Proverbs 22:6 says it best: “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” If you want ideas on how to bring your children or grandchildren into or strengthen their relationship with Jesus, read on.
I still remember the first time I used a GPS years ago. It was incredible. No more folding paper maps, guessing at exits, or stopping at gas stations to ask for directions. All I had to do was type in the address, and instantly it showed me the best way to get there. Even when I made a wrong turn, it would calmly say, “Recalculating…” and guide me back on track.
That experience got me thinking: walking with God is a lot like using a GPS.
Every Christian has been called by Jesus to go out into the world and share His love and His Word. Most of the time, we think of this as happening in church services, mission trips, or one-on-one conversations. But what if one of the best opportunities comes on a night when kids are literally knocking on your door?
That’s what happens every Halloween. Children come dressed up, smiling, and eager for a gift. They expect candy, but as Christians, we have a chance to give them something even greater.
I know I may get some pushback on this post as a few of you have told me that AI is of the Devil, but for the rest I think you will be amazed at ho...
When Jesus declared in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” He made one of the most di...
We live in a world full of uncertainty. Jobs come and go, health can change overnight, relationships face trials, and the news seems to carry more bad headlines than good. Yet the Bible says we can have joy—real joy—no matter what is happening around us.
This doesn’t mean putting on a fake smile and pretending everything is fine. It means finding a happiness that’s deeper than circumstances, rooted in something (or rather Someone) that never changes.

This week, I had the opportunity to help teach our 1st through 5th graders the Lord’s Prayer. As I spend time preparing and thinking about a lesson it always seems like I learn more than the kids. Today was no exception.
As I prepared the lesson, I realized that while there are countless resources for helping kids memorize the Lord’s Prayer, there’s very little to help them actually understand what it means.
That got me thinking: Did Jesus want us to just memorize these words—or did He give us this prayer as a blueprint for our relationship with God?
Growing up in the Methodist Church I heard John Wesley's advice for years. I wish I had followed it closer when I was younger. If you are reading this and are young, carefully consider this advice. It will change your life.
“Gain all you can, save all you can, give all you can.”
It’s simple, practical, and deeply spiritual.
ChatGPT is like having an on-demand Bible commentary, one you can access anytime with just a few keystrokes. If I’m reading a verse and something doesn’t quite make sense, I just type it into ChatGPT. Within seconds, it gives me background, historical context, cross-references, and interpretations from various perspectives—much like a Bible commentary would.
I've been changing my mind on rest. I used to think the more I could get done the better. After all are we not told to not waste our life? But I no longer think that is how God sees it. From the very beginning, rest was built into the rhythm of life. It’s not optional. It’s essential.
