Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than a double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Raising children is a challenge. Parenting is a blessing in ones life that requires a lot of work, a lot of patience, and a lot of prayer.
One tool that we have been using in our parenting, is listening to audio teachings together. We have always been a huge fan of listening to audio dramas together, but now we added on a different type of listening pleasure to our family time. At least a few times a week, we , as a family, listen to a sermon/teaching on OnePlace.com.
We've always tried to do devotionals, and bible studies together, but recently we have added listening to sermons together. That used to only happen on Sunday morning as we worshipped in church together. I found OnePlace months ago, and have so enjoyed it. They have such a variety of teaching and preachers, that we have been able to find timely topics to listen to. We have been amazed at how the Word has been actively changing our children. This past week, we had listened to 3 very great preachings. Our older kids sat and listened to them, taking some notes. Afterwards, we have talked about what we learned and discussed what God's Word says about the topic. Today, I realized how much our kids have been changed by these teachings. Two of our teachings this week have been on obedience, and the last one was on the tongue. I can't explain to you how amazed I am at the maturing I have seen. The conversations we have had, along with the wise choices I see being made have been amazing. I, myself have been listening to teachings from One Place as I clean at night. What a great ministry!!
