The Most Powerful Words Ever Spoken

Do you know what words your children are longing to hear? They are the most powerful words ever spoken by God to everyone He called to Himself. I’ll give you a hint. They aren’t, “I love you.” These words express the heart of God as a father to His children, so should be the words that flow out of the mouths of parents often.

The Power of Humility in Parenting

Few qualities in parents elicit more respect from children than humility. Humility doesn’t come naturally to us, it has to be instilled and grown from within by the Spirit of Christ. You’ll be encouraged and challenged by seven aspects of humility revealed in Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Parents who express these qualities of humility add supernatural power to their parenting.
