(This is a repost from last year, but for those who haven’t read it yet (and/or for those who want to be reminded of this… enjoy!)
While many parents are content with having their children believe in Santa Claus, there are still many other parents who wonder if it is right thing.  This post is meant [...]

If Jesus’ body was still lying lifeless in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea; if we only had Good Friday, but not Easter/Resurrection Sunday; if He never rose from the dead, then…
1. You shouldn’t come to FamilyCamp, because we’ve got nothing to preach that matters (I Corinthians 15:14).
2. The Bible should not be trusted for this life [...]

Since children are supposed to honor their parents (Deuteronomy 5:16; Ephesians 6:1-3); since wives are called to respect their husbands (Ephesians 5:22-24, 33b), since  husbands are commanded to love their wives (Ephesians Ephesians 5:25-33a), and of course, since fathers and mothers are exhorted to love their children (Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21; Titus 2:4), then the question must be asked…, “Why?”.
The easiest [...]

We spend 6 months to a year preparing ourselves to get our driver’s licence. We spend days, weeks, months, and sometimes even years preparing for our wedding day. We spend close to 15 or 20 years or more in school preparing ourselves for our careers.
But the Day of Judgment takes a lifetime of [...]

What do you want to be when you grow up?”
How many times has that question been asked to kids?  The answers you get are often comical.  But when you ask that question to parents about their children, it comes with a little more seriousness.  Of course many parents might get excited about the thought of their [...]

If the LORD is Sovereign (that is, if He is in absolute, complete control over and in everything), which the Bible makes clear that He is, then we should not merely believe it, but delight in it (Him).  For if we see something as true, but not sweet, then we will never truly worship God for [...]

Why do we get mad at others when they mess up?  Why do we judge others with such strictness?  Do we really expect others to be perfect?
Probably the most frequent place anger rears its ugly head is in the family, especially in marriage.  Why did she say that?  Why didn’t he do that?  Why don’t [...]

I have two boys, both sinners.  My older son is 16 months old, which is the age where I am starting to see more and more why I have no power to save his soul.
My boy, like his mother, is sweet and spicy.  There are times he can be super sweet as he gently kisses [...]

Re-Post: Saint Nicholas by Mark Driscoll via theResurgence.com

The larger-than-life myths surrounding Santa Claus actually emanate from the very real person of Saint Nicholas. It is difficult to know the exact details of his life with certainty, as the ancient records are sparse, but the various pieces can be put together as a mosaic of his [...]

Four years ago, my wife and I moved into a new subdivision.  Before we moved in, we were actually praying that God would provide us with non-Christian neighbors to love.  Needless to say, God provided.
