    “And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” Deut. 6:6-7

    What does it mean to fortify your children with God’s Word? Before we delve into the message, let us first understand what the term “fortifying” means.

    I preached my first sermon from this pulpit on January 19, 1997. It’s been well over a year now, although sometimes it seems much longer because I am so very much at home. But as much as one can think of that as a time of beginning, it was also a time of ending. I expect that only those of you who ...read more

    As children begin their early school years we need to begin teaching in earnest the necessity of salvation and what the Bible has to say concerning right and wrong in order to give them a good foundation for developing godly character.

    Raising Your Kids To Be Followers Of Jesus Rather Than Fans

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 8,769 views

    If you approach the Bible as a book that you have to read, a bunch of rules that you have to memorize, then that is how your kids will approach it, too.

    I read a story recently about three ladies who were sitting around and bragging about their children.

    The plan that God has for our lives will certainly be fulfilled if we honor God and remain faithful to Him and the relationships that He has entrusted to us. When God chooses to lift one up, no man can do anything to stop it.

I went to visit a family, and I casually asked a little girl aged around 8 or 9, ‘What did you learn last ...read more
