I love this article, 31 Ways to Pray for Your Children, almost as much as I love this prayer book: Praying the Bible for Your Children.
31 Ways to Pray For Your Children
By Tony Snow, who recently passed away
Blessings arrive in unexpected packages – in my case, cancer. Those of us with potentially fatal diseases – and there are millions in America today – find ourselves in the odd position of coping with our mortality while trying to fathom God’s will. Although it would be the height of presumption to declare with confidence […]
Health & Nutrition Guest Interview by Amy O.
We love our neighborhood full of friends who help eachother out and look out for each other’s kids. Amy (& husband, Todd) is one of those neighbors, and she’s got a great story to share about how God led her down the right paths to be healed of some serious health problems. Normally I’d post […]
1. "What makes Christianity different from other religions?"
No credible historians debate whether or not Jesus Christ lived on this earth, they all believe He did. What is debated is whether or not He died and rose from the dead–that part is the biggest difference between Christians and other religions, we are the only ones who claim to have a God who died […]
2. "What is the ‘old testament’ and ‘new testament’ and how do we know any of the Bible is even TRUE?”
The Old Testament is the whole first part of the Bible that includes the time before Jesus came to earth, beginning with God creating the world. The New Testament is the rest of the Bible that includes Jesus’ time on earth, his life and death, and the beginning of Christianity – how it grew in […]
3. "Who are the Father, Son & Holy Spirit?"
“Sometimes I hear Christians refer to God as “Father”, other times they talk about God as Jesus, and then who or what is the Holy Spirit? And which one do you pray TO?” This one used to stump me big time. Here’s the scoop: Christians believe in something called the Trinity – “Tri” = 3. […]
5. "I never said I wanted to live forever…"
But you’ll go somewhere when you die, and if you don’t believe that, then what a depressing thought, you really think this is IT? Do you really think that is possible? What if you’re wrong? Eternity is a long time. I’ll repeat what I said in another post: Don’t miss this… What IF? What if […]
4. "What does it mean that ‘Jesus died for my sins’? and how do we know He really came back to life?”
In the Old Testament (see previous question) a huge part of the whole story of God and His people has to do with how they “atoned” (made up for) their sins by coming once a year to the temple to offer a perfect sacrifice to God. This means they brought the very best of what they […]
6. "But I’m not such a bad person…"
…especially compared to most, only the really rotten people have to worry about where they’re going when they die, right?” Here’s the thing though — we all “sin” (mess up), and yes, some may sin in smaller ways than others, but compared to who? The guy in prison? The person next door? Or compared to […]
7. "What if I want to believe, but I just don’t think I do?"
First of all, PRAY and ASK for the gift of faith! Faith is “believing what we can’t see”, just keep really trying to grow in your faith, and this is how: “Fake it ’til you make it”, or “Act as IF” you are a faithfilled person by doing what those with faith do, such as… […]
