Teach Your Kids the Truth!

Parents, it’s time to get serious. Don’t perpetuate the lie that your kids can be whoever they want to be. They can’t, and neither can you. Instead, teach them to embrace reality. Show them how to identify their strengths 💪 and weaknesses, to cultivate humility 🙏 and wisdom 🧠, and to understand the difference between what they can achieve and what they cannot. Aspire for them to grow into adulthood with maturity 👨‍🏫, rather than lingering in the perpetual adolescence our culture so often glorifies. 👶➡️🧑

The statement “I can be whoever I want to be” has birthed a generation of confused 🤯 and entitled individuals. These are the delicate snowflakes ❄️ who melt at the mere suggestion that boys can’t be girls and girls can’t be boys, or worse, those who think they’re a cat. Meow to you too!

The Bible tells us to be who God wants us to be, conformed to the image of Christ 📖✝️ (Romans 8:29).

Christ is the true and better Happy Meal—savor Him daily 🍔✨ and teach your children to do the same.

New Blog Post by

Dwelling in Christ:
Psalm 23 is the most common verse you find on wall hanging posters and other paraphernalia in a Christian bookstore. And yet, it is sometimes surprising how something can be so familiar while yet so unexplored.

What is the purpose of the local church? Why should Christians be a part of a local church? In the internet age, must one be a part of the physical church? If I can be a part of intercollegiate fellowships such as UESI, do I need to be part of the local church?

In the first-ever round of The Cross Purpose Forum X, held in Trivandrum, Mike takes us through one of those subjects we at TCP are most passionate about.
