2. The Head Of The House
Contributed on Dec 18, 2006
I believe that America’s number one social problem today is with husbands and fathers. If we ran our businesses like we lead our homes, the economy would collapse! There is a crisis of leadership in our homes.
The Head of the House Men, brace yourselves! You’re my target today. I’m going to talk primarily to husbands and fathers in this message. Wives, you can prepare your elbows. Go ahead, move a little closer to him so you can really dig in if I happen to make a point you think needs to be ...read more

How to be the best son or daughter in the world Today I’m talking to children in the Christian family, but that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook if you’re over 21!

5. Parenting - A Calling That Is Not For Cowards
Contributed on Dec 18, 2006
Be a great Parent! It does not require that you spend $thousands, go exotic places, or do wild things. But it demands lots of wisdom (which God freely provides to those who ask Him for it), great courage, and tons of stamina. Take these three w
Parenting - a calling that is not for cowards Parents - I want to talk to you this morning. I feel a little like the man who reportedly said, “Before I was married I had three theories about raising children. Now I have three children and no theories.” Ever feel that way? More times than I ...read more

6. Superglue For Your Marriage
Contributed on Dec 18, 2006
Imagine a marriage where both husband and wife are soaking in God’s love and then expressing the love they’re receiving back into their home! That’s super-glue!.
Superglue for your Marriage One of the parts of my calling I enjoy most are the sessions with young couples who are preparing for marriage. Their love is contagious. They speak in glowing terms about each other, as though they have found the perfect person. Very few think that their marriage ...read more
