- What Makes a Good Friend? By:-Paul Schlieker
"Good ol' Charlie Brown" pays a visit to Lucy's five-cent sidewalk psychiatric stand. He says to his would-be counselor, "I can't help it. I feel lonely, depressed." Everyone needs friends. Let's explore 9 characteristics of a good friend from Proverbs.
- Domestic Violence By:-Nellie Shani
Violence that is perpetrated within the walls of the home is the most devastating kind of violence that one can imagine. The word "home" should conjure up feelings of security and safety. When that supposed "haven of peace and tranquility is violated through violence, then we have as it were, no where to run. Home should be a place that we can run to for repose after being out there in the "rough and tumble" world. A place where we feel accepted and loved.

What does obedience really mean and how can parents teach their children to obey? According to the Oxford Dictionary, to obey means to comply with the command, direction or request of a person (in this case, the parents).

- The Need To Belong By:-Nellie Shani
Every child born into this world, needs the assurance that he belongs to a family who wants and loves him or her. It is believed that during the first year of our lives the need to belong is very dominant. God has intended that parents play the role of providing this need to belong and to feel loved. If for whatever reason our parents failed to minister to the need to belong, as we become adults, certain social and behavioral problems may start to manifest in our lives. This deprivation may cause some “cracks” to start showing in the very foundation of our existence.
- Child Molestation By:-Nellie Shani
It is easy to harm a child because children are weak, helpless, scared, dependent, trusting and naïve. They idolize adults and in most cases believe that whatever an adult tells them must be the right thing. Their innocent eyes look at things at face value.
