Balance. It’s one of the toughest targets to hit when raising children. What is the right balance in spending time with your child? Whether its relaxing, studying God’s Word, correcting, spending time in prayer, or teaching life skills, you only have a small amount of time  to accomplish all of this. The key is usually found in the personal life of the parent. If a parent’s personal life is not balanced according to Biblical guidelines, then it will be tough to properly balance the time spent with the child. This week, try to keep an eye on how you spend your time with your child. If most of your time or conversations revolve around one theme, then shoot for some more balance in other areas. At the same time, look a little more closely at the balance of your own life compared to the teaching of God’s word.  “There is an appointed time for everything.” Ecclesiastes 3:1

Joe's new book is a short, informative tool designed specifically for parent-child study. The Faith Expedition tackles the biggest arguments against the existence of God and the authenticity of the Bible and the life of Christ. Tackling one chapter a week could be an easy way to fuel spiritual conversations with your son or daughter, as well as combating the intellectual attacks they are facing regarding their faith.

Our weekly Family Devos present an opportunity for you and your family to sit down together once a  week and dig into God’s word and pray together. These Devos are designed to supplement the daily time you spend together as a family in prayer and Bible study. While they are an excellent resource, they are not designed to take the place of your own personal, daily time with the Lord.
