Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 28, 2025

This Mother’s Day I am reminded of Jochebed, the mother of Moses, who exemplifies the meaning of parenting and God’s special role for mothers (parents) in their upbringing. God has a plan for children and has given parents to help them along this path.

The Parable Of The Sower, The Seed And The Soils

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 28, 2005
