Learning To Love is the Big Lesson of Life Learning to love is the big lesson of life. You and I may have never met before, still, we have much in common. Even in our differences we have similarities. For instance, we might live in different parts of the world, however, we both assimilate our perceptions and attitudes about society from the culture in which we are brought up. This is true of the culture of our home, church, school,... Read more

The Way of Escape in Scripture When facing trouble or trauma, who doesn’t want “the way of escape.” “For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such...

Come and Dine!

Come and dine! I like the way that sounds in 1907. Charles B. Widmeyer (1894-1974) first published his song by that name. It soon became a staple of revival services and camp meetings. It was recorded about 20 years later by a quartet called “The Happy Four.” There is a great deal to be said about the call to eat together and to be happy about it. The theme of the song is taken from John 21. After Jesus’ resurrection,... Read more

Forgiveness in Marriage

Last updated on: October 29, 2024 at 2:12 pm By Ken Shelton

Marriage is a wonderful God-ordained institution filled with situations requiring forgiveness. If a person has trouble forgiving, they will most likely have a difficult time in marriage. From forgetting special occasions to messing up airplane reservations, all the way to checking out of difficult conversations, to badgering, to flirting with a member of the opposite sex or having an affair, being married presents more opportunities to practice and perfect forgiveness than most any other type of relationship. In a healthy... Read more

Marriage Under Pressure When you have a marriage under pressure, little things turn into bigger things, a spat becomes a fight, and both parties feel the need to win. This is Part 6 of “7 Steps To A Healthy Marriage.” When a young couple starts, they are often amazed at the number of things they have in common.

Healthy couples worship together. Here are 2 questions to think about: What is worship? Can church attendance make relationships healthier? Those are 2 very different questions. The 1st question refers to worship and the 2nd deals with church attendance. Christian worship is both a personal and corporate experience. In the Bible and throughout history, groups of like-minded worshipers set aside a day, time, place, and style of worship to God. Today, while the day, time, and place are fairly consistent, Christian... Read more
