Must Do’s for Dads
If you are a father you are blessed. If you have or have had a godly father you are beyond blessed. Unfortunately, many children are growing up today without a positive spiritual influence from their father. Some do not have any kind of relationship with their physical father at all. Still some fathers, though present in their children’s lives, are too busy spending time in the world to spend time with their families. But I know some GREAT men who deeply love the Lord and who are strong spiritual leaders. These men all have several things in common – things they practice that qualify them as good fathers and teach…

Three Reasons to Trust the Bible
The wise man of old was certainly correct when he wrote, “…of the making of many books there is no end…” (Ecclesiastes 12:12). As I am writing this, I have just looked at a website that purports to keep “up to the minute” figures on how many books have been published. According to it, somewhere in the world, there have been five books published in the last minute — or over 971,000 so far this year. It is interesting to me that one book stands alone — in so many ways. It has long been said that the Bible is the best-selling book of all time. According to the latest…

Friday’s Family-Friendly Finds {June 13, 2014 edition}
Wow. Just wow. Yesterday, we restarted the blog, but did so by introducing you to a full-family project called “A Legacy of Faith.” The response has been overwhelming, and we are humbled by the amount of traffic and social media exposure you helped us generate. As we said yesterday, you’ll start noticing the main difference next week, as you will get posts from Jim Faughn, Jeremiah Tatum, and myself (and maybe someone else, too) during the week. But for now, let us just offer a big “thank you” for helping to make our first day a wonderful day. With that said, on to this week’s family links. This Week’s…

Welcome to “A Legacy of Faith”
After time in prayer, planning, and work, we are thrilled to unveil a dream come true today. Welcome to “A Legacy of Faith.” A Legacy of Faith has as its design bringing together the “Faughn/Tatum crew” to help you and your family do more than just survive today. We want to help you look forward to the future and prepare for eternity. While we have several things planned for the future, this blog will be the main hub for the foreseeable future. Here’s the great part, though: this site will no longer contain my writing only. We are bringing together our entire family to share helpful content with you on…

Friday’s Family Friendly Finds {Pre-Shutdown Edition}
We aren’t going away forever, but our blog is going to be shut down for a few days. I don’t know what time, but at some point tomorrow (May 31), we will shut down the blog to work on something really exciting. We are so thrilled about the changes that are coming, but they will take some focused time, so we need to shut the site down to work “behind the scenes” getting things ready. Our goal is to come back and let you see what we’ve done on Thursday, June 12. I hope you will be back with us then, and we appreciate all the encouragement you give us…

The “Model” Family
They live in the house you wished you owned. They drive the cars that you think are the most stylish. They wear clothes that are hip and always in style. Their kids go to the best schools and (of course) are always at the top of the class. Everyone in town knows them and thinks they are just the perfect family. …or the model family. But they aren’t. (At least, not necessarily.) In my mind, the “model” family may or may not have a trendy lifestyle. They may or may not have a big income and newer possessions. They may or may not have overachieving kids. So, if you don’t…

A Response to Emily Letts : Abortion Sermon Transcript
[NOTE: The following is the full manuscript of a sermon I preached at Lebanon Road yesterday. The sermon got several good and thoughtful comments, so I thought I’d share it on here.] Recently, an online video went viral. That’s not anything unusual these days. It seems that, every couple of days, something makes the rounds online and gains a few hundred thousand views. But quite often, these “viral videos” are nothing more than silliness. Maybe it’s a child singing a song from Frozen, or a cat jumping up and down, or someone failing on a TV game show. But none of those are what we are going to talk about…

Friday’s Family Friendly Finds {May 23, 2014 edition}
Before getting to this week’s family links, we want to let you know that the next few weeks on our site are going to be a bit strange. Next week, we will probably only post 2 or 3 times at the most. Then, on Saturday, May 31, we are going to shut down the blog until June 12. The reason is really cool, and we can’t wait to tell you…but we’re going to wait anyway. We normally try to post 4 or 5 times each week, so we just wanted you to know that the next 3 weeks are going to be different. Now, on to this week’s family links!…

Hey Guys, Let’s Remember Modesty, Too
The weather is getting warmer, and it’s great to see green grass and pretty flowers. Our garden is starting to show signs of life, and the kids in the neighborhood are outside just about all the time. As usual, though, as the weather warms up, more and more clothes come off. Immodesty is a problem, and you don’t have to head to the beach to figure that out. Just take a look around your neighborhood or visit a local park. The lack of modesty in clothing is everywhere. But today, I want to do something that is rarely done. Too often, we make modesty a ladies-only issue. I have written…
