In the last month, we have been with college students discussing the way to deal with hindrances to loving relationships, have met with couples to investigate the value of real communication to a healthy marriage and to discuss marriage ministry options, have preached in a wonderful church in Austell and spent the evening service discussing vision for reaching a community via effective marriage ministry, and had the privilege of meeting for 4 days with a former pastor couple who see God's hope for their marriage and ministry.
As I was told once upon a time, "If that won't start your fire, your wood's wet!"
All 5 participant couples are making progress....some slow and methodical, others have made some great jumps toward greater love in their homes and ministries. Truly, we give the honor and praise to our Savior Jesus Christ. His love is the motivation and His Spirit provides the power. We know that God's Word provides the truth that sets us free to love and be loved as we are designed.
I give God praise and I thank you for caring about marriages (your own and others), about us, and about the kingdom of God. May His "kingdom come" and His "will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
We simply want to equip millions of people to be ready when Jesus returns and to be found watching from hearts that are pure and lifestyles that are loving. I Timothy 1:5
