Is Jesus Your Teacher? Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2004

If a fully trained student is like his teacher, we need to seriously consider who we allow to hold that position in our life and in our children’s lives.

Rare Words Yield Worthless Children

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 1, 2009

Eli’s two sons were counted "worthless", and the fault can be traced to "the word of the Lord was rare in those days". Eli did not connect "church" and home for them. We must teach our children Biblical truth or face the consequences.
