Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more

Husbands, Love Your Wives

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 21, 2020

Paul commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. If men are to be the fathers the Lord expects, we must first be the husbands He expects. We can't love our children as we should if our love for our wives is lacking.

Daniel's Prayer Of Confession, Part 2

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 6, 2020

All of us have to say sorry to God. Daniel's prayer has much to teach about saying sorry. In particular, Daniel accepts that he shares responsibilty for the sin of his people.

That might be a mistake, but even if you can’t, I don’t think it should be too much of a problem for following my talk today. At the end of last week’s ...read more
