Aug 14, 2013 - Aug 15, 2013 Selected Scriptures Every fall, another school year begins. Kindergartners tearfully kiss their parents goodbye. Children are placed back “on schedule.” Teenagers return to homerooms, and the old grind…as college students wave farewell and shout, “Send money!” Character Counts: Building a Life That Pleases God read more

Aug 9, 2013 - Aug 13, 2013 Selected Scriptures Too often, we receive solid, biblical teaching but do not take it with us. We read meaningful books, but they do not affect our lives. We hear a profound statement from a wise counsellor, but it quickly fades into the background. How does the truth become more than just an abstract thought? How can it seep into our lives and become part of us, part of our very essence? The person of character is one who both knows the truth and can apply it to the circumstances life brings. But how does one make the transition from head to heart? Character Counts: Building a Life That Pleases God read more

Aug 6, 2013 - Aug 8, 2013 Selected Scriptures The world can be a dangerous place for fathers. Temptation lurks around every corner. Instability threatens to knock them off balance and send them plummeting into darkness. We've become accommodated to a new idea of fatherhood in contemporary culture—a vision that is defined more by a father's absence and distance than by his engaged and vibrant presence in the home. Fathers have too often been caught up in the malaise of day-to-day living. Tired from the long hours at the office, they have little resistance to several temptations common to dads.

Aug 1, 2013 - Aug 5, 2013 Selected Scriptures Fathers get a bad rap these days. Some aren't there enough. Some didn't provide enough. Others aren't strong enough. The list seems to go on and on. But when we come to the Proverbs, we find a markedly different picture. Fathers are mentioned at least 26 times in this famous book of wisdom, and interestingly, each time it's a positive reference. Solomon doesn't berate dads and their failures but looks for opportunities to laud their significance in who they are and how they relate to their families. In times like these, we need a vote in favour of fatherhood. Character Counts: Building a Life That Pleases God

Jul 29, 2013 - Jul 31, 2013 Proverbs 31:10-31 Today's woman faces greater pressures than ever. The options open to her continue to increase, whether it be in education, social standing, or employment opportunities. But more choices result in more avenues of temptation.

Jul 25, 2013 - Jul 26, 2013 Selected Scriptures It is doubtful there is a tougher role to fill today than that of the Christian woman who desires to walk with God. The tightrope is most precarious, stretched high above numerous perils, with dangerous gusts of wind from the world pushing her off balance. Advice comes from every source, some of it strong and convincing. And then there are those undeniable feelings within that shout (and occasionally scream) for attention and satisfaction…not all of them wrong or bad, but many of them unfulfilled. What's a woman to do? Become a balanced woman of God. Character Counts: Building a Life That Pleases God
