Heaven Help The Home
The Rod of God: When Love Says No
Hebrews 12:5-11; Proverbs 13:34 – May 16, 1999“Spare the rod and spoil the child.” It’s an old saying and like most things old, it has been neglected of late. But there is the ring of truth about it. If you spare the rod, you will indeed spoil your child. This is the clear testimony of Holy Scripture and of centuries of human […]
Fathers Who Lead, Mothers Who Love, Children Who Obey:
1 Thessalonians 2:7-13 – May 9, 1999This week I read part of a book by Richard Strauss on the Christian home. In one chapter he discusses seven goals for Christian parents. I found his list so suggestive that I decided to begin my sermon by repeating it here. This is what we want to accomplish in raising our children: To lead […]

At Columbine High School the students were still buzzing about the prom the previous Saturday night. Little did they know that their tranquil world was about to be shattered forever. At 11:15 a.m., Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold […]
What Makes a Marriage?
Genesis 2:18-25 – April 18, 1999It was a hot night when we got married. Late August in Phoenix, Arizona, is always hot but by the time our wedding started, the temperature outside had cooled down to a balmy 97 degrees. There weren’t very many people at our wedding — less than 100, I think. Except for my family they were […]
As for Me and My House:
Joshua 24:14-15 – April 11, 1999Today we are launching a brand-new series called “Heaven Help the Home.” As a place to begin, let’s consider these words by Chuck Swindoll: Whatever else may be said about the home, it is the bottom line of life, the anvil upon which attitudes and convictions are hammered out. It is the place where life’s […]
