Dr. Bob Barnes and Torrey Roberts: Teaching Children to Love

This being the “Love Month” the topic of love is worthy of discussion …even in a parenting article. In fact, teaching children the proper understanding of love might be one of the most neglected areas of parenting. And, that neglect might be very damaging for a child’s future success in life. At first glance it sounds very worldly to challenge a parent to raise a child to be a great lover. But should we let our children gain this expertise by encouraging them to watch television shows like “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette”? This is what the world around us […]

Franklin Graham: Pray for Donald J. Trump

On Jan. 20, Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States. Trump became only the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms. He received more than 77 million votes — the most ever by a Republican candidate — as voters expressed concern that our nation is in trouble.  Voters rejected the far-left liberal political agenda of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris that championed abortion rights, same-sex marriage and transgender advocacy, and created a legal and political atmosphere that was hostile to Biblical principles and Christian values.  The incoming administration has promised […]

Dr. Tommy Boland: Let that Light of Yours Shine!

“Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). We tend to think of it as a children’s song – and if you or your kids grew up in church, you are probably very familiar with it: “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” I’d like to encourage you to embrace this as your resolution for 2025 and beyond. May we be so filled with the light of Christ that He shines in our eyes, warms […]

William “Bill” C. Davell: Selling Goods in Florida? Here’s What You Should Know

Bill Davell: I have heard that if someone is buying or selling goods in Florida, there must be a written contract if the price is more than $500. Is that true?   Charles Tatelbaum: Yes, it is. Under the Florida version of the Uniform Commercial Code, which is a law that is virtually identical throughout the US, in order for a contract for the sale of goods for the prices of $500 or more to be enforceable, it must be in writing.   BD: What do you mean by the term “goods”?   CT: Virtually anything that is tangible other […]

Dr. Bob Barnes and Torrey Roberts: Give Children the Gift of Learning Time Management

Last month I received a phone call from a parent asking my opinion about Play Station 5 and other forms of video games. The mother calling asked, “Don’t these video games become addictive and cause kids to waste many precious hours of time? We bought a Play Station 5 for our kids for Christmas, but I’m thinking about taking it back. I’m also thinking we should not have these temptations in our home.” It is not the devices that are the problem. The problem is some games that children play are very unhealthy and unacceptable. (Pay attention to the rating […]
