Simple Ideas for Cultivating Family Worship

By

One of my daily prayers for my three kids is that God would capture and captivate their hearts. As they grow in faith, I want them to be so overwhelmed by God’s torrential grace that they respond with lives of torrential praise. I’m guessing that I’m not the only parent who is praying this for his kids.

How can we as parents cultivate this heart of worship in our…

Hiding in Plain Sight

A ring of keys swung from her hip, and I could hear her clinking down the hall long before she came into view. Her name was Ida, and she was the geriatric security guard employed by my high school to police the front doors.

Encouraging Your Teen To Grow in their Faith {Giveaway!}

Growing up in a Christian church I heard over and over again about the importance of spending time with God. I was told it was crucial to read my Bible and get in The Word. But as a young girl, I really didn’t know what that meant. I was only told to get up early in the morning to read my Bible. I tried. I thought it was boring.
