What do Miami and Ephesus have in common? Money, sex and power. There is nothing wrong with that!

What kind of world do you want to live in? What kind of marriage and family do you want to have? What kind of church do you want to be a part of? What’s your part in all of it? It can be all about you… or you can live as to the Lord and treat others the way you’d like to be treated.

Imagine people in your world who support you with life-giving words, prayer, kind actions and love. How does that feel?

deceived by something or someone? Being misled or misdirected into believing things that are not

fully true is costly, and it can rob us of precious hope. So when dreams die, where can you go for

hope to rise again?

Busyness. Shallow lives. Cluttered minds. Sound familiar? What are we to do with the competing
