As fathers, we can help our children in numerous ways. One that we're called to do is this: help your children know God. "Then Joshua called the twelve men from the people of Israel, whom he had appointed, a man from each tribe. And Joshua said to them, 'Pass on...
“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 I was wondering this week, “How long would it take to count to one million?” It turns out there is a record for doing just that: 89 days. The record holder...
