10 Things Your Teens Will Never Tell You

Learn how to be engaged in the battle for authentic communication.

Preparing for the Far East

Jacques's world began to change when he followed some friends into a high school Christian club.

You’ve heard the statement “you are what you eat.” And, physically this is true—your body and health are merely products of what you digest. But rarely do we make the same connection to our spiritual lives. In other words, “you are what you listen to.”

The Pitfalls of Passive Parents

Sometimes we’re tired, or we don’t really know how to deal with an issue. Whatever the reason, passive parenting is disastrous.

Public School Bible Club Sponsors

One of the keys to an effective public school Bible club is your sponsoring teacher. They are your bridge to the students and faculty and your best partner for promoting and sustaining the club.

Many are opting for the “well, God loves us no matter how we dress” approach to Christianity. And of course He does! No one argues that point. But God loves me regardless of how I live too! That’s just not a valid argument when considering “what to wear.”
