Parents with Power
Do you ever wish you could make someone do the right thing? Parents often watch their children make bad decisions and feel powerless to do anything about it.

One of the principles we read about in the Bible is this, “Honor your father and mother that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God hath given you (Exodus 20:12).” You know, a lot of us adults make it pretty hard for kids to do that. We need to make it easy for our children to honor us. (Read More)
