Are you waiting for Mr./Miss Right? Biblical courting is more than just meeting the "right one" because marriage is about our giving to our spouse. Biblical courting is about looking at a relationship that is directed toward marriage. Biblical courting is about honoring and not possessing someone.

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. - Hebrews 11:1-2

What are you hoping for God to do in your life? Do you have a confident expectation or is your hoping closer to wishing? God loves when we trust Him, in fact it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). God has a good plan for you, but are you willing to trust Him?

But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. - Psalm 33:18

How do strong families stay strong? The five C's to a strong family are covenant, communion, communication, coping and consecration. Is your family standing on the Solid Rock of Jesus Christ?

Sometimes family situations can become stressful and at those times parents may question whether they have the right skills for raising their children. Remember, no matter you situation, whatever deficits we may have as parents, God has more than enough to fill our gaps!

It all has to start with us. The church is place in cities to make sure that families survive and thrive. As a church family we need to be praying for our families.

There are times we walk in great faith and times worry, doubt and fear try to hinder our walk with the Lord. But God wants us to walk in the victory he has already provided and have that confident assurance that He is always with us.

If a gun is not "sighted in" it's aim can be off by a fraction. While that might seem insignificant the result can mean missing the target completely. We need to "sight in" to the Lord so our lives are right on target.

"Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ." - Ephesians‬ ‭4:11-13

God has given his Church the gift of the 5-fold Ministry to equip His Church. Sometimes people operating in competition with these gifts, rendering the church ineffective. However when the five of these gifts settle in one house and honor each other to bring glory to our Father then amazing things can happen

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, let us argue this out, says the Lord. No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool.

Baggage "Our Past" comes in all sizes. Everyone born into this world is born into sin or through the original sin "Adam and Eve". We carry around reminders "Baggage" of our failures our shortcomings and our stupidity! What does God think of our past and is there hope for us?

Galatians 5:22-23 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

Self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit, however it is not always one of the popular fruits among Christians. But when self-control is making our walk as a Christian uncomfortable, it should be a warning sign to us that our life might be getting out of control.
