Sometimes skeptics, atheists and even well-meaning Christians say, “why doesn’t God show Himself so that we would have evidence of His existence?” Or, “it’s not fair of God to show Himself to a few faithful people in history but not me so that I could have faith/stronger faith.” Would that REALLY work the way that people think…

This is part of a series for the summer of 2018 on the Family as God Designed. You may have heard it said that the family that plays together stays together but even more importantly, the family that prays together gets to heaven together. Whether we make it to heaven or not can be governed…

What are you doing this summer? Does it emphasize God? Does it include your family? In June, July, and August we will host speakers from across North Texas who will speak on God’s design for the home. God has a plan of how your family works best because He designed it. June 3 This is…

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord  watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. Behold, children are…
