So, I thought I would just share this with you. Enjoy! The other day my wife had the morning news going while she was enjoying her morning coffee. As I was getting ready for the day, I sat down with her and we went over each other’s schedule.  As we were talking, I couldn’t help noticing that the news covered about…

Discipleship is a mobile moment-to-moment opportunity. It was designed that way. From God’s instructions to parents in the Old Testament to Paul’s instructions to believers in the New Testament—scripture shows us that we all are called to mobile discipleship. But what does mobile discipleship look like?

As teachers and wise parents we are called to teach the message of the Word to all ages of God’s children. Christina Wilson calls us to read and share the Word.

This is my week to blog and I have been thinking a lot about hymns. My godson, Jordan Edwards, a recent journalism graduate, wrote his latest post about the hymn “Wonderful Words of Life.” I hope you enjoy his writing and teach this hymn to your children. Jordan Examines: Wonderful Words of Life I mentioned before that my newfound purpose in life is to show everyone through my own experiences that life may be hard, but it is worth living, something that so many people struggle with every day.
