Last week, Terrie and I celebrated thirty years of marriage. It’s hard to believe that something that seemed too wonderful to be true on our wedding day is even better now!
One of the greatest modern myths is that there are no essential differences between men and women. This is unbiblical, unreasonable, and dangerous to your marriage.
Christian homes are becoming scarce. The once-common model of parenting—in which dad and mom stood and sacrificed together—has been cheaply improvised by a godless culture.
In the multivariable equation of raising good teenagers, one of the things that will create a bond of affection between teen and parent is good memories.
Child training is the most obviously neglected element in raising children today. To be more precise, intentional and purposeful training is the most neglected element. The truth is every day through every social interaction with our children, we are training them in ways good or bad. By what we allow and or do not allow, we are conditioning and building habits and character traits into the lives of our children. The question is not if we are training, but how we are training. Sometimes, the question may even be: Who is training who?
I believe it is the goal and desire of every Christian parent to raise children who will love the Lord, the church, and mom and dad. Certainly this is no easy task and requires much prayer, grace, and deliberate effort.
For the past 21 years, it has been the joy of my life to be married to my wife, Teri. Together, the Lord has blessed us with seven children and years of wonderful memories and experiences.
I am the proud father of four beautiful children. I am in the beginning stages of parenting and praying that God will give wisdom as my wife and I seek to rear our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We truly desire to build a household of faith!
Just as there are enemies of our country plotting and planning ways to hurt U.S. citizens, so your family has an enemy who is skilled at destroying young lives, breaking apart marriages, and devastating the hearts of fathers through temptation and trials.
While you may not be dealing with an emergency in your family it is still imperative that we establish a consistent schedule to prevent “casualties” in your home. What is it that sets a successful family apart?
