For Children and Families

  • When Ball Becomes Baal
    "'Behold, I say unto you, you have made sports the household god.' Too strong? OK, not all of you. But the deification of sports is happening to many."
  • Comfort for Christian Parents of Unconverted Children
    "All Christian parents wish that God would show us something to do that would secure our child's salvation, and then "we'll do it with all our might" because we love our child so much. Yet, God has not made salvation the effect of somebody else's faith; our son or daughter must come to Christ on his or her own. "
  • A Journey in Search of Comfort as a Christian Parent of Unconverted Children
    "The fixed disposition of a true believer in Jesus Christ simply is not there. And so the search for comfort begins—the journey begins in earnest. "
  • What They Did Before TV
    "It seems almost inconceivable to believe that there was life before television. As good as the medium is for some things, it is an instrument of death to conversation in most families."
  • Christmas: Bah Humbug or Gloria in Excelsis?
    "Today Christmas is almost entirely secularized. It is a merchant's most profitable period as eager shoppers raid their shelves. Can we be any more comfortable with a secular Christmas than the religiously-loaded Christmas the Puritans detested?"
  • Guidelines for Children
    Outline to use with children that details what is included in respectful and obedient behavior.
  • Seriousness In Children and Teens
    "Please don’t make the criteria for judging the success of a church’s efforts at reaching children and teens the fun-value of the meetings. God did not command the church to provide entertainment for your kids."
  • The Heart of Family Reformation
    "Lewis Bayly said, "What the preacher is in the pulpit, the same the Christian householder is in his house." Family worship is the natural outcome of such a view."
  • Childhood Conversion - "Leaders and parents must consider the benefits of returning to a better method of dealing with the souls of our children. To give assurance on the basis of praying a prayer or some other outward, immediate sign is sealing many in deception and makes them harder to reach in their adult years."
  • A Really Funny Gospel for Kids - "My friend touted the act as "soooooo funny." It was. I mean that he was so funny that I could not help but laugh. What should we think about this approach?"
