A Father’s Love

by Scott Chafee on August 4th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
Posted In: Men of Steel, Parenting

Saw this just today; if you are a father, you’ll understand. There is a much larger illustration of God’s love for us. I barely understood the love of God until I became a father.

Dad-Daughter Date Night

by Scott Chafee on July 19th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Posted In: Men of Steel, Parenting

Men, we need to date our daughters. Think about it, if we want them to be respected on dates when they get into high school, we need to take them out on dates to show them what to expect out of a boy who wants to date her. If he doesn’t measure up, she needs […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

A Father’s Day Prayer

May this Father’s Day be the best. Leadership is influence, so men, lead your children to love God and follow in your example. Pursue Christ and allow him to change you into the dad you need to be for your kids, and the kingdom’s sake.

Preparation for Father’s Day

by Scott Chafee on June 16th, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Posted In: Parenting

This Sunday is Father’s Day, so plan ahead accordingly. You may have seen this video but it puts the focus on all the things dad’s do, for no credit at all. Take pride in being the dad God has called you to be, faithful, available and teachable.

I always want to offer helpful ideas, stories and suggestions to help us all become better husbands and fathers. Check out this story I read about this week. A young man once told about an unusual present he received from his father. As a young boy, he peeled back the layers of wrapping paper from […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Making Responsible Choices

by Scott Chafee on March 31st, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Posted In: Devotion, Parenting, Teenagers

I was a part of the student group last night; Craig Goodmurphy led a presentation about teenagers making responsible choices during these developmental years. While a lot of the information probably went in one ear and out the other, he presented scientific details about the development of neural pathways. Drugs and alcohol have a significant […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Importance of Good Modeling

by Scott Chafee on March 12th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Posted In: Men of Steel, Parenting

I saw this today and needed to pass it on. Be warned, I consider this R-rated. I don’t condone any of the ugliness you will see here, but in order to help parents see how their behaviors and attitudes are passed down to the next generation, it is extremely important to view this.

Posted In: Parenting, Worship

We are building a dynamic children’s ministry at King’s Grant, and have a creative, passionate and gifted Director of Children’s Ministries, Katie Goodmurphy. Since we have introduced our children into the corporate cross-generational worship experience, sometimes adults and parents don’t know how to help our kids connect to what is going on.

The Son of a Pharisee

by Scott Chafee on September 4th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Posted In: Leadership, Men of Steel, Parenting, To Live is Christ

It’s probably a verse you have come to know over the course of your Christian life. We quote it around Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and use it to remind parents of their responsibility to raise godly children; it does not happen just because we take our kids to church.
