Expose Our Children to Evil

Our children need to see the effects of sin and evil, and what happens when it consumes a person’s heart. As we come closer to the Presidential election, there is much discussion about our national security and protecting ourselves from terrorists.  That makes me think back on our trip to New York city, about a year […]

All Lives Matter

Teach Your Children That All Lives Matter This wasn’t what I had planned to blog about this week, but it seemed appropriate with the assassinations of Dallas policemen. If you have paid any attention to the media or been on social media the past two days, you know about the shootings of Dallas police officers.  For those […]

Expose Your Failures

As Christians, we tend to have the mistaken belief that we have to appear perfect to our children, and act like we have it all together.  We also act like we did no wrong when we were their age. Growing up, I didn’t know much about my parent’s past mistakes.  I guess I didn’t think about it much, and […]

Not Your Buddy

It seems more and more that fathers are overly concerned about befriending their sons, rather than being the father God desires them to be. It is good to have fun with your children, and to play with them.  Spending time together reaffirms to your children that you care for them, and that you love them.  Someone wise […]

Love Is a Decision… Not a Feeling

I think it is important to teach our children about love.  We all love our children, and they can tell we love them, but are we really teaching them what true love is? I remember back when my wife and I got married.  The wedding vows were said, but I didn’t grasp what they really meant […]

Parenting Toward the 30% – Arguing in front of your kids

Our parents did it to us, and so we did it to our child.  You know, when you acted up, your parents used to count “One… Two… Three…”   You knew that you had better shape up before they got to three, or you were going to face the consequences. At an early age, we trained our […]

Parenting Toward the 30% – Divorce is Not an Option!

You’re probably saying, “Ken, why the heck are you blogging about divorce on Easter Sunday?”  Well by the end of this article, you’ll know why.  But first I have to get personal, and tell you about the difficulties my wife, Karen, and I had when we were first married. You see our first few years […]

Parenting Toward the 30% – Parent’s Faith Effects Child’s

Trying to lead your children in “the way they should go” as Proverbs 22:6 says, starts with the parents.  Children will observe their parents faith, and determine how real it is, and if it is authentic or not. In over 23 years in student ministry, a lot of examples come to mind.  One were Parents […]
