Avoiding Drifting in Our Walk
We must all be careful and avoid drifting while our ships are trying to head to the goal ahead. There are many storms seeking to halt us on our journey. Fortunately, there are warning signs that we can heed.


Gambling Costs Us More Than It Gives
In my own state of Mississippi, the insidious cancer of gambling is taking a toll. Faced with a massive Medicaid budget deficit, it is a chore to get people to see the connection between poverty and gambling.


Our Temple
From the time when Jesus first came to earth as a baby and then had His first visit to the Temple when just weeks old, until the last time before His death on the cross, He was drawn to the Temple. He replaced the Temple in Jerusalem with Himself.


IF
We have a choice to make on how we spend our time. Listening to someone and spending time with them is priceless.

Just married ... driver needed
According to 1950s crooner Frank Sinatra, love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. But not all horse-drawn carriages ride off into the sunset nor do all marriages end with happily ever after.



After 'I do'
The flowers are dead. The dress is yellowed. The wedding bells are silent. Those are no excuses for relationships to die and marriages to end, but statistics confirm that society sees the joining of a man and woman as a futile institution likely to wilt faster than the bride’s bouquet.



Reality check before 'I do'
Traditionally, June is the month for weddings. Unfortunately, the failure of marriages in this country has also become a tradition. The legacy of divorce doesn’t have to become a long-standing tradition in the United States, though, according to an organization that has worked for years to promote the saving of marriages.


Renowned artist says marriage, children benefit from no television
Thomas Kinkade, known around the world as the “Painter of Light,” has co-authored The Many Loves of Marriage and The Many Loves of Parenting with his wife, Nanette. The Kinkades live with their four daughters in northern California. In an exclusive interview with AFA Journal, he discussed his views on art, marriage and parenting.


10 myths of marriage
Contrary to earlier and widely publicized reports, recent research finds men and women to benefit about equally from marriage, although in different ways. Both men and women live longer, happier, healthier and wealthier lives when they are married. Husbands typically gain greater health benefits while wives gain greater financial advantages.


Parental control: the ultimate monitor
Author and pollster George Barna is more than your run-of-the-mill political pundit or off-the-cuff cultural commentator. Barna is more accurate. More grounded in fact. More credible. And often more frightening. His observations and commentaries are based on hard data.


Veteran dads share fathering failures, faith
About a dozen years ago my pastor had the bright idea of asking four couples in my church to participate in a panel discussion on rearing teenagers. As I remember, only one couple had the good sense to decline. It wasn’t my wife and I.
