Most of us can comfortably say that we love our parents. Whether we have had only one or fortunate enough to have both parents, there is likely an inherent or natural love that we have that nothing or no one could compare.

Take a Break
Stress is taking its toll on people around the world. In fact, much of the illness that is dominating people’s lives has a connection to how stressful life has become for them. When you really think about the times that you are under tremendous amounts of stress and pressure, it is difficult to think clearly and your productivity suffers. Our…
The Experience of Fatherhood
When I used to think of what it meant to be a father, I looked back at my own childhood experience with my dad. The simple things he did for me and my siblings meant so much to us. The way he used to place his hand on top of our heads in public was a gesture that said that…
Sexual Sins
This is probably the most challenging topic to write an article on because it is such a personal topic for people. However, I feel that I would be negligent not to write on a subject that affects so many of us. Since I am writing to the brothers, my words will be directed towards the issues we face as men…
Be Humble
Humility is a very tricky thing. Our society today would have us to believe that we should always look out for ourselves and to take pride in what we do and what we have.

No matter how hard we try, it feels as though we fall short of what we ought to be for God. Romans 3:23 states that we all have sinned and…
Don’t Give Up
Several years ago, I went to a men’s retreat sponsored by the Church I attend. During one of the workshops on marriage, an older brother said emphatically, “Brothers, don’t leave your wives!” His pronouncement caught me off guard. I was a newlywed at the time. I had not yet had any real experience with the ups and downs of marriage,…
Obedience to God
People who have dogs will often give them some type of obedience training. It is through this training that the dog will learn some basic commands, such as how to sit, stay, or come when prompted. When the owner gives the decree, the dog will respond accordingly, and this outcome will make the owner happy. Trainers have different ways in…
