• Ways to Spend Time With Your Family, Even When Time is Short (Part 2)

  In Parenting, Personal Opinion & Commentary / 4 October 2011 / 0 comments

  –Philip J Reed, on behalf of Daybreak Last month, we discussed an unfortunate reality of modern life: a lack of time to spend with the family. Obviously this is a problem that affects everybody to different degrees. One family might lament the fact that it only gets a few nights per week to spend together as one cohesive unit, and another might be lucky to get even a few minutes together. In today’s world, it’s not uncommon that both parents work, and it’s certainly not uncommon that teenage children work as well. Everybody has their own commitments – be they professional or personal – and getting all of the schedules to align can be tricky at best. But that doesn’t have to mean that “quality time” is off the table entirely; you just might have to be more creative about [...]

   

• Okay, I’m On My Knees Begging…

  In My Books, Personal Opinion & Commentary / 21 September 2011 / 0 comments

  

  When I publish a new book, I let people know it’s available and that’s pretty much it. I’ve never begged, coerced, urged or pleaded with folks to buy one of my books.  Purchase:  Paper | Audio | eBook  This time I am. My book “Terrorist to Evangelist” is now out through a national publisher and has a real chance to get on the map… but SALES are what drives it up on selling lists and gets it noticed by the various book powers that be. So for the first time ever, I’m begging every one I know to buy a copy – any format (paperback, audio or ebook).  Purchase:  Paper | Audio | eBook  I write a lot of material for a limited audience (the serious Christian market). This book has [...]

  From Brent This weekend I finished my latest book, and maybe one of the most important I’ll ever write. You can have the eBook for FREE, and distribute it for free. You can email use, use it, print, make it available on your blog for free… with my blessing. This is knowledge that every Christian absolutely should know and understand, so I don’t want a “purchase” to stand in the way of everyone having it. These are the ESSENTIALS. I don’t get into or attempt to persuade on any topic where long standing denominational differences have existed (such as the “end times” or Calvinism). Nothing controversial, nothing specific to a particular church or denomination. I think all Biblical Christian groups and families will find this [...]

• The Basic Christian Life: Patience & Overcoming – Part 15

  In Faithful, SeriousFaith, Teaching / 7 September 2011 / 0 comments

  

  (Click here to search for all the posts in this series…) James 5:7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. (NKJV) Ah… “be patient”. Is there any less welcome admonition these days?  We don’t want to be patient… we want spiritual success NOW. We want prosperity NOW. We want Godly mountaintop experiences NOW. The long term, methodical, routine, patient life just doesn’t make good marketing. It’s common today to seek after a consistent stream of extraordinary, exclamatory and superlative experiences in our Christian life. We need to send old James to a “3 Keys to Spiritual Victory TODAY!” seminar. But, I guess since James said it, and it made the cut in the Bible, I guess we better take a closer look. [...]

  [From Brent: welcome our guest blogger today, Philip Reed. I look forward to the rest of his series on spending time with your family. Be sure to visit his links.] –Philip J Reed, on behalf of Daybreak We know what it’s like to not have enough time in the day.  Many of us work long hours to keep our families comfortable and secure, and that may not leave us with as much room for “quality time” as we would like.  Every parent knows how rewarding and important it is to spend time together as a family, and yet we are often overcome with feelings of guilt because sometimes that time just doesn’t seem to exist. For that reason, we have decided to put together this [...]
