Christian parents have their greatest call to discipleship right in their own homes. And it seems pretty straightforward. Scripture says, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4).
In other words, don’t be overbearing with your kids, but bring […]

Wisdom is thinking and living according to God’s will and ways. Foolishness is the opposite—thinking and living as if God doesn’t exist and that we aren’t accountable to Him.
The Bible often contrasts wisdom and foolishness. In fact, Jesus concluded His most well-known message, the Sermon on the Mount, with this exhortation:
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on […]

Our country has long commemorated one Sunday in May and in June to honor mothers and fathers. Sadly and tragically, in our day and age of social and familial transformation, mothers are now called “birthing people” (actual term from the Biden administration’s 2022 budget) and fathers are demeaned as weak and unnecessary.

Our country has long commemorated one Sunday in May and in June to honor mothers and fathers. Sadly and tragically, in our day and age of social and familial transformation, mothers are now called “birthing people” (actual term from the Biden administration’s 2022 budget) and fathers are demeaned as weak and unnecessary.

Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and … he said to them, “Why do you do such things, the evil things that I hear from all these people?” … But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the Lord desired to put them to death. 1 Samuel 2 22-25 excerpts

Decisions that lead to a God-glorifying marriage. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
The covenant of marriage is the first human institution that God established. It is the fundamental building block of a stable society. The relational aspect reflects the relationship amongst the Trinity. Marriage is a model of Christ and His bride, the church.
Think marriage is important?
Three decisions make a God-glorifying marriage possible: Will you believe in Christ? Will you pursue […]
Raising children who love and obey God. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
With the abundance of child-rearing resources, it may seem surprising that the New Testament has only one verse that directly addresses the issue.
Ephesians 6:4 says, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”
“Don’t provoke” means don’t be overbearing. “Bring them up” implies a daily, ongoing endeavor. “Discipline” […]
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the Lord. 1 Samuel 2:12
It is a repeating pattern throughout history—God-fearing parents raising children who turn out not to be God-fearing as adults. Consider the ungodliness of the sons of Israel’s high priest, Eli (1 Samuel 2:12) or King David’s son, Absalom. Perhaps you know or have personally experienced […]
For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well. —Paul to Timothy (2 Timothy 1:5)
This Mother’s Day weekend, we are going to discuss how grandmothers (and grandfathers) can do the eternally important work of discipling their grandchildren, even amongst […]

While some would point to income inequality, educational disparities, gun violence, or underfunded government programs as the reasons for the social troubles in America, many Christians see the rejection of God’s prescription for marriage and family as the fundamental cause of many of the ills we are facing.
And specifically within Christian households, the inability of parents to have strong marriages and pass along the faith […]
