Connect With and Enjoy Your Kids This Summer

See What God Has Done! Do You See It?
Devotion For You How vital that we pray, armed with the knowledge that God is in Heaven. Pray with any lesser conviction and your prayers are timid, shallow, and hollow.

Reach For The Moon, Shoot For The Stars
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. – Psalm 19:1 I didn’t know it at the time, as I was just a little girl, but on July 20, 1969, my family and I witnessed what would become not only one of the most significant historical events…

Stargazing: Who’s In Control?
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. — Psalm 19:1 ESV If you only study your immediate surroundings, it may seem that you’re in control of your life.

Discovering God’s Purpose for Your Life
Church reformer and theologian John Calvin argued that there is no more exalted a description of a Christian than this: “We are God’s handiwork” (lit., “masterpiece”; Ephesians 2:10).
