Listen to today's Laugh Again with Phil Callaway, "Stuck on Gecko Feet." Enjoy!

Jill Garner discusses how we can raise morally courageous children, grounded in truth, and able to stand strong against the many temptations of today’s culture. Her book, StrongHeart, gives practical ways that parents can instill humility, gratitude, other-centeredness, respect, GRIT, and bravery in the heart of their child. Help your child discover all of who God has called them to be!

There is no pursuit more important than the cultivation of your family. That’s the one eternal thing you leave behind. While you can’t undo the past, you can work intentionally to reconcile and restore your relationships.

This is the age of much know-how and very little know-why.  The invisible enemy of sin and secularism has left us dazed and bewildered.  In the midst of the wreckage sits God’s intended rescue center, the church.  We each have responsibilities, and when we work together, the displaced find a place.  And, behind it all, overseeing the operation is the Holy Spirit.

And he does this through the distribution of gifts.  “…All [spiritual gifts] are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines” (1 Corinthians 12:11 NIV).

The Holy Spirit is the ultimate gift giver.  He garnishes his children with supernatural abilities that glorify God, bless the needy, and edify the church.  Would it not be a tragedy to miss out on your unique-to-you assignment?

What does Jude mean when it says, "build yourselves up"? And what about "praying in the Spirit"? Isn't that tongues? If not, what is it actually? My mother wants me to drive her to the Catholic church, but I wish she knew the truth about Jesus. What can I do? I put mud on my eyes and nothing happened. Why didn't God heal me?
