The Well

When crisis hits, even strong marriages can fracture. In this gripping episode of FamilyLife Today, pastor-therapist couple Jim and Angela Davis share with Dave and Ann Wilson the story of their marriage after a heart attack: how trauma tested their vows, faith, and identity, and how grace rewove the threads. Their journey through fear, recovery, and rediscovery offers hope for anyone asking, “Can love survive the unthinkable?” Honest and healing, find how faith turns pain into purpose and rebuilds connection that lasts.

Ever try to run up a downward escalator? Sounds silly, but kids try it all the time, just to see if they can. When we try to fight against the lures of temptation on our own strength, we’re running up a downward escalator. The momentum against us is just too much. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us change escalators and embrace the power and provision of God through prayer. When we’re moving in the same direction as the Spirit of God, the journey is much easier.

Transferable Concept #4: Teach them to make WISE choices.

A theology of holiness

• God is high and holy, “TOTALLY other.” -Rev 4:8-11
• God is absolute TRUTH. -Jn 14:6
• God’s WORD defines absolute truth. -Jn 17:17
• God’s LAW (morals) are for our protection. -Ps 119
• God’s ultimate aim is to make us HOLY. -Rom 8:29
• Old Testament roots -Ex 3:5-6; Is 6:1-8
• Biblical profiles: Moses, Stephen
• New Testament command: 1 Pt 1:15-16

Help them learn to make wise choices:

1. Encourage them to saturate their minds with the TRUTH. The Bible, great books, videos

-Rom 8:5-8, Jn 8:32

2. Encourage them to HANG OUT with wise, godly people. -Pr 13:20

3. Model for them how to ASK GOD for discernment and wisdom. -Ph 1:9-11, Jas 1:5

4. Teach them to monitor their EXPOSURE to the media.-Rom 12:2

Life message: Holy living allows you to experience God’s BEST for your life.

If you want to see a living portrait of faith, look no further than Joseph. We’ve all been let down or disappointed before. Plans we made got changed, someone canceled on us at the last minute, and maybe there were a few hard feelings. The next time that happens, let’s take a lesson from Joseph, step out in faith, and let God do what He does best. Joseph’s story comes your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his series, “The Art of Christmas.”
