In most of the modern world, romance is thought of as something that happens before marriage.

Time to Register for Fall Classes
Yes, I’ve seen them—all those precious (and sometimes funny) back-to-school pictures popping up all over social media. Next week I’ll get to add my own (and final) one as my youngest starts her senior year. Aaacckkk! Where does the time go?

Knowing God’s Heart
LESSON 3 If you’ve been praying long enough, you’ve probably experienced the high of answered prayer—a tumor that miraculously disappears, a surgery that goes far better than expected, the return of a prodigal, or the birth of a long-awaited child. But what about those times the prayers go unanswered? When it feels as if God …
Knowing Whose We Are
Today we begin our online class on prayer. I hope when you join us each week you will not only read the lesson, but will use it as a springboard for further study. Each lesson will include homework questions to help you dig deeper into what we’ve talked about. I will also include a weekly …
Online Prayer Class Coming Soon
Knees to the Earth. What comes to mind when you hear that phrase? Desperation?Humility? Reverence?
