Our success in matters of this life will always depend on whether or not we will completely submit our will to the will of God, and this is especially true when we consider God’s plan for the family. God has given all members of the family specific instructions on what their part is to play….
Many have claimed that God cannot be a loving and just God while commanding such harsh and violent things to be done in the Old Testament. Some have used the book of Joshua to state their point. God had given the children of Israel commands on numerous occasions to destroy whole nations of people. He…
One of the scariest memories I have of childhood was when my mother or father would say, “go to your room and get ready because you are getting a spanking”. When those words were spoken, it was as if time stood still and the earth stopped spinning. I would go into my room and think…
