This key attribute of God is clearly revealed and illustrated often in Scripture and in the life of His Son Jesus. God’s love and faithfulness are linked together: “Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.”
Grandparenting
Listen To The Children
Derek shares a prime lesson from his grandchildren. When our grands speak, we should listen.
Grace and Peace
Peace is, at best, a byproduct of something else, rather than a practical end in itself; so our focus must be – like our quest for happiness – somewhere else. And that somewhere else is grace.
A Word For Father’s Day – we are the apple of God’s eye
As Dad, life is often understood as a series of struggles, and the role of “dad” is no exception. But this is a struggle we engage gladly, most especially when we take the journey with our Heavenly Father as companion and guide.
Grandfathering – What a Privilege
Talking about our faith with our grandchildren ought to be as natural as breathing. It is difficult for me to divorce my faith in God from any aspect of my life. I don’t want to be obsessive and/or obnoxious with my faith, but I do want to be comfortable weaving it into every arena of my life, including my grandchildren.
Ten Years On – A New Letter From Granddaddy:
This post is one of Derek’s best! He wishes Happy Birthday to his grandson through a letter that tells him how important he is to him, his family, and to the Kingdom of God. Pray that as you read this letter, you will be inspired to write your grands and remind them of “their” importance.
My grandkids inspire me – from Bahrain to Miami!
I want our relationship to the wide world to be right now. Help; respect; belief; a steadying hand; investment in others; hope; promise; courage evidenced in one because of encouragement from the other; self-giving generosity; love in action . . .
When God Works Through The Beauty of A Mother (and Grandmother’s) Love
“Spending the day in worship together, celebrating faith around the communion table, and then doing those all-important photo-shoots, Mother’s Day is always one of those exceptionally beautiful days. But then again it always is a Great Day when we not only celebrate our family, but when we do it in the context of community and living faith.”
God’s Peace When We Need It Most
The power of story and the impact of a photograph both require truth, and there is little truth left when we limit the story to sunshine and rainbows, platitudes, air-brushed skin tones or flattering angles.
How To Share The Resurrection Story With Your Grandchildren
While Easter bunnies and Easter egg hunts are fun, as grandparents there are other fun activities that teach our grandchildren the true meaning of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ . . .
Teaching Faith to our Grandchildren by Living it
Did you know that our grandchildren absorb everything we do and say? When we are aware of this, we begin to realize that we should be prepared to give a gentle answer for why we love Jesus Christ.
Teaching Your Children and Grandchildren To Trust God
So often we are given an opportunity to teach our children, and grandchildren how to trust God. But do we? Andy teaches us through his experience with that teachable moment.
