Looking Back on Things That Matter
Once the foundation of the marriage is firmly laid, six pillars should be built, which will give any family resilience to withstand the erosion caused by the influence of culture.
Looking Ahead to Things That Last
Think hard about this question for just a moment: what in your life will endure the test of time; what will withstand the ups and downs of the future?
Becoming an Authentic Witness
A few weeks ago my friend posted a picture of a young girl holding a glitter-smeared envelope. His caption read, “My daughter wrote a letter to Jesus and wants to mail it to Him. She said it’s about how much she loves Him. I think I’ll do the same....”
