Summary

In this powerful message, we're challenged to view our children as a precious gift from God, not just as our own possessions. The key scripture, Psalm 127, reminds us that 'children are a heritage from the Lord.' This perspective shift invites us to see parenting as a sacred stewardship rather than a burden. The metaphor of children as arrows is particularly striking - it suggests that our role is to shape, aim, and ultimately release our children towards God's purpose. This imagery encourages us to parent intentionally, aiming our children 'nobly' towards God's glory rather than worldly success. As we reflect on this, we're prompted to examine our own parenting styles. Are we cultivating an environment where our children can flourish spiritually? Are we rooting them in faith that will sustain them long after they leave our homes? This message isn't just for parents - it's a call for all of us to value and nurture the next generation, recognizing that in doing so, we're participating in God's ongoing work in the world.

Time Zone - A free audiobook by Tom Lichtenberg Tom Lichtenberg In this podiobook: This is not your father's time travel. There's no machine, there is no dial. There's no telling where or when you'll go. The only thing that can change is you. It will make you what it needs to make you, to fit you in, to make it work. And when you come back, that is if you come back, it won't be the same you at all. You're messing with the nature of things, and the nature of things does not like to be messed with, as Garrett Ronson and his friends find out, the hard way.
