Godly grandparents have such a powerful impact on the lives of grandchildren that one is not far from the mark to say that the church and the Sunday School, and all other arms of the kingdom of God are supplements to the influence of grandparents.

Among the many things that makes man unique in creation is the presence of, and the influence of, grandparents. F. W.

The Cat's In The Cradle - Father's Day 2020

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 21, 2020

Many of us, as Christians, grow up with a "blind spot" just like the Dad in "The Cat's In The Cradle" song. Are we failing to build spiritual relationships just as the Dad in the song failed to build a real Father-Son relationship?
