admin Parenting the ADHD Child by David M. Tyler  Children are a gift from God. Children are gifts from God that give our lives meaning and happiness.  Parenting children should not been seen as a hardship. Even those labeled with ADHD. Even in a fallen world contaminated by sin, children are living proof of God’s love and mercy.  Adam and Eve’s rebellion toward God occurred before they had conceived any children. Nevertheless, God preserved them and permitted Adam and Eve to fulfill the command given before the fall; “Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28).  In these wor ..read more

admin He Whom Jesus Loves is Sick by David M. Tyler  “Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick” (John 11:3, NASB). Lazarus’ illness shocked his sisters. They said “Behold!” It is a term conveying astonishment and surprise. The Savior dearly loved Lazarus. Then why is he sick?   Why Are You Sick? Why me? Why am I sick Why are you sick? Have you ever wondered how your lingering pain and disease is consistent with Christ’s love for you? You know He can heal you. Then why are you sick? The root and origin of illness is sin.

admin Children that Feel Entitled by David M. Tyler  There was a time when people would have been offended at the idea that others “owed” them something. That they were entitled and should be given what they needed. Americans were self-sufficient. They worked hard for what they wanted. This was the Christian work ethic. It stated work was a gift from God and was to be pursued and appreciated. Entitled and Deserve Better. Fast forward to today. It seems people are more self-centered. There is an attitude toward work and life known as the entitlement mentality. It is the opposite of the C ..read more

admin Pain: Can I Feel Better? by David M. Tyler  Pain is universal. It is something we all experience for some reason and duration. It has been present since the fall of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:15-17). One thing we have in common regarding pain; we want it to go away. We want to feel better. Some people are labeled as having chronic pain. These people typically create and pursue a strategy built around relief or coping. Their goal is to feel better and to function normally. Stop the Pain Does a person’s response to aching and hurting have anything to do with its intensity? Where can on ..read more

admin Our Marriage is Failing by David Tyler  Scarcely a week goes by that I do not talk with a husband and wife whose marriage is failing. They started out happily married but somehow, everything changed. Both find themselves caught up in the chaos of work schedules, household chores, and to-do-lists. Their relationship with one another and Christ has become stagnant. They withhold affection and become distant. Unmet expectations and desires along with bad attitudes of resentment lead to frequent quarrels. Oftentimes these couples describe themselves as “just living together”. Our marri ..read more

admin Aborting Children Without Souls  by David M. Tyler  The abortion debate’s focus is not so much on whether the unborn is human but is him or her a person. Science is clear regarding whether the unborn is human. If the unborn is not a member of the human species, then it must be a member of another species. That’s ridiculous. A cat is a cat because it’s father and mother are cats. Humans produce human offspring. However, pro-abortion advocates argue aborting children is justified because they are not persons. The unborn does not yet bear the image of God. Personhood is the issue ..read more

admin The Personhood of the Unborn by David M. Tyler Pro-life and pro-choice advocates agree it is wrong to kill an innocent human being. If a fetus is a human being then abortion is killing a human being. However, pro-abortion advocates argue that while it is human it nevertheless is not a person. They insist this important distinction that justifies abortion is often overlooked. Today, the abortion debate’s focus is not so much on whether the unborn is human but is him or her a person. Science is clear regarding the humanhood question.[i] Humans produce human offspring. Rejecting this would ..read more

admin Abortion Question: “What Is It?” by David M. Tyler The abortion debate is not a debate per se between those who are pro-choice and those that are pro-life. It’s not about choice, health or privacy. The debate is not about forcing one’s religion or morality upon someone else. It’s about one question and one question only. What is it? Is the unborn a human/person or not?  If the unborn is a person then killing him or her is not justified; it is morally wrong. However, if the unborn is not a person then killing him or her requires no more justification than squeezing a pimple. Is the unborn ..read more
