Aging is God's idea. It's one of the ways he keeps us headed homeward.

May you live in such a way that your death is just the beginning of your life.

Which would you prefer? To be king of the mountain for a day? Or to be a child of God for eternity?

Faith is the conviction that God knows more than we do about this life and He will get us through it.

We celebrate the First Advent to whet our appetites for the Second. We long for the next coming.

No one can teach your child like you can. No nanny, Bible school teacher, aunt, or uncle has your authority. What a phenomenal privilege is yours.

You come before the judgment seat of God full of rebellion and mistakes. Because of his justice he cannot dismiss your sin, but because of his love he cannot dismiss you. So, in an act which stunned the heavens, he punished himself on the cross for your sins. God’s justice and love are equally honored. And you, God’s creation, are forgiven.
