That Is Why We Have To Be Made New – Daily Devotional – May 31st, 2015

May 31, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: For in thy sight shall no man living be justified. David asks God not to judge him. He knows that God would never see him as justified or right. There is nothing in David that would make God approve of Him. David has sinned and […]

Psalm 119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; And quicken thou me in thy way. We want God to help us realize it when we are looking at things of empty to no value, vanity! This world has so much that is of no true value. It looks good, it is appealing. Everyone wants […]

Couples Retreat: Shut up and let the Bible Speak

May 28, 2015 By Robert Canfield Leave a Comment

Communication is an extremely important aspect of marriage. We need to know what the other is thinking and feeling. This need is often emphasized in books about marriage.
