We’re about to start our new Busy Mama’s study! During our last study on Proverbs 31 we saw that the valiant wife’s amazing accomplishments were simply the fruit of her fearing the Lord.

Stop Seeing, and Start Observing
Sherlock Holmes is famous for his keen observation skills. He once admonished Watson, who was marveling at his abilities, “You see, but you do not observe.

How can we inspire our children to love God and His Word? What can we do to raise children who will love God and live their lives in joyful obedience to Him — even after they leave our homes? Of course, our most effective tool is prayer. God is the one who does His work in the hearts of our children. But He will use us in the process, and one of […]

Now my own children are just starting to discover the fun of acting out Bible stories! Today we want to launch an exciting event that will inspire you and your […]
