Marriage was not designed by God to have sexual lust satisfied; it was designed to allow for the full expression of your love through sex. After you say, “I Do,” continue to show your spouse the affection and attention you gave while you were dating. Make a commitment today to your spouse to fulfill his or her needs, and in doing so, you will experience the most intimate relationship you will ever have this side of heaven.

When you fully understand what it means to say, “I Do”, you can view your marriage more thoughtfully and carefully and avoid walking away from your marriage thoughtlessly or carelessly.

There are times when you think you've truly forgiven someone who caused you great pain. Often that pain is masked by the physical distance you have from the person who hurt you. If you were to run into that person today, would the pain of that hurtful event jump up through your emotions and feel as real as it did the day it happened? If yes, then you haven't truly dealt with the root of the issue. Put bitterness behind you forever.

Jesus was given many names to help us understand his character. We can know Him as a counselor when we need wisdom, as a provider when we need strength, and as an eternal father who assures us of what is to come. Only Jesus can give us perfect peace, knowing our eternity is sealed through salvation in Him.

The first name Jesus was given is Wonderful Counselor. He knows everything and reigns over everything. He is certainly qualified to guide us through tough times and important decisions. While it it not wrong to seek professional counsel, remember that only Jesus can give us divine wisdom that will always lead us down the path of righteousness.

As a Christ-follower, you know your life belongs to God. He reveals to you how you can serve and honor Him through prayer and studying His word. Being kingdom-minded in the way you live your life reminds you that death brings joy when you depart for heaven to spend eternity with Jesus.

When you give your life to Jesus, you no longer live for your own desires. You surrender your will, and your life is His to use, however He chooses. You can’t live in a way that pleases God on your own; Jesus Christ lives in you. This is the only way to be in a right relationship with God, so He can be glorified through your life on earth.

In a culture that seeks to divide people based on race, Christians are called to look at all people as created by the very hands of God and worthy of dignity and respect. If we begin to look at people how God looks at people and how the Bible instructs us to look at people, we will start loving everyone regardless of race. And when we do that, we can truly win every race.

Even a cursory reading of Scripture will leave one with an understand that God truly values life. Unfortunately, biblical understanding of life is in short supply right now, which has led to wide-ranging negative affects including abortion. But what if we take the time to learn what God has to say about life? What if we developed a biblical understanding of how to value life? It doesn't have to be a matter of life and death...it can become a matter of life and life.

The Christian life is lived in a world that is hostile to the Gospel, to Jesus, and to Biblical truth. We don’t have to go it alone, don’t need to go it alone, and we really can’t go it alone. Just as Jesus left heaven and came to earth to died on a cross to forgive us of our sin and make us a part of his family, we need to get into community groups so we can link arm to arm with other believers as we walk through life together.
