The two videos in this post are thought-provoking. The question is: where is dating found in the Bible? Both of these videos, combined, will run about 13 well-spent minutes. After listening to the videos, you'll discover the answer.... The first video is by an itinerant preacher named Paul Washer. The second video is by another itinerant preacher named Voddie Baucham. Both of these men shoot straight from Scripture and tell it how it is. Both men's sermons are also featured at Monergism.com. I would love to start a dialogue about this. After you've watched the videos, please comment in … [Read more...]
How to Overcome the Difficulty in Saying, “No” to Others
Do you find yourself having a hard time saying, “No” to people? If there is a new project on at your church, are you one of the first people asked to help?

Most of the weddings I've attended over the years have been normal, … [Read more...]
Engaged on a Plane (Marriage Proposal)
Talk about "flying the friendly skies!" This gentleman decided to pop the question at 30,000 feet! My guess is that the bride-to-be was on Cloud 9. (I also hope that they got a free voucher to fly first class!) … [Read more...]
Conflict in Relationships (Doing Confrontation Well)
When I was a child, I dreamed of my future husband. I wondered what he would look like, what he would do for a living, and I wondered what kind of a life we would have together. Because it was my fantasy, I also dreamed of all the good times we would have and did not spend much time considering the bad times. When I would see couples fight, I would think, "Wow, I'm so glad my marriage won't be like that!" People often do not dwell on the bad times to come when they are considering marriage; yet, some do based on what they have experienced from other marriages. However, most of us look … [Read more...]
