Children's
Deadline: 06/01/10
Theme: (MUST BE appropriate for 8 to 12 year olds Christians) Respect is a value that we may talk about more than we practice. Paul urged the Christians in Rome to “outdo one another in showing honor” (Romans 12:10 nrsv); another translation reads, “be eager to show respect for one another” (tev). Respect for all persons as created and beloved by God is basic to our faith. Yet we live in a time when mean-spirited sarcasm and contempt are more in evidence than respect... Continue reading ...

Still, we know that God seeks the heart of every individual. How can we nudge our non-believing friends toward the waiting arms of the Savior?
For an upcoming issue of Thriving Family, I’m looking for examples of “soft evangelism.” By “soft” evangelism, I mean times when you and you... Continue reading ...
