Parents, we’re doing too much again: Melissa Edgington says, “We’re too often in constant contact with our children. They don’t have any opportunities to learn critical thinking skills because they text us every question in their brains to get quick advice about what to say, which door to walk through, which paper to fill out, and on and on forever.”
Don’t do everything for your kids: O. Alan Noble agrees, “Parenting and guilt seem to go hand-in-hand. Why is that? Society constantly pressures us to Do More and Be More and Get It Right. We are told to practice the latest techniques in parenting to ensure the health and prosperity of our children.”
The 2 roads approach to evangelism: Joe Carter explains how blending an old evangelistic approach with a fresh approach brings clarity to evangelistic conversations. “By thoughtfully combining these two approaches, we can present a gospel that both saves individuals and invites them into God’s story of cosmic renewal. This hybrid framework offers practical guidance for sharing this holistic gospel in ways that resonate deeply with modern listeners while remaining firmly rooted in biblical truth.”
Do not neglect the gift you have: Scott Hubbard says, “You may have a small vision for your life; God does not. His will for you is fruitful labor, Christ-honoring ministry, eternity-shaping influence. So, whatever you do, don’t bury your talent in the dirt or hide it in your pocket.”
