Housewives, Superheroes & Easy Believism?
Is God calling you and me to be superheroes? Today in the book of Judges, we will meet two women, both of whom might be called superheroes. What do their stories possibly have to do with us? How is God calling us to be superheroes if He is? #superheroes #faith #soulsurvival
Dealing with Prodigals & Hard Questions for Every Believer
Loving a prodigal can be heartbreaking and confusing. It's hard to know what to do. When should we help? And when should we stay out of the way? Perhaps we should ask ourselves, are we really helping or could we merely be helping them stay comfortable in their pigsty, the very place God wants them to feel uncomfortable, even hungry? #prodigal #parenting #soulsurvival

How to Teach Your Children the Real Meaning of Easter
Helping the next generation understand the basics of the Christian faith, and gain an understanding of sin, redemption, the gospel, and salvation is so important. We must find time to teach our children and help them develop their own faith and devotional habits. Why not take some time with your family to read about the events leading up to that first Easter Sunday? Perhaps today’s post can serve as a starting point. #Easter #parenting #biblestudy #soulsurvival
10 Steps to Parenting God's Way
God's Word has so much to say about parenting. In fact, the Bible is full of God's instructions, encouragement, and truth for His own children.

Christian Parenting & Discipline in a Secular World
I talked to a young mom recently about Christian parenting. She is struggling with a strong-willed child and looking for some answers. When I began sharing biblical principles, she told me, it's a different world today where parenting is concerned. What did she mean? Should parents today ignore parts of the Bible's instructions on parenting? If not, how can we be obedient to Scripture and, yet, wise in the world in which we live? #parenting #soulsurvival
Are You Setting Your Children Up for Failure?
It's hard to imagine that anyone would intentionally set their children up for failure. But sometimes, we can do so without even realizing it by trying to give them everything that makes them happy. When we do, instead of being genuinely happy, they often become petulant, spoiled children. The added danger is that they can grow up to be selfish adults and even get a wrong view of God. #parenting #soulsurvival
Redemption, the Cross & Sarcastic Teenagers
A few years ago as I was reading about the Day of Atonement, the Feast of Booths, and all the animal sacrifices required, I thought about a funny thing that happened years before and how a sarcastic teenager reminded me about the cost of our redemption. #redemption #soulsurvival
Do Your Kids Know You LIKE Them?
I counsel many people who struggle because of words that were spoken to them as children. Certainly, God can use that for good as He helps them find their identity in Him, but how sad when our kids must overcome our parenting, and not remember it with gratitude. How will your kids remember you? Even if they know you love them, do they believe you like them? #parenting #kids #encouragement #soulsurvival

Could You Be a Christian in Name Only?
More than ever before, our nation's airways, print media, internet, classrooms, political arenas, and even living rooms are filled with diverse and opposing views. These aren't minor differences of opinion. They are, at their heart, worldview issues. Yet, Jesus didn't pray for us to be taken out of the world or these discussions. In fact, understanding what God says about these issues should make us first examine our own opinions and then be willing to share the truth with others. #worldview #op

An Excellent Wife or a Rotten One?
The word rotten means something that is decaying or infected. Yet ladies, our Proverbs passage tells us we can be like rottenness to our husbands! But we have a choice. Each of us can, also, choose to be an excellent wife who is like a crown to her husband. We need to ask ourselves, which one describes us? #excellentwife #rottenwife #soulsurvival
