Christian children are instructed to honour their parents. This is one of the few direct commands to children in the congregation. I fear this command is neglected among the faithful today. The message is a study of what the Apostle wrote.
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honour your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” [1] The last days are described in frightful detail in Paul’s final letter to ...read more

My boss said he wished he could expunge the word “fun” from our students’ working vocabulary. Now knowing what students at our all-boy high school could do outside supervision, I tended to agree.
Joy, Sorrow and “Fun” Some time ago, I listened to a sermon by the local pastor. He told us that the Ten Commandments were given to us by God so that we could all “enjoy” life. I’m sure there are many, even Christians, who would question that. After all, the Commandments are largely a list of ...read more

If there is some sin that your heart keeps clinging to and you’re reluctant to give up, this message will motivate you to repent and will show you how to learn the easy way instead of the hard way (like a mule).
You will learn how to know when you are experiencing God’s rod and what to do when it happens. This message destroys once for all the insanity that says, “I’ve already blown it for today—might as well get it out of my system and start fresh tomorrow.” When you find yourself saying that, ask, ...read more

Instead of spreading gossip, we should have the courage to go directly to the person involved in conflict or sin. We should always choose kindness over gossip.
Hey guys! Ever heard of the Copernican Revolution? It's when people figured out that the sun, not the earth, was the center of the universe. It was a total game-changer. Just like when you realize that your parents should be the center of the family, not you. It's a tough pill to swallow, but it ...read more

God gives us what we value most. If it’s public recognition, we get it. We get God’s approval only if that is what we value.
Our culture admires publicity. People are famous just for being famous. We grow up watching people who command the public eye; we call them stars. They are the people with money, fame, position, power and recognition. They are held up by the media as larger than life, people to be envied. We ...read more
