I often hear well-meaning Christian parents say the following, “I don’t want to force God on my child.  I want them to make their own decisions and create their own relationship with God.” I agree that an overbearing, hypocritical, legalistic way of parenting is just wrong, but let me challenge you with a different perspective: If it’s important to actively train our kids in matters of personal hygiene (brushing their teeth), education (attend and do their best in school),... Read more

To purchase the entire DVD set of the Summit Lecture Series, visit summit.org. Andrew Sullivan, perhaps one of the most prominent advocates for same-sex marriage said in 1996: “If nothing else were done at all and gay marriage were legalized, 90% of the political work necessary to achieve gay and lesbian equality will have been achieved. It’s ultimately the only reform that matters.” In other words, once gay marriage is put into place, or the government promotes same-sex marriage, homosexuality is... Read more

Once again, I am joined by my great friend, David Pendleton aboard the Carnival Dream Cruise Ship! Aboard the Carnival Dream, they have a huge and wonderful video game arcade! I can’t believe how many games they have and how spoiled today’s kids are. When I was a boy, I was a video game pioneer. We had different games than they have today. Our pixels were HUGE! Our games all looked like bad Lego accidents. Is it a pyramid?... Read more

(The following was originally published at www.CareyGreen.com.) The Daily Mindset Reset for today is all about what you believe… Because what you believe is what makes up your mindset. This governs and radically effects the way you live in every aspect of life. So, the key is taking control of your mindset. Think of it like the software you’ve installed to help you make sense of yourself, the world, God, and circumstances. But just because you’ve installed it doesn’t mean... Read more

Have you ever been so overcome with the intimate love of Jesus that you feel totally undone? Over the past many months, through some great emotional trials, I have leaned into Him… like in a wine press. He actually became my strength.   The hardest times in our lives are the very times He most reveals Himself. Every issue you may deal with in life, if you would only allow Him into it, you will find extreme comfort, growth, and... Read more

It’s common knowledge that almost all teens don’t quite understand the emotional and relational aspects of life because they are so consumed by the physical. That’s just where they are in life. Puberty, and all the changes that it brings on, simply limits their awareness and understanding. At I’m Waiting, we try to push that wall back a little bit and show them that there are many other components to sexual activity… many that may not be healthy. One... Read more

The Bible is very clear on what God’s expectations are for us as husbands and wives (His design for marriage): Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her (Ephesians 5:25) Do not let your adornment be merely outward– arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel–rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight... Read more

Whenever you are discussing a controversial topic with someone, ask them, “Do you consider yourself a tolerant person?”  When they reply that they are, you then say, “Well, good.  So, when I say something that you don’t agree with, then you will still treat me and my ideas with respect, even though you don’t agree with them, right?  That’s what a tolerant person would do.  Correct?” By doing this, before things even have a chance at getting heated, you have... Read more

Once again, this week’s show comes from the stage of the Carnival Dream Cruise Ship! When I was younger, I didn’t date much… even though I thought I would. You see, when I was a little boy, women would constantly tell me, “You are so cute! You’re going to have to beat the ladies away with a stick, Mister!” And I believed them. Then came puberty. They say it’s an awkward stage… but it just made me permanently awkward.... Read more

The definition of a disciple is:  one who attends upon another for the purpose of learning from them.  So, basically, a disciple is someone who follows another person with the expressed purpose of learning from them. Jesus specifically chose twelve apostles out of a group of about 120 followers. And then, from those twelve, he chose three – Peter, John and James – to give them even more intimate instruction and leadership. Now, Jesus didn’t have all the distractions that... Read more
