Yesterday, I had an epiphany that it… Continue reading Teaching Our Daughters About Biblical Womanhood

How Our Clothing Choices Reflect the Gospel
"God looks at the heart. It doesn't matter what I wear." I have heard this phrase, or a variation of it, time and time again. This statement grieves me. And yet, I realize that it is totally by God's Grace that I no longer have this mindset. I definitely used to feel like the rest… Continue reading How Our Clothing Choices Reflect the Gospel

Thankfulness and the Family
I don't know about you, but I've realized the older I get, the more thankful I become. I hate to say it, but when I was younger, I wasn't very thankful. As a young adult, I felt like I was entitled to just about anything I wanted. I am so thankful that the Lord taught… Continue reading Thankfulness and the Family
The Beauty of Jesus Revealed in the Feasts Study Begins Soon
The way Jesus is foreshadowed in the Biblical feasts is fascinating!

Head Covering as a Form of Protection
For most of my life, I never gave head covering a second thought. I believed it was antiquated, and not at all applicable to today. A few years ago I began to study head covering more thoroughly. At that time, I started to feel like it might be a good idea to wear head coverings… Continue reading Head Covering as a Form of Protection
Caring for our Children Tenderly
