Yesterday was a happy day and a sad day. It was a happy day because 1500 people gathered at Living Word in Minneapolis to honor one of the kids that grew up in my Kids Church in the 80’s. It was a sad day, because I lost a spiritual son and a good friend. More […]
How Important Is It….that we teach the Gospel to Kids? “And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to […]
“For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” The mission of Christ is straight forward, to seek and save the lost, but I find that kids that grow up in church have little understanding of the mission of Christ. The reason for this is two-fold. Kids that grow up […]

A child’s most formative years are their youngest — from birth to age five. About 90 percent of a child’s brain […]
If I want my kids to know how to pray and get answers to their prayers, it isn’t good enough I tell them they should pray. I need to show them how to pray. I need to teach them about the different kinds of prayer and how to get them answered. Here is a short […]
Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of his disciples came to him and said, “Lord, teach us to pray….” Why did the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray? They could see that Jesus was getting answers to His prayers and they were not. I am a […]
