YES, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE A PROBLEM IN CHURCH, TOO
Paul in writing to Titus a letter of pastoral counsel, advised his protégé to teach the Biblical believers in Crete "to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all men."(Titus 3:2 RSV). This teaching has practicality for many of life's situations, and the Biblical home should be the ...
HERE'S A GREAT GIFT!
More and more as I travel and speak to women's groups, all I hear is their stress. "Give me a break!" What does your wife, the mother of you kids need for Mother's Day? A nap! God created for 6 straight days, then on the seventh he rested. Each year in Israel there were approximately 70 days of festivals. With the Sabbaths and celebrations ...
ROSIE'S 'COURAGE' - NOT!
Did you see the March 18 issue of People magazine? It's the one with Rosie O'Donnell on the cover with the headline "Rosie's Brave Step." People magazine is saying that Rosie's decision to come out as a lesbian was a brave decision. I had to laugh at the irony. What's so brave about someone who has been living an open homosexual ...

Everything I taught her, from manners to faith, seems to have sailed through her ears. What in the world do my husband and I do now?

The most important thing you can do for your daughter is to "just get her through it." The concept is a bit obscure, so let me make an effort to explain it. Imagine your daughter riding in a small canoe called "Puberty" on the Adolescent River. She soon comes to a turbulent stretch of white water that rocks her little boat violently. There is a very real danger that she will capsize and drown. Even if she survives today's rapids, she will certainly be caught in swirling currents downstream and plunge over the falls. That is the apprehension harbored by millions of parents with kids bouncing along on the wild river. It's the falls that worry them most. Actually, continued...
