The Rebranding of Latter-Day Saints to a Christian Denomination: How Should Christians Respond?
Historically, it has been easy to acknowledge that Christianity is one religion and Mormonism is a distinct and separate religious category—like Jehovah’s Witnesses—which do not claim to be Christians.

‘Same Old Stuff’: Focusing our attention on God’s good word

The Power of Music in Your Preschool Classroom
Even if you can’t play an instrument or carry a tune, you can find plenty of ways to use music with your preschoolers. And a good curriculum has great music baked right in! Whether you’re playing an instrument, singing a cappella, or playing purchased music from your mobile device, a laptop, or an old-school boombox, look to music as an influential way to get kids’ attention, help them learn, and positively affect the mood in your room.
