    If the greatest gift a dad can give his children is to love their mother. The greatest gift a man can give his wife is to lead his family. We will examine Proverbs 4 as a pattern for fathers to lead their families.

    Since today is Mothers Day, I thought I would begin with some statistics from Moms on their most difficult moments. These results were taken from a nation wide survey of moms with children under six. The “Worst place to have to change a diaper” 47% said a public restroom with no ...read more

    If we do almost nothing for our children but give them a great marriage, then that counts for more than anything else. But to do that, you have to have guardrails.

    We are in Part Four of Guardrails. Everybody knows what a guardrail is. If you’ve been with us, you know that basically what we’ve done is we’ve taken the idea of a guardrail that we’re familiar with and see every single day, and we’ve come up with a parallel idea as ...read more

    Teaching Our Children The Way To Go. Series

    From the beginning, the family has played a critical role in the outworking of God's purposes on earth. As the fundamental building block of society, it was designed to provide the context for the nurture and training of each succeeding generation.

    The family was also designed to reflect and flesh out spiritual truth. Scripture uses the imagery of the family to speak of our relationship with God in Christ. As believers, we are adopted children in the household of God (Rom. 8:15-17). We are also heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17; Eph. 1:11; 3:6). ...read more
