Family Devotional Unit 3, Lesson 7: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

One of the big mistakes that is made in modern Christianity is the idea that what God wants to do is to come to our lives, fix them up, and make them better. With this mind set, we still get to do basically what we want, we just do it with a little Jesus sprinkled in.

Family Devotional Unit 3, Lesson 6: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

Are there many versions of truth or only one? That is one of the great questions that face everyone in this life. The world is full of competing truths. How can we know which is worth following?

Family Devotional Unit 3, Lesson 5: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

Regardless of how young and innocent your kids might be, they are never too young to start addressing them with the truth that Jesus is the only way. It has become increasingly popular in our society to fudge on that a bit and say that Jesus is a way, but it would be arrogant to think that He is the only path to heaven and the age to come.

Family Devotional Unit 3, Lesson 4: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

We don't often talk to our children about how we should view the Bible. What do we mean when we say that we can trust the Bible, or that it doesn’t have mistakes, or that it has authority? We won’t look at any of those things in great depth, but certainly enough for kids to begin to understand what we mean when we say these things. We will look at four aspects of how we view the Bible.

Exciting New DPI Book: One Picture's Worth

As a parent you want to impart to your children the truth and meaning of God's word. You want them to learn scriptures that they will hide in their hearts (as the Psalmist says) so they will grow in their understanding of God's will and his love.

Family Devotional Unit 3, Lesson 3: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

As we raise children up, we want them to learn the Word of God and sincerely learn how to apply it to their lives. We tend to assume, even as they get older though, that because they accept the word of God as true in their younger years, that they will continue to do so as they get older.

Family Devotional Unit 3, Lesson 2: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

One of the greatest tools that we can give to our children is teach them to use and recognize proper logic. Kids are never too young to begin to learn this. Logic helps us to recognize things that claim to be truth but are not because they are self-refuting.

Family Devotional Unit 3, Lesson 1: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

Sir Isaac Newton invented gravity as well as the laws of motion. Christopher Columbus invented the new world of America. And of course, in the 20th century, Albert Einstein invented relativity. Would you agree with those statements? If you would there is a problem.

Family Devotional Unit 2, Lesson 7: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

A commonly held belief in our worldly society these days is that everyone is a victim that is not really responsible for his or her own actions. This is completely contrary to the biblical teaching of personal responsibility.

Family Devotional Unit 2, Lesson 6: Out of the Driveway, Into the Game

Very few people, even non-Christians would argue that lying, stealing, or killing are good things. Because of that we assume that when our children watch TV or go to school, that they are learning that those things are always bad to do. That’s not, however, entirely accurate.
