Remember when you and your spouse noticed each other, and maybe even became "twitterpated" (Bambi movie reference)? Has anything changed since then? We hope so! Gary Thomas, the author of Sacred Marriage says, "Romantic love has no elasticity to it. It can never be stretched; it simply shatters. Mature love, the kind demanded of a good marriage, must stretch, as the sinful human condition is such that all of us bear conflicting emotions." Fundamentally, we…

Do you need a better space to live? It’s not just the paper, but the clothes, the toys, the gadgets — all those things we haven’t used in months or years. Usually, we are holding onto them either because we are too lazy (or busy) to clean it, or we have that “lack mentality". You know, the thinking that tells us to hoard…just in case...? If you haven’t used it in a year, then you don’t…

The world is full of things that hurt our hearts. A child is mocked at school, a widow painfully remembers the moment her husband took his last breath, parents grieve over a rebellious son, a wife anguishes over her husband's unfaithfulness.... Heartaches cause some people to drop out of life. Other hurting people go to the opposite extreme, trying to lose themselves in a flurry of activity to escape the pain. Jesus' heart was breaking…
