Honoring MY Parents?

Honoring our parents is kind of a big deal to God... It is actually one of the commandments!  Are we good at this? Why is this so important, and how can we become better children, honoring our parents?

The Model Family?

All of us would love to be part of the "model family," but in reality, most of us aren't. Does it have to be this way?  How can we learn from the model of Christ as we model Godly parenting to our kids?
