You're Very Good at That
Chuck Swindoll has learned that discovering your child's unique characteristics and strengths requires observation and sensitivity—and the willingness to let them be different from you!
So Glad to Have You
Parents necessarily spend a great deal of time correcting and training their children. But Chuck Swindoll gives tips on how to make sure we're also encouraging them regularly.
Making the Time Count
We can spend a lot of time with our kids, taking them here and there, and still fail to really know who they are or to say what we should say. Chuck Swindoll talks about priorities.
God on the Move
There are some things about God I take for granted. They are truths so deeply embedded they have become assumptions. But what I see as assumptions were once stunning revelations.
Creating a Legacy of Mentoring
This final lesson on creating a legacy focuses on this critical element of mentoring—passing our legacy to those who will come after us. Unlike a relay, this passing of the legacy is not a moment but a lifelong attitude of mentoring others to carry on the tradition we received.
You're Growing Older but Not Old
Please remember—your age is not a mistake…nor an oversight…nor an afterthought. The command to multiply your faith in the lives of others often occurs most effectively when you’re older.
Creating a Legacy of Moral Purity
At the height of his success, King David fell in the midst of battle. But his lost battle wasn’t against the lion, the bear, the giant, or the Philistines. David lost the battle against himself.
What are the Keys to Receiving What I Pray for?
We are exhorted to practice persistent repetition of our requests, not a formulaic repetition of words, which Jesus condemned (Matthew 6:7–8).
Creating a Legacy of Responsibility
The 18th century preacher Jonathan Edwards wrote 70 resolutions before the age of 20. He knew obstacles were inevitable, so many of his resolutions were written to address this challenge. No matter the difficulties that came before him, he resolved to continue upon the path laid out for him by God. That’s responsibility, which is our topic for this message.
