Training. Equipping. Arming. Aiming.
Training. Equipping. Arming. Aiming. These are words that come to my mind as I think about my children – both my own 3 precious children and those whose time and moldable minds are entrusted to me at different times during the week. In particular, this concept came to mind this week after our Sunday afternoon Bible Bowl practice. This year, the organizers of the annual Bible Bowl held in Cookeville chose the Old Testament book of Leviticus for us to study. They limited the chapters we are studying to make it age appropriate for even our youngest “bowlers” but there is still a lot of meat (pun intended) in this…

Resource: Advanced Bible Reader from Apologetics Press
It is now the middle of summer. The heat is causing your kids to want to stay indoors all the time, and it feels like the beginning of school is never going to get here.

Your Day Has Not Been Wasted
…if you have reached out to someone with the Gospel of Jesus, the only message that can save their soul. …if you have encouraged someone who is downtrodden. …if you have been faithful to your spouse and shown that you would marry him or her all over again. …if you have told your children you love them and spent time pouring into their lives. …if you have drunk deeply from the Word of God and drawn ever closer to Him.
