    There are many parallels between our relationship with our children and God’s relationship with His. We may gain much profit and insight by comparing these two relationships.

    And you fathers, do not provoke your children to anger: rather, bring them up in the training and exhortation of the Lord.(Ephesians 6:4) For this is the love of God -- that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.(1 John 5:3) There are many parallels between ...read more

    IT IS ONE OF THE SUPREME HANDICAPS OF THE CHURCH THAT IN IT THERE ARE SO MANY DISTANT FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST AND SO FEW REAL DISCIPLES. ALL OF THIS SIMPLY DUE TO THE COST INVOLVED WITH DISCIPLESHIP. NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR FOLLOWING JESUS. INSTEAD, TOO MANY JUST ...read more

    To qualify as worship, our corporate religious activities must include sound preaching. To fail to include this vital aspect of worship is to condemn our congregations to an insipid presence in the midst of a hostile world.
