- Why Parents Use the Rod of Correction - "This is for the parent who already affirms the value and appropriateness of using the rod of correction, and who understands the word "rod" in certain places in the Bible to be a literal paddle of some sort. For parents in this category, in a typically anti-spanking world, I hope to provide a few answers to the question, 'Why do you spank your children?'" - Click here to read more, or click here to download (USA) or here to download in .A4.

- Real-life Child Converts - "However, in the history of the church and evangelism, people have believed that children could be converted because "Whatever the LORD pleases, He does" (Psalm 135:6), but they have alleged that it was almost impossible to know if a child had been converted at a very young age."

- The Littlest Sinners - "If you have ever been to the hospital to see a newborn baby, your first words to the mom were probably not, "What a beautiful little sinner you've given birth to!" However, those words are completely accurate. Not only is the baby a "beautiful" creation of God (cf. Psalm 139:13), but it is also a "little sinner." Children are born sinners."

- Can This Marriage Be Saved? - "Though Kevin and Christiana tried church life for awhile in
their journey, it did not satisfy. Kevin was struggling with

- Fathering "by the Book" - "I'm sure (or at least I hope) Mr. Cosby was only kidding. Perhaps he meant to say that whatever you do as a father will either be right or wrong. If that is what he meant, I agree. But if he meant to say that the best you can do as a father facing difficult child-raising issues is to flip a coin (so to speak), he could not be more wrong."

- The Hardest Change So Far - "Tonight I will kneel beside the bed where he lay just two nights ago.

- Motives for a Holy and Careful Education of Children - "Richard Baxter recognized the fact that conversion is God's work, not man's. He also recognized that children sometimes reject even the best biblical instruction and training. My hope in providing this piece is that Baxter's words will prompt those who have remaining opportunity with their children to use the time wisely, and to encourage others to do the same."

- Children, Obey Your Parents - "Children have become experts these days at stretching and re-interpreting the words of Ephesians 6:1. The result has been to redefine various forms of rebellion as obedience. Even worse, parents have all too often allowed it to happen."

- What They Did Before TV - "It seems almost inconceivable to believe that there was life before television. As good as the medium is for some things, it is an instrument of death to conversation in most families. Add computers, a personal CD player, and speed-eating and we've successfully killed off the last remnants of conversation in most families. Frankly, most families have no meaningful conversation at all. Days and weeks pass, if not months and years, without the skimpiest morsel of a good conversation. When I think about this, I almost weep for the magnitude of the loss."

- When Ball Becomes Baal - "It's rare to see kids playing sports in the neighborhood anymore. We're now
organized and 'professionalized'—including uniforms, state-of-the-art
facilities, endless trips to the field, competitive coaches, equally competitive

bottom.'"
