3 Ways to Make Every Christmas Unforgettable
With two kids in the house, the excitement in the air can almost be felt. We are just days away from Christmas, and we have done all sorts of things to build the excitement to this day. But for a lot of people, Christmas comes and Christmas goes and there’s not much worth remembering. Being too focused on the presents under the tree, we put our heart in things and not in the relationships that can be built and cherished on a wonderful day like Christmas. With that in mind, here are three things you can do this (and every) Christmas to make it one that is not soon forgotten. Spend…

7 Reasons Why We’ll be in Worship on Christmas Day
It happens every few years. Christmas day falls on a Sunday. Amazingly (and tragically) there are churches that cancel all services on that day or move services to a weeknight. Other congregations decide to only have one worship service or to move the time of services, but they are still meeting on the Lord’s Day to worship the Lord. Still, a lot of families decide that “since it’s Christmas” they do not have to attend services on that day. After all, it’s a day for family and traditions and it only comes once each year. So, many people will stay at home while the church meets. However, barring illness or some other…

A New Look at Discipline
He had come home from a long hard day at work. That was the norm in those days. Men went to a job, often involving exhausting labor. Moms stayed at home and cared for the home and the children. Supper was put on the table when dad got home and everyone, including all of the children, gathered around the table for a meal together. Each child got to tell what had happened in their day, and laughter was plentiful. Children did chores in those days, and those chores often included washing the dishes after the meal was over. This was most definitely before the dishwasher days. On this particular day, Dad and Mom had gone to the…

What to Do When Someone Else Gets What You Wanted
Everyone has had it happen, and it hurts. It is when you worked for something, you put yourself out there, and someone else was chosen for what you wanted. You applied for your dream job…but were passed over. You wanted to get into that graduate school…but you didn’t make the cut. You sought a promotion…but someone else got it. You tried out for the team…and were left to be in the stands instead of on the bench. We know the feeling. It is painful–because we wanted it so much–to be told “no,” or even possibly, “you’re not good enough.” (By the way, as an aside, I have often wondered about the…

Informing, Not Enforcing: Some Thoughts about The Salvation Army
I fully realized that this may be one of my most controversial contributions to A Legacy of Faith. I have no interest in enforcing my practices or the practices of my family on anybody else. I would not presume to do so, even if I thought I had that right. A few weeks ago, while I was out doing some visiting, I drove by the local Salvation Army building. I took the time to stop and take a picture (which is reproduced below). I am doing this for one reason – and one reason only. I believe that there are many good people who donate to and/or buy from this organization without realizing that…

Our 2016 Holiday Gift Guide
In past years, we have released a couple of gift guides that were very random (one year, we even included a toy car-making machine!). This year’s gift guide is meant to be more focused, as most of the ideas listed below are meant to instill the Word of God in the hearts of your family.

You Don’t Have to be Famous to Have True Influence
In the past 9 days, I have spoken at two funerals. The two services were for two ladies who meant a lot to me. One was in Nashville, and the other in Haleyville. It was a high honor to be asked to speak at each of the services, and in reflecting on the lives of these ladies, I was reminded of a powerful principle that every Christian needs to have in mind throughout our life. See, unless you were near to these ladies, you probably would not have known of their passing. Their deaths did not make national news. No radio talk show is going to talk for hours about…
