“What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate”
Those of us of a certain age may remember that line from the movie Cool Hand Luke. I’m wondering, though, if it is not more than a memorable line from a movie. I’m wondering if a failure to communicate may be at the heart of many of the marital (and family) problems today. A few years ago, I wrote a book about families entitled God Give Us Christian Homes. I chose the line from the movie as the title of this post as the title of one of the chapters in the book. One part of that chapter dealt with what I consider to be some barriers and/or roadblocks as we try to…

My Mother Spoke at Polishing the Pulpit Last Week
Those of you who know me know that my mother passed from this life in February of 2009. It was right after an epic ice storm that left so much damage in our area. The loss of my mother, even though I knew she was going to a better place, left a huge hole in my life and in my heart. You may be wondering about my mental state when you glance back at the title of this post. I hope you’ll bear with me as I explain. I also hope you will take the lesson and apply it to your life. I was blessed to be asked to teach five lessons for the…

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…
