The Blessing--How to Transform Your Home, Church and Community

Christian young people are at risk in a battle for their very minds and souls. To equip them effectively, we must show them that God's Word offers a powerful, life-changing view of the world and for the world.

Passing the Baton of Godly Faithfulness to Your Children
In the Old Testament, we see story after story of bad "baton passes"people with great power, knowledge, influence and wealth followed by generations of spoiled, cruel and godless offspring.
