Some guy lives in the North Pole making presents with his little elf friends. Every year his flying deer take him to every home to deliver those presents to every kid around the world in one night. Kids will believe just about anything an adult will tell them. This is exaggerated by the fact that Santa sleigh is led by a deer with a red lightbulb as a nose. Kids Generally Believe What Adults Tell Them As parents, we understand the impressionable nature of our children’s ..read more

God Has a Wonderful Plan for Your Life When I was on staff with Campus Crusade, the first point of their gospel tract, the Four Spiritual Laws, was, “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.” Dr. Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade, saw Christian life as an adventure with God. And, for his part, it was. God led him to leave seminary to start a campus ministry believing if he could reach the college student, he would impact the world. His ministry has helped reach lost students and mobilize Christians for over 50 years. My belief is that God truly has a wonderful plan for e ..read more
