Fathers Arise: Follow Me as I Follow Christ

When you stop to think about how children learn, there is no doubt that an element of verbal teaching takes place. However, there is a greater degree of modeling and imitating that modeling that deeply impresses the main lessons in their thinking and thus in their lives. We all learned from watching and doing what we saw. Spiritually, this learning method is extremely important as well. In this lesson, we look at Paul’s charge to the church in Corinth when he tells them to “Follow me as I follow Christ.”

Intentional Marriage

Men and women are different. While the world seems confused on this subject, the Bible is not. However, these differences often create tension in marriage because the husband and wife do not have the same point of view. But these differences were designed by God for a reason, and being intentional in how we address them is essential for a successful marriage.
