Modern culture has created a mold for today’s fathers and mothers, and too many are allowing themselves to be poured right into it. Fathers are often depicted (because this is what is wanted and expected of them) as incompetent, blundering, brainless idiots, who wouldn’t have a clue how to raise a child even on a video game. That is, of course, if…

After this election is over, after a new President…
There were not many “devo songs” when I was a teenager, so we usually sang the same ones at every devotional. One we always sang was, “Who’s that walkin’ down the road, carryin’ such a heavy load?” When you’re a kid, you sometimes don’t focus enough on the words (especially when you sing the same song repeatedly), but what a wonderful message this…
What kind of preaching do you like to hear? Who is your favorite preacher (if you have such a thing)? What is your favorite kind of sermon? If you are a preacher or an elder, what kinds of sermons are preached the most from your pulpit? More specifically, what topics are dealt with regularly? What topics are dealt with occasionally? What topics…
He has two legitimate birth certificates. One indicates that he was born in 1920, and the other shows 1923. Because of the records from back then, either of them could be right, so he is going with the 1923 one for now. What if you had two birth certificates? Which one would you choose to be the “right one”? Would you want the…
