    Jeremiah’s experience with the Rechabites shaped his message on fatherhood and guidance. We need to renew our commitment to parenting and to responding to parental guidance.

    I guess every teenager grapples with who he is. For me, a 17-year-old, away from home and “on my own” at college, I was ever so much “smarter” than I am today and certainly “much smarter” than my own father who had attended college and seminary on a “catch as catch can” basis and had no degree to ...read more

    Regardez et priez « Puis Il est venu aux disciples et les a trouvés endormis, et dit à Pierre: « Quoi! Tu ne pourrais pas regarder avec moi une heure ? Regardez et priez, de peur d’entrer dans la tentation. L’esprit est en effet disposé, mais la chair est ...read more

     | 2,433 views

    Peter calls on the Christians in his day to have hope much like Martin Luther King Jr. did in his day. Peter says, “I command you to be hopeful though you are suffering greatly.”
