Matthew 22:37-39
A Godward Home
A Godward home is a peaceful home, thus we have the key to enjoying Life and Homeschooling!
Loving God supremely, that was perhaps the greatest mandate God's Word has ever given to us as believers. In Matthew 22:37-39
Jesus said to him, '' 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'38 ''This is the first and great commandment.''

There is our mandate as parents, as individuals, and as believers.
A Godward Life that gives to God the first place He deserves. How do we do it?
Over these past few weeks at Tulsa Bible Church I have shared some of the core beliefs that Bonnie and I share that are shaping our family. Tonight may I summarize them in three areas?
