Weekend, March 7, 2020 Unburdened For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2:8–9 nkjv) I love the fact that the Bible frequently uses the word save. That is what God wants to do. He wants to save us from our sins. He wants to forgive us of all the awful things we've done, wipe our slates clean, and give us fresh lives—new lives. But what does that mean? Someone might say, "I think I'm a Christian. I come from a Christian family." That doesn't make you a Christian. There has to be a moment in your life when you realize that you're a sinner in need of a Savior. Jesus is ready to rescue you. He's ready to save you. But you must come to Him, admit your sin, and be sorry for it. Then put your faith in Jesus and throw all your burdens on Him. I came to Christ at age seventeen. I prayed with Christians at a meeting and asked Jesus into my life. I really didn't know what I was doing that day. But I do remember this very distinctly: I felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from me. CONTINUE READING →

10 Most Dangerous Apps That Parents Need to Know Jaime Jo Wright Did you know that one of the kid's most popular apps gives complete strangers access to chat with them online? Were you aware that another often used app introduces your child to soft porn? And what if someone told you that "kid" profiles on streaming media apps are only as kid-proof as your child's ignorance? One might not consider the dangers of such apps like Fortnite, Snapchat, and Netflix, but beware, they are worth considering. At the time this article is written, there are 78.3 million Fornite users, 186 million Snapchat users, and 151 million Netflix subscribers. The odds your children will remain unaffected by these and other apps, are highly unlikely. It's not a new conversation, this "be careful what your kids download" subject. But often, parents request a list of the most dangerous apps so they can easily safeguard their child. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as a Top 10, and even the "safe" apps can become dangerous. So as parents, we need to be vigilant. As someone who has worked in the wireless industry for seventeen years, I recommend three important parental filters: 1. Know your child--do they communicate openly with you, or are they private? 2.You own the phone (or tablet)--just because it's "theirs" doesn't mean it's off-limits. Have you set the expectation that you can look through their phone any time? 3. Just because it's "Kid Safe", doesn't mean it is--have you researched the app? Your electronic devices can be fabulous additions to your family's options for entertainment and education. But a major error many parents make is trusting someone else—namely the app developer—to rate the potential harm for your child. But, as a mom, not just someone who works in the industry, I've found that some of the safer apps are also important to not disregard. It's time to learn about some potential dangers lurking in your child's bedroom that would rival any boogeyman. Photo Credit: ©GettyImages/vejaa CONTINUE READING →
