Profile picture for user Eric Lee
By Eric Lee, Tuesday, July 11, 2023

The objective of all true educators is to provide learning to students. But the framework in which that takes place in a Christian school is clearly distinctive from its secular counterparts.

By Dr. John Goetsch, Saturday, September 25, 2021
Mentoring Your Child Is Not a Part Time Job
My wife and I had been married about two years when her pastor who had married us asked me to come and preach an eight-day revival meeting. After the last service he pulled me aside and said some nice things about my preaching. His countenance became very serious however and I will never forget his challenge to me.

Is Christian Education Worth the Cost?

Profile picture for user Dr. David Teis
By Dr. David Teis, Monday, May 20, 2019
3 Harmful Aspects of Public Schools
The education of our children is a grave responsibility for every parent. For years, Anna and I have counseled Christian parents to either homeschool their children or to have them in a quality Christian school. I tell people that one of the primary reasons our children are serving the Lord today is because we kept them out of public school and gave them a Christian education.

Closing the Distance Between You and Your Teenager
One of the keys to maintaining a positive and influential relationship with your teenager (or any other person for that matter) is to be aware of and address a wounded spirit. The Bible tells us that a wounded spirit is hard to bear, that strife can separate friends, and that offenses bring with them a hardness of heart. If an offense in our home occurs, just imagine all the damage that can be done.

Communicating Christ's Love to Others
February is the month for expressing love. I am glad there is one day set aside on our calendar to let others know how much they mean to us; yet does expressing our love have to be a “one day” event?

By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, March 5, 2018
You Are Always Teaching Your Children
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. And I’m not just referring to the hazards of stepping on legos in the middle of the night. (Although legos do qualify as a parenting hazard.) But primarily I’m referring to the responsibility parents have to shepherd their children’s hearts toward God.

Memories Must Be Made on Purpose
This is the time of year when we realize how fast time flies! We have so many good intentions that are never accomplished because we don’t “make” them happen. Making memories has to be intentional and purposeful. Life is about moments. Don’t wait for them, create them!

By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, September 11, 2017
Building a Family in the Ministry—Part 1
I remember as a young father hearing stories about pastors’ kids not turning out and being afraid that my children could be among the statistics. I wanted with everything in me to love and nurture my family while at the same time to be faithful to God’s calling on my life for the ministry.

Preparing Your Children for Marriage

By Dr. Tim Cruse, Saturday, September 9, 2017
Successful Marriages Require Preparation
To train means “to narrow,” conveying the thought of marking a clear path for our children by removing the unnecessary and focusing on that of lasting value—setting biblical boundaries (Proverbs 13:6). Many parents unwisely encourage their children to experiment with various philosophies of life.
