Christian teachers and most especially parents have the privileged opportunity to instruct children with the Truth that will guide and protect them throughout their lives. The Truth is God’s Word. God’s Word, beginning in Genesis, has a lot to say to modern parents and their children. It explains our origin, why we were created, and how to live.
Why not just live together? Because such living is impatient and seeks its own way. (1 Corinthians 13:4-5) New life in Christ calls for trust in the Creator of marriage—God himself.
(2 Corinthians 5:17) God’s love “rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:6b-7)
A Bible study written with respect for the call of men. When men remember their role in God’s Story as protectors and servant-style leaders, the world becomes a safer place for women and children.
It was a tearful plea from a young man over the phone. “My girlfriend is pregnant and is going to have an abortion. It’s my child as well as hers. What can I do?” It was with tearful regret that a young woman spoke of her reasons for choosing abortion. “My boyfriend said I had to” was at the top of the list.
As a young father sitting in the pew, I felt guilty hearing a Father’s Day sermon. I could never live up to that virtuous Christian father so often extolled. When I became a pastor, I realized I would never have to listen to such sermons again as long as I never preached one! Nevertheless, the importance of Christian fatherhood needs to be addressed.
For every woman who participates in an abortion, there is a man. Although men are less likely to seek recovery, they suffer many of the same emotional feelings as women.
God loves fathers. He is one. Fathers of aborted children can find hope and comfort in this fact. God is the Father of Jesus and, in Him, our Father.
We stand for the right to life, not simply because the state needs more people, but rather because each human being is a unique creation of God, endowed with personhood and the rights that attach to personhood from the moment of conception.
Linda Bartlett takes at look at the importance of a “Dad” in a girl’s life. The article features excerpts from an interview with Dr. Meg Meeker.
The cloning of Dolly the sheep is old news. Now there is talk about cloning humans to “replace” a dead child or to provide body parts for transplant. Most people are opposed to such cloning. But there is support for cloning human embryos to obtain stem cells to treat disease. Christians acknowledge that God has given us abilities to be used for treating disease. However, God’s gifts may be misused. We hope this article will help you sort out some of the confusing language used in the cloning debate so that you will be able to apply God’s truths to the issue of cloning.
