Help! My Child is Making Bad Choices!
6 04 2011
As parents, we want to pass on good values to our children. We want them to grow up making right choices. We’d love to see them develop great character, excel in school, have long-lasting friendships and live with wisdom. As complex and pressure-packed as these goals may feel, accomplishing them doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
The Bible talks about having conversations with your children regularly about faith and God’s Word. Talk about faith when you’re hanging out in your backyard, when you’re driving to your camping destination, when you sit down together at dinner, as you help your children doze off at night and during the rush of getting ready for the day (Deuteronomy 6:4-7). Just talk. Tell lots of stories (personal, Bible, missionary, friends), ask open-ended questions (ie. questions that require more than yes or no answers) or give a word of encouragement.
Read on for a great video clip and resource ideas. Read the rest of this entry »

19 10 2010While our church does not use 252 Basics, there are some principles here in this blog that translate very easily. In other words, just change the titles of the resources to LEDGE Connection and the Living Inside Out at Home page. Good stuff!
