How To Train Your Kid!
• 0 Comments
There are times when your kids will start asking questions. They turn into rapid fire machines it would seem and are able to ask questions faster than you can answer.

“When I get the time son…” or “Let’s go guys…I don’t have a lot of time…” or “I got a time schedule going here, let’s move it…” Are these the phrases that your kids hear from you? Dad are the kids constantly fighting for your time, are you are fighting for your time and your wife is fighting for your time?

The Next Generation
One generation will declare Your works to the next
and will proclaim Your mighty acts.
Psalms 145:4 HCSB
This past Sunday I had the privilege of being able to step into the pulpit of my home church during the 11:00 service and deliver a message that God has laid upon my heart for a long time now.

I had to break the sermon into two parts due to the length of the podcast. Part one is available and should be listened to first.

Dad, when you survey your surroundings within your domain, are you a king or commoner? The difference between the two is vast yet so very short at the same time. To be a king one must have subjects who are loyal to him, listen and willing obey his laws, and will fight for him at…

Hey dads, what do you do to “Get Set”? Well I guess it would depend on what exactly you were going to do, would it not? I mean if you were getting ready to go snow ski, I don’t think you would get the sun tan lotion out and put on a swim suit and…

My son had already accepted Jesus as his personal Savior a few months back, but was a bit scared about the whole baptism thing. He did not want to go up in front of all the people of the church and have them looking at him. However this past December,
Getting Squeezed?

Most guys live with a great amount of stress all bottled up within them on a daily basis. We think about the house payment, car payment, insurance issues, getting braces, kids being sick, keeping the house warm, not choking a co-worker, and life events.
