    The story of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion did not end on Friday. It did not end in death. Because it was early on Sunday morning – the very first day of the week – Jesus rose from the dead.

    Jeremiah's Living Sermon On Fatherhood

    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,051 views

    Jeremiah’s experience with the Rechabites shaped his message on fatherhood and guidance. We need to renew our commitment to parenting and to responding to parental guidance.

    I guess every teenager grapples with who he is. For me, a 17-year-old, away from home and “on my own” at college, I was ever so much “smarter” than I am today and certainly “much smarter” than my own father who had attended college and seminary on a “catch as catch can” basis and had no degree to ...read more

     | 1,429 views

    Every parent knows the frustrations of working with children that cannot seem to recognize the need for some obvious guidance.

    For example, it seems sensible enough to us adults that we should sit down with a child and explain to that child that if he associates with bad company he is going to get into trouble, and that child should avoid bad company like the plague. But, it does not always work that way. You can tell ...read more

    Someone said, "Most men blame all accidents on fate - but feels personal responsibility when he makes a hole-in-one on the golf course."

    It is absolutely amazing how and when we use that word, "responsibility." Illus: That word used to be used when a child was attending school.
