Teaching Kids Truths vs. Lies

Last updated on: December 18, 2017 at 5:47 pm By Mark Driscoll

When one of our sons was little, he spent the better part of a day in the pool. When he finally got out of the water, the skin on his hands was very wrinkled. One of the other kids in the pool told our son that he had been in the pool so long that he had permanently wrinkled his skin and that for the rest of his life he would have to live with the wrinkles. Our son believed... Read more

7 Tips for Helping Kids Learn the Bible

Last updated on: December 18, 2017 at 5:46 pm By Mark Driscoll

Some of our best parental memories from when our five children were young involve bedtime. We made a habit of having an age-appropriate kids Bible for each child. At bedtime each night, in addition to praying, talking, and sometimes singing together while snuggling up, we would read and discuss Bible stories. As the children got older, they would read to us, as well. As the children grew, we started increasing the depth of our dinner time discussions around a passage... Read more

How can someone who did not grow up in a Christian home become a godly parent?

Last updated on: December 5, 2017 at 2:56 pm By Mark Driscoll

Did you grow up in a godly home? Did your parents love Jesus, one another and you? Was the Bible opened in your home growing up? Did your family pray together and worship together at home and church growing up? The odds are that your answer to these questions is no. If your answer is yes, then you are very blessed with a rare family. For everyone else, we often do not realize how messed up our family is until... Read more

10 Ways to Nurture Your Child’s Soul

Last updated on: December 18, 2017 at 5:45 pm By Mark Driscoll

One of the most mind-bending things we learn as a young child is about our planet and how it orbits around the sun. Can you remember, as a kid, trying to understand the massive concept that without the sun to orbit around, our planet would fly out of position and life on it would end? Your soul is like our planet. Just as our planet constantly orbits around the sun, our soul was created to orbit around God. Apart from... Read more

How Can Christian Parents Help Their Kids Grow Spiritually This Year?

Last updated on: January 3, 2018 at 2:47 pm By Mark Driscoll

New. Christianity is all about what is new. When we become a Christian, we get a new Lord named Jesus, a new Father named God, and a new power through the Holy Spirit. We also get a new nature with new desires, a new eternity in heaven instead of hell, and a new family called the church. Every new year, people in and out of the church become very interested in new beginnings and new healthy habits made possible by... Read more

The Soul of Parenting

Last updated on: December 18, 2017 at 5:45 pm By Mark Driscoll

We tend to spend a lot of time, effort, money, and energy on our outer life. We fret about our physical appearance–how much we weigh, what flaws we have, and what the best angle is for a selfie that makes us look our best online. Our lifetime is spent further fretting over the car we drive, clothes we wear, house we live in, and possessions we own. This is all external stuff. This stuff does not satisfy us, save us,...

4 Kinds of Kids

If you’ve ever looked down into a well, you know how difficult it is to see what lies below. In fact, the only way to know what lies at the bottom of a well is to drop a bucket to the bottom, scoop up whatever’s below, and pull it back to the top so that you can investigate. The Bible says that our hearts, including our children’s’ hearts, are like that. Proverbs 20:5 says, “The purpose in a man’s heart... Read more

Last updated on: December 21, 2017 at 2:02 pm By Mark Driscoll

Theologian R.C. Sproul has recently passed away. Many years ago, I had the honor of sitting down to interview him about theology, his beloved wife, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the fact that he’d never been on the Internet, seen Facebook, or sent an email.
