Learning how to embrace the teachings of God is no easy fete. Sadly, there are many false teachings out there that promise a dramatic transition in the quality of life of those who commit to this spiritual path. The expectations of financial comfort, happiness and even personal peace can lead to gross disappointment if there is no solid investment in studying the true word of God. The Bible states a number of times that those who follow in its many truths will be subject to ridicule, poverty and discomfort in this world, but that there is assured peace, riches and joy in the world toRead More →

I recently got an email from HearItFirst talking about a new kids show that’s trying to get started. It fills a definite gap in the TV landscape for shows for ‘Tweens that provides a little more solid foundation of Biblical principles for kids and families.

Here’s a guest post from someone that shares their experience interacting with a church during a special event, with their pastor and some of their members. I encourage you to read through the entire post and let me know what you think at the end. —– Much to our delight, he came to greet us. He was so friendly that, for a moment, I thought maybe we should attend his church. He was so gregarious and charming.
