In our family we take a page out of John Bunyan’s classic: Pilgrim’s Progress and yell in response: To The Celestial City…
One of the key ways to love and lead your children, family and others is be pointing them to what truly matters for eternity.
Read MoreWhen teaching children the Bible it can be difficult to keep their attention. This is why using creative object lessons can help them remember key ideas and lessons from the Bible. IMPORTANT: this is not a substitute for reading the Bible with or to them, but this is a fun way to help them learn and feel loved.
Read MoreOur culture and lives move at a frenetic pace. We rush from activity to activity in an endless quest to get more done faster. At times we even rush across the rooms in our homes past the very people that matter most in an attempt to get more done.
Read MoreThe book of Philippians is rightly known as the epistle of joy and it can teach and remind us much during trying times. Here is a brief reminder from chapter 4.
Read MoreThe one that dresses flowers has clothed you in His righteousness. The one that hung the stars hung on a tree. The one that painted skies painted with blood and ridicule from Satan's dustlings.
Read MoreHow do you know that the dust on your Bible is not the remains of some poor ancient soul who too neglected God's word in life.
Read MoreThe Psalms are very popular for good reason. They express a wide range of circumstances, historical events, prophecies and emotions, but most of all they exalt God for His steadfast love!
Read MoreThe importance of praying through the Bible can not be over stated. One of the great blessings of God’s word is its ability to guide and direct our prayers. If you have never considered how to pray or perhaps get discouraged in prayer I highly recommend Donald Whitney’s Book "Praying The Bible”.
Read MoreRecently I asked some adults that I teach the Bible to this question: “Can sad things be good?” Our initial reaction to this is “Of course not!”.
Here are two examples that can help us to better understand this day we call “Good Friday”.
Read MoreAs a culture we love Christmas. But in this short post I want to make a case for the supremacy of Easter. While it is certainly impossible to separate the two events we can not over state the importance of the resurrection. The empty tomb proves that Jesus once for all died to rescue those that will repent and believe in his perfect life, wrath bearing substitution and resurrection.
Read MoreWe love real physical Bibles but by God’s grace there are many tools available to us to understand and learn from God’s Word.
Read MoreWhen RC Sproul was asked if he liked the term Christian he stressed his preference was to be called an Imputationist over evangelical as the ambiguity of the term was not helpful.
Read MoreOne of the constant refrains of God to humanity is: “Get Wisdom”. There are many places to look (ultimately to the cross in repentance and faith first and foremost). But I want to make the case for reading the book of proverbs daily.
Read MoreBible reading and note taking are not always best together. Sometimes there is not enough room in your Bible or you may want to focus on one thing at a time. This is why a tool like Evernote where you can take notes on sermons or books you are reading may be a better option.
Read MoreAs the snow starts to fall and traffic screeches to a halt, it might be the perfect time to read the Bible with your Children. Consider how amazing the Triune God we love is to create seasons for us.
Read MoreWe wanted to post a few pictures of our new color Cognac Brown. It is very nice and should be pretty durable as well! It is quickly becoming a new favorite! What do you think?
Read MoreThe Sadducees were a group that constantly opposed Jesus. They were more concerned with political power and financial success. They also denied the after-life/ resurrection of the dead. This is an eternal mistake.
Read MoreTeaching our children practical wisdom is more important now than perhaps ever before. Wisdom should be treasured above earthly riches when we consider what God has to say:
Read MoreIt is not easy to keep the attention of a 1,3 and 8 year old. Sometimes the best thing you can do is involve them by writing or coloring on something during the lesson.
Read MoreWe are excited to roll out our new color called “Cognac”. We love it and think you will too, but whatever color you choose what matters most is reading, studying, and praying through the Bible.
