    Letter To A Teen-Aged Boy

     | 2,098 views

    I composed this letter to my 14-year-old Great-grandson when I felt he was mature enough to understand and appreciate it. It might be something you would consider to send to any boy who you felt was the same way. Notice especially the last shortened stanza.

    This is a letter I wrote to my great-grandson as he was approaching his 14th birthday. If anyone would desire to use it, I believe it would be appropriate for a boy you believe is mature enough to understand and appreciate it.

    The Construction Of A King's Character (1 Samuel 16:14-23)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2024
     | 617 views

    God used solitude, secrecy, sameness, and struggle to shape the character and faith of David for his future role as king of Israel. God can use tools like these to shape anyone who surrenders their life to Him.

    David had just been anointed as the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-13), much to the amazement of his father and brothers. He had been in the fields of Judea tending the family flocks, seemingly consigned like the majority of the populace to live a life of productive ...read more

    The Church is declining in the US for many reasons. These are just a few.

    Why churches are in trouble. 1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

    As believers, we experience complete transformation in salvation, and yet our salvation experience is an on-going process. We are saved wholly of grace, but that does not absolve us from responsibility in our Christian walk.

Clearly, Peter is writing to the church – to those saved by grace and added to the body of Christ. While we are not saved by works of the flesh, service ...read more

    Christians are commanded to demonstrate perfect courtesy toward all people. We are called to speak the truth in love; this means that we are to be gentle and gracious toward those who speak ill of us or who attempt to injure us.
