Don’t Lie to Your Children
My family had a wonderful Monday evening last week. We went to a gospel meeting. I appreciate Tom Stafford for inviting me to come to Buffalo Valley to hear Dwight Fuqua preach on “Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.” The kids behaved very well and we enjoyed a spiritually driven night that we all needed. I am looking forward to other opportunities this summer to take my family to a VBS or a gospel meeting in our area – it is nice when you don’t have the next morning of school staring you in the face – you have more time in the evenings for…

How Not to Get Involved
I recently visited a website that I’ve never visited before and don’t plan to visit again. It was the website for Planned Parenthood. For those who may be uninformed, Planned Parenthood supports, performs, and receives generous financial support for aborting infants. According to Planned Parenthood’s annual report for the 2012-2013, they performed 327,166 abortions. Their total revenue for this period of time was a little over $1 billion (yes, that’s a “b”) including $540.6 million from “Government Health Services Grants and Reimbursements.” As I looked at their website, I was especially interested in the tab that was labeled “Get Involved.” Here are the ways they suggested a person could get…

Friday’s Family Friendly Finds {June 27, 2014 edition}
Thank you. Those are the only words I know to say for how you have helped our site get off the ground. We have now been A Legacy of Faith for just over 3 weeks, and the support has been tremendous. For every “like,” “share,” email, comment, or view, thank you. Just to let you know, I’m not sure if there will be a family links post next Friday. It will be July 4, and we will be visiting family.

Winning by Losing
Phil Wilson was a man of integrity. He was most of all kind and generous. He was soft-spoken and respectable. In business he was not only visionary, but he worked hard, always multitasked, and he treated his employees with respect and consideration. In fact, he treated them in such a way as to always tip the scales in their favor. If there was ever a need, he would go the extra mile. Phil Wilson graduated this past week from this earthly life into eternity. I will always have fond memories of his genuine compassion and sincerity as well as his kindness and friendship and support which he expressed to me…

It’s Just Not the Same
Recently, my wife and I were away from our church family for two consecutive Sundays. In fact, we were unable be with any other people “…who have obtained like precious faith with us…” (2 Peter 1:1). We were sure that this would be the case on the first Sunday and thought that it might be the case on the second Sunday. For that reason, we had prepared for that eventuality. At least we thought we had prepared. We had made arrangements to do all that we normally do on the Lord’s day. We took with us what was needed to remember His death as we ate the unleavened bread and…

Dirty Laundry, Social Media, and Evangelism
Social media can be a wonderful gift. It provides us with ways to connect with friends, share great ideas, encourage people around the world, and get information out to a wide range of people in a short amount of time. On the other hand… Social media can be a horrible curse. It provides us with ways to disparage the character of others, spread falsehood and rumors, further the growth of smut and filth, and damage our own reputation in a matter of moments. Over the years, I have tried to use the social media world for good. Especially through Facebook and Twitter, I have been honored to connect with lots…
