Helping Children To Know God

Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 10, 2015

Children need to know God's Truth; they can't simply take on their parent's beliefs, but need to understand and receive the truth of God on their own. Parents have a responsibility to guide children in the way they're to go.

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Sep 25, 2012

The Remedy For An Unsatisfied Life

Contributed by James Snyder on Apr 11, 2016

The abundant Christian life cannot be taken for granted, but must be intentional. The key to the abundant Christian life is a radical focus on Jesus Christ.

The focus today is on the Christian. The whole book of Song of Solomon deals with the Bride of Christ. Nothing in this book has anything at all to do with the non-Christian. Applying anything in this book to the non-Christian is completely wrong. As a Christian, God has things to say to me that the ...read more
