Children’s Devo Idea: The Image of God
Last Sunday evening, we were blessed to have the 9th Avenue K-6 kids over to our house for a devotional. I got a couple of ideas for a devotional and took what I hope was the best of them to put together the lesson for the kids. I’d like to share it with you for a devotional idea, or something you may want to do in your family Bible time. For this devotional, you will need: 2 mirrors (one large and one handheld) A picture of a famous person A sheet of thick paper The basic idea behind this devotional is that you are trying to help the children see…

Is the Line “Teen Vogue” Crossed Enough to Wake Parents Up?
In case you missed it, “Teen Vogue” released an article in recent days that many parents found shocking. [Warning: If your kids are around, you might not want them to read any further!] The article’s main title is “Anal Sex: What You Need to Know.” Remember, this was in “Teen Vogue.” Target age? 12-18. Meaning? They are teaching children to do things that are not only immoral but, in many cases, illegal. Not to mention, depraved. The article, subtitled, “How to Do It the RIGHT Way” (all caps in original), teaches your teenagers that this is a perfectly normal way to explore sex, and that they just need to know what to…

Are Fathers Really All That Important?
Is Dad just a joke? Are fathers really needed? Are they important at all? Recently I listened to a podcast that referred to some material I found interesting and challenging. I read the transcript of the podcast. I then read the material to which the podcast referred. Those sources are: The Briefing (a podcast by Dr. Robert Mohler) Poverty, Dropouts, Pregnancy, Suicide: What The Numbers Say About Fatherless Kids (Claudio Sanchez; National Public Radio) While one might expect Dr. Mohler to approach any subject from a religious perspective, one would not expect NPR to do so. That is what I found fascinating. The material produced by them relied heavily on an interview with Alan…

He Looked Down : A Powerful Lesson on Immodesty and Respect
A preaching friend of mine told me a true story about a little boy, and it was a story that stuck with me. He was saying that this young man–probably 5 or 6 years of age–was visiting someone else’s house and they were watching TV. They noticed that the little boy would look down every once in awhile. He wasn’t playing on a phone or tablet. He didn’t have a book in his hands. He just looked down every so often. Finally, they asked this little boy why he kept looking down and the young boy’s response shamed and woke up his friend’s family. He pointed at the television and…
