Ministry can take its toll on kids, especially if parents are so involved in their work they don’t take vacations or spend daily and weekly quality time as a family.

Repentance and Humility

James 4:10 Lord, we have wandered far from You. We have placed our own pain, fear, pride, selfishness, doubt, anger, judgment, lust and so much more above the simplicity of surrendering to You and letting Your Spirit guide our thoughts and actions.

Shielding Our Children

In these days of intense pressure from peers, social media, movies, teachers, and even some professed Christians seeking to influence our children to be other than who God created them to be, we must be all the more diligent in prayer and in training them up to be Christ’s.

In fact, atContinue reading “Family Unity for Ministers”

In addition, many children growContinue reading “Pray for the Innocent”
