big emotions

We have talked about the fact that in parenting the days may feel long but the years go by so quickly. We have but a few summers with our children before they are off to college, 13 or less to be exact, where we can be intentional to pour into our children. We can use these months to give them memories as a family, with intentional fun together and vacations, but we can also use these moments to train. One of these areas we can focus on is handling big emotions. We may have more time to observe these moments […]

Summer offers families the chance to slow down and reconnect – something I know we look forward to all year long. My family heads to upstate New York every summer and it’s a long-standing tradition filled with precious memories that I know make an incredible impact on our ability to connect as a family.   Connecting through traditions Whether you are heading to North Carolina, the Northeast, or staying local and enjoying things like the beach, there is an opportunity to build tradition with our kids. For 4KIDS Foster and Adoptive Families this idea can often be challenging as we […]

Supernatural “Stop It!”

Dr. Tommy Boland

“It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).   Only when you know deep down in your soul that you have been saved by God’s grace and that you are loved unconditionally, fully forgiven and completely accepted in the Beloved will you stop doing so many things that rob you of the joy of your salvation and the abundant life that Jesus promised to give you.    Trying to earn God’s favor? STOP […]

Write a Book

Slower summer months lend themselves to curling up with a good book at the beach or on a shady patio chair. Good News Wants to Know… If you were to write a book, what would it be about? If I were to write a book (which is on the launchpad for next year), it would be called Nonconformist. I have spent my life in the US Marine Corps, the US Secret Service, and now in full-time ministry, pushing back against the enemy. It is the same enemy, whether pulling a trigger, breaking up marriages, or conflicting our children’s identities. Men and women […]

in-betweens

Sunsets make you think it’s the end of one thing and the beginning of another; it’s an in-between. I’ve been thinking of late about the in-betweens in our lives. The more I think about it the more I realize that our lives are littered with in-betweens. I also realize that there are different types of in-betweens, some more significant than others. Perhaps you have found yourself in an in-between. Have you ever been in-between a job, a career or a relationship?  Perhaps you have found yourself traveling and were in-between cities or even continents. In-betweens bring with them a whole […]

“In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success” (Proverbs 3:6, TLB).

Just a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in six different cities in three states during our God Loves You Tidewater Tour. In every town, hundreds of people — young and old — responded to the Gospel invitation to make a decision for Christ and give their hearts fully to our Savior. I have preached at more than 300 evangelistic Crusades and Festivals through the years, and I never grow weary of seeing people respond to the Gospel message. Of course, my father preached around the world for nearly seven […]

On the 4th of July, 1776, 56 delegates to the Continental Congress voted to approve the final wording of the Declaration of Independence, our national birth certificate.  The Declaration declared independence from Great Britain, while at the same declaring dependence upon Almighty God. Four times, the document mentions God.    God-given rights Fast forward to today. Why do people from many other countries try to come to America – even in some cases, risking their lives to do so? What is the source of this nation’s greatness? I think the single biggest thing that makes this country so great gets […]
