Our November/December issue of FrontLine just came out. I’ve been busy interviewing many of our authors. We plan to start airing those interviews next week. Today I am going back to the July/August issue to a conversation with Jaime Flack, the author of our Heart to Heart column. Jaime will describe what she does in…
I was asked recently to give a list of 10 ways folks could pray for their pastor, which meant to me, “How can I pray for you?” So, I tried to give this request some careful thought, resulting in the list below. I’m sure a million requests could be added, but here is a brief…
Paul warns parents to not provoke their children to anger. We see this warning in both Ephesians 6:4 and Colossians 3:21. Ephesians goes on to give us the positive side of parenting, “bring them up in the nurture and instruction.” But in Colossians, the only parenting advice we get in Colossians is, “Don’t provoke your…
I’m just going to say it: we’ve become a mentally and emotionally weak generation. I’d be the first to admit that I’ve had my share of what Spurgeon called “fainting fits.” As our culture emphasizes a topic, whether we like to admit it or not, we become more prone to overfocusing on it.

FrontLine Volume 35 • Number 6 I can’t wait for you to jump into this edition of FrontLine. The art of good parenting, like so many of the fine arts, is a fading and distorted art in our culture. We live in a world where children, whether in age or maturity, lead us. Of course…

Today we have a unique guest, the daughter of our guest last week. If you listened to the episode with Preston Mayes, you might remember that he mentioned his daughter publishing an article in the same edition of FrontLine as his article. Well, that intrigued me as I hadn’t made the connection, so I had…
Last time, we looked at enslaved Israel in Egypt, their cry to God for deliverance, and God’s hearing, seeing, and knowing their troubles. He responded with care because he remembered his promises to them, and he delivered them. Hundreds of years later, we see Judah, the more faithful of the divided nation of Israel, once…
Jesus was a masterful teacher. One of the ways He demonstrated His skill as a teacher was through His ability to say a whole lot with just a few words. Novice speakers often think that the more they talk the more likely they are to change people’s minds. Sometimes that method works, but often saying…
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. Jeremiah 23:24 The people of Israel had been lulled into a false security by false prophets, even as the Babylonians were marching toward Jerusalem. These prophets said, The Lord…
