Review: That’s When I Talk to God

Posted in Reviews

Sometimes, as adults, we forget to teach our kids what prayer really is – it’s talking to God.  We don’t allow or show our kids that we pray all throughout the day.  Or, maybe, we’re not talking to God as we should be, so the kids don’t have an example of pray without ceasing.  Whatever the case, there are times that we need to remember to teach our kids that prayer is not just a ritual.  It’s genuine communication with God. In That’s When I Talk to God, kids will see examples of how they can talk to God in…

Good or Bad Fruit?

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #086 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. ~Matthew 7:15-20~
