    Again we must know what God is saying to us about a particular situation, and we must not assume we know what He is going to say. Jesus allowed divorce for unfaithfulness (Matthew 19:9), but he does not demand it. If trust can be reestablished, 70% of marriages can survive one affair. There are ...read more

    I don’t think its any mistake that John Eldridge writes in his book the Sacred Romance: “It is a rare soul indeed who has been sought after for who she is - not because of what she can do, or what others gain from her, but simply for herself.

    A VIEW OF SUFFERING Yes, suffering is the enemy of the average American. In America, Christians pray for the burden of suffering to be lifted from their backs.

    "Discipleship is like the generation gap between parents and children: We often tell kids to grow up. They can’t grow up. They need mentoring. They can’t grow up because they’ve never been there before. We as parents, have been there. The goal is not for them to grow up but for us to become ...read more

    The Bridger Generation, those born between ‘77 and ‘94 and the second largest generation in history, is growing up in homes with no moral certainty, no absolutes, no sense of why right is right and wrong is wrong, and no certain hope for eternal life and God’s abiding presence today. Christians can ...read more
