Four Kinds of Hearts

Have you ever found yourself asking your child, “Why’d you do that?”

As parents, we often think of our kids’ behavior as being good or bad – but it’s not that simple. And asking “Why?” is actually a really good question, because their answer will show you their heart.

So check out my video above to learn about the Four Kinds of Hearts – and how understanding your children’s heart can help you love them and bring out their best behavior.

Are you a harsh husband?

Colossians 3:18 commands husbands to be loving, not harsh, with their wives.

Think of your relationship like a bank account: every word of love and encouragement is a deposit. Every shout, harsh word or criticism is a withdrawal.

Some husbands run out of credit and don’t even realize it. So watch my video to find out 10 ways husbands can be harsh to their wives – and how to avoid those traps.

Colossians #10 – Enjoy Your Family

What does God expect of Christian parents and their children? In this incredibly practical sermon, we explore in great detail what it means for children to obey their parents, and parents to lovingly lead their children toward God’s best for them. This sermon will help you consider how you were raised, and help you correct errors in how you may be raising your children. And, it will give hope to imperfect parents as even Jesus was raised by imperfect parents but turned out just fine.

How do you Honor Bad Parents?

Many struggle with the fifth commandment, which says, “Honor your father and mother.” (Exodus 20:12)

There are some people who barely know their parents. Others have painful relationships them. So how does a person honor a mother or father who has wronged them?

Maybe, the key lies in grace and forgiveness.

In the video above, I examine this commandment and talk about ways to honor abusive, absent, or simply bad parents.
