SlideshowsUpdated Jun 03, 2025All Christian fathers need to do their best to raise their children to become godly individuals. This means teaching your children the love of God, the importance of following God, and the beauty of sharing the love of God in our actions. Fathers have a privilege and responsibility to raise their children to become godly people as they get older. In order to do this, fathers need to ensure they are truly following God in their daily lives.

The Bible tells us much about God being our true Father. Some people grow up without a father, never knew their father, or had a father who was emotionally absent from their lives. Any of these scenarios can make us feel alone, rejected, and hated. God created families to be a mom and a dad with their kids. He never intended for one of the parents to leave or to be absent from their children's life. Fathers being absent, either emotionally or literally, can affect kids significantly.

Turning to God with QuestionsBy Vivian BrickerBible Reading: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:5-6). Similar to many people, I have many questions for God.

The Bible has much to say about marriage and how each spouse should treat the other. Sadly, even amongst Christian circles, husbands are not loving their wives as they should. Instead, they control them or treat them as inferior. The Bible is clear that both men and women are equal, as we are both made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). However, many husbands use the Bible out of context to harm their wives. While this is not true for every husband, it does seem to be happening quite often.

Feeling Like an Open WoundBy Vivian BrickerBible Reading:“‘But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares’” Jeremiah 30:17I have loved Taylor Swift’s music since I was eight years old. While many people have different views about her, I think most of us can agree that her music contains beautiful storytelling. When her album Folklore came out, I instantly loved every song.

After a breakup, it can be hard to utilize your time properly. Sometimes, you cry over the person for weeks, and sometimes, anger rises in your heart. While it is okay to grieve a relationship and take your time to move forward, it is never okay to utilize your time poorly. For example, if we only ever use our time to think about past relationships, it will only make us feel downtrodden. It will not benefit us in the slightest. Instead, we have to forgive and move forward.

When I attended Bible college, engagements and weddings were the talk of the town. Every week, someone got engaged. Within my friend group in college, every single person got married within five years of one another. Whether it was a male in the friend group proposing to his girlfriend or a girl in the group being proposed to by her boyfriend, engagements were happening all the time. While we commonly hear this happening at Bible colleges, the same can be said about medical or even nursing schools.
