The Love of God
The Love of God

February’s devotionals are designed to help you lead your family into a deeper understanding of the love of God—not as a feeling, but as God reveals it in Scripture: covenantal, sacrificial, faithful, and transforming. Throughout the month, you’ll trace that love from the Old Testament, through its fullest expression in Jesus Christ, and into the daily life of those who follow Him. The goal is not just to talk about love, but to recognize it, trust it, and live it. The month is anchored by the memory verse, Romans 5:8: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse reminds us that God’s love does not wait for worthiness or improvement—He loved first. Returning to it throughout the month helps keep love firmly rooted in the gospel.

Who's Talking to Your Children & the Danger of Silence
Who's Talking to Your Children & the Danger of Silence

With so many heart-breaking stories and so many polarizing responses, we find ourselves paralyzed. Not knowing what to say or even how to move forward, we end up doing nothing, saying nothing. This is a problem. Silence in the face of brokenness is dangerous. And when we bring that into the home, our family becomes lost, searching for a response we failed to provide, and finding only the best counsel the world has to offer.
