Oral Roberts used to use a chorus that some detested, ‘Expect a miracle every day, Expect a miracle when you pray, If you expect it God will find a way, To perform a miracle for you each day.’ - Expectations may be high and in the right place but there are still times of waiting for His answer!

"Briefly stated, the Talmud (Kiddushin 29a) states that a father is obligated regarding his son to circumcise him, redeem him (if he is a first-born), teach him Torah, marry him off, and teach him a trade. Some add an obligation to teach him how to swim. A father is further obligated to support

Dr. Jess Moody once wrote with biting sarcasm,
"What do aged atheists have to talk about, as they sit around waiting to die? Do they discuss the legacy of morality, decency, integrity, and spiritual sensitivity they have given to their children? Or the good atheism has done the world: the

The Lord has more need of our weakness than of our strength: our strength is often His rival; our weakness, His servant, drawing on His resources, and showing forth His glory. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity; man’s security is Satan’s opportunity. God’s way is not to take His children out

When Their Lives Are Spiritually Frigid
As a musician was tuning his instrument prior to a concert, he held it for a few seconds before a flaming fireplace. Asked why he did this, he replied, “I can’t seem to get any music out of it when it’s cold.” In a similar way, God’s children cannot produce

TOO LATE
On his birthday, my husband was stuck driving our six rambunctious children around. As usual, they were yelling, punching, and annoying one another. Joel finally had had enough.

SIN OF OMISSION
We see sad events transpiring today: Mothers smothering children and fathers shaking babies. But if one did not do this and if they said, "I didn’t strike the baby, I just never fed the baby, I never changed a diaper. I never placed a warm blanket over the baby. I didn’t DO

BABYSITTER CONFESSION
"The one thing I’ve never admitted to any baby-sitter, because I’ve barely admitted it to myself, is that I don’t want her to be everything to my children that I am. I want her to be more than I am and everything I am not. I want her to be consistently cheerful and

“The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.” Let me repeat just a portion here:
“Oh Children,” said the Lion, “I feel my strength coming back to me. Oh, children, catch me if you can!” He stood still for a second, his eyes very bright, his limbs quivering, lashing himself with his tail. Then he
