When it comes to video games, it can be helpful to look beyond the rating and ask a few deeper questions. Consider the characters your child is spending time with, whether the game's violence is simply part of the story or the main attraction, and whether the game uses features like endless rewards, in-game purchases, or other tactics designed to keep kids playing longer than they intended. The go...

Even as He prepared to suffer and give His life, the disciples were focused on status and recognition, but Jesus reminded them that true greatness is found in serving others, sacrificing, and following His example. Discipleship isn't just about learning more about Jesus. It's about becoming more like Him. As we use our influence to lov...
