Children don’t just get their spiritual guidance from Scripture; they get it as their eyes observe the ways of their parents. When your children trust you enough to give you their hearts, they will follow your example.

Randy Alcorn is interviewed by Steve Keels at Good Shepherd Community church and talks about ways to use his graphic novel Eternity as a tool for evangelism and discipleship. He hopes people of all ages and reading levels will enjoy this book. It has a clear gospel message and confronts the reader with concepts of Heaven, Hell, suffering, grace, generosity and much more! 

Think of Christ as your mentor and your best friend, as well as your Savior and Lord.

When you know Christ, when you saturate yourself in His Word, knowing God’s will naturally follows. It’s not hidden and obscure, it’s clearer than it’s ever been.

Effective role-modeling presupposes close relationships and therefore serves as a protection to both leader and follower.

When we see things clearly, with an eternal perspective, what we value and what we want radically changes.

It is quite amazing how often the term “legalism” comes up when there is a serious discussion about obedience or its result, holiness. 

I highly recommend David Augsburger’s The Freedom of Forgiveness. Also, Philip Yancy’s What’s So Amazing about Grace?, which shows us how God’s forgiveness of us should result in our forgiveness of others. 

If you want to increase your desire for God, then get to know him in a deeper way.
