Today's Devotional


No one, no matter how successful in this life, can claim victory over death all on his or her own.
We may climb our ladders of achievement, of higher education, of financial prosperity, of athletic reputation, of faithful and diligent responsibility, of integrity in business, of high moral standards.

But only through faith in Christ do we have the assurance of hope beyond the grave.

-Charles Swindoll


Romans 6:8 If we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him.

What are your kids listening to?

I once had a son with an iPod and Zune. I too spent a lot of time looking up lyrics and deleting songs! Do what you can Moms and Dads. Read on....

Recently, I asked my son for his iPod so I could check out the songs he was listening to. I Googled the lyrics for the songs, and most were just fine. But I did find a couple that weren't. I sat down with him and showed him the objectionable lyrics. While reading through the words, I think we were both a bit surprised at the coarse language, degradation of women and sexual content in the lyrics.

After he deleted those songs from his iPod, we talked about not supporting these so-called artists by buying that kind music, and about the importance of keeping those kinds of messages out of our hearts and minds. Check out some wholesome alternatives to today's artists with our Family Music Chart, or read the lyrics on our iMOM Music Monitor (click the link below to access the music chart & monitor).
