A Trusted and Helpful Guide To the Bible
One of the best things I have ever done is to get into the habit of reading through the entire Bible every year—or almost every year, at least.

The Hard Work Is Done—Family Bible Study Is Fun
We plant the seeds of the gospel through rich, Christ-centered family worship. We water them with our prayers. But only God can cause those seeds to grow—and isn’t it a relief that this part is not up to us? God calls us to faithfully pass on the gospel to our kids and reserves the saving…
