In those moments their heart is filled with the presence of God, but then, within a few days or weeks, they once again feel empty and sick. Whatever they received seems to have gradually leaked out.Andrew Wommack, seen nationwide on his television broadcast, The Gospel Truth, shares that your life does not have to be a roller coaster of Christian highs and lows. God's desire is that His children move consistently from one level of relationship with Him to the next - never having to feel abandoned and alone.Be encouraged and challenged by Andrew's remarkable teaching from Romans 1:21 showing four essentials to staying close to God: glorify God, be thankful, recognize the power of your imagination, and have a good heart. Begin to understand that the reason you might feel far away from God, Who is always stable and consistent, is because you have either consciously or unconsciously moved away from Him. He is a gentleman and will not violate your free will. But, if you will draw near to God in those four vital areas, your relationship with God will begin and continue to flourish.

    And we want to be good parents. But what exactly do we mean by "good?" And is "being good" really the point?Mother-daughter team Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson contend that every way we try to make our kids "good" is simply an extension of Old Testament Law--a set of standards that is not only unable to save our children, but also powerless to change them.No, rules are not the answer. What they need is GRACE.We must tell our kids of the grace-giving God who freely adopts rebels and transforms them into loving sons and daughters. If this is not the message your children hear, if you are just telling them to "be good," then the gospel needs to transform your parenting too.Give Them Grace is a revolutionary perspective on parenting that shows us how to receive the gospel afresh and give grace in abundance, helping our children know the dazzling love of Jesus and respond with heartfelt obedience.
