Parenting in the 2010’s is challenging — imagine what it’s going to be like in the 2020’s! God have mercy on all of us parents. In rapidly changing world where evil is easily and instantly accessible to our children, we need divine guidance to raise our children!

Whether you’re in a romantic relationship, or still looking for Mr/Mrs Right, or married with many years under your belt, there are always opportunities to become a better friend, partner, and lover. However, in this sinful world, a healthy intimate relationship takes intentionality, wisdom, and just good old fashioned hard work. God has designed us for intimacy, so He can also tell us the principles needed for a healthy relationship.

Our origin story is fundamental to who we become. But it doesn’t have to be the final story. In fact, if we’re not with God, our origin story is way too small. Understanding our origins is helpful, but especially so when we see it through God’s eyes.

When we are in right relationship with our money, it can make an eternal difference. Jesus said, “Give and it will be given back to you.” Be inspired to Fully Rely on God and watch what he’ll do with our five loaves and two fishes!

How are we at managing our money? Or is our money managing us? Do we have assets? Or do our assets have us? Do we live to make money or make money to live? Our relationship to money is very intimate and personal. We consider how we can have a healthy relationship with money, one that will last a lifetime.

Peter and Cornelius, two very different men. One a Jew, one a gentile; one an apostle, one a military general; one clean, the other unclean; but both received the Holy Spirit.

In the parable of the unmerciful servant we are outraged by a man who is forgiven millions of dollars but immediately demands $5 from someone who owes him. Who would possibly act this way?

David and Bathsheba, we know the story all too well. At least the sin part . . . but do we know the salvation part and the son that died for him?
