Stand Firm For The Family

Anyone here named Eutychus? No? Good. Do y’all know that the Apostle Paul preached so long one night, that a young man who was perched in a window, fell asleep and fell to his death?

Family Services For God

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 11, 2024

Joshua said, “But for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15 NLT) I want to use this opportunity to inspire parents to view God's service as a shared family endeavor.

When a parent is actively involved in God's service, questions may arise about why their children should also be deeply involved. For instance, if one parent is a choir leader, gatekeeper, or priest, and one or two of ...read more
