Christian Marriage 206
“Contentment” Maybe you remember being a young child and one of your parents telling you to “Eat your food! There are starving kids in the world who would love that! Be thankful for what you have!” They usually said that when … Continue reading
Christian Marriage 205

Christian Marriage 204

Christian Marriage 102
“The Issue of Image” The issue of image is a serious struggle. It’s not only prevalent, it’s poisonous. Image emphasizes partial truths. Consider some of the narrow areas that often define a person’s image: relative success in a job, physical appearance, race, … Continue reading
