Family, God's Way

Scott Risley

Ephesians 6:1-4

Children need godly parents to show them the way to live. They in turn are called to obey when young, and honor their parents when older. In Greco-Roman times, the father was the ultimate authority, but Peter points out that God is in authority over the father. God calls the father to bring their children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Taming the Tongue

Gary DeLashmutt

James 3:1-12

No one can tame the tongue by moral will-power. It takes receiving Christ and cooperating with Him by faith. We cooperate with God's taming process by resisting the temptation of negative speech and replacing with positive speech.
