The Meaning of Marriage
Posted by: | Comments
For the past three days, Focus on the Family has been interviewing Tim and Kathy Keller about their recently released book, The Meaning of Marriage. The interviews have been wonderful, and very insightful. Whether you are just starting out in a marriage, or you’ve been married for 35+ years like the Kellers, you will find a wealth of help in the Focus on the Family audios (an mp3 downloadable version is just $1.99). Tim Challies noted that the book, available through Westminster Bookstore (and currently 41% off), is his favorite book on the subject of marriage, and his favorite book overall for the year of 2011. Wow!

Failing as a Mom
Posted by: | Comments
Sometimes as moms we fail on a very large scale. Most of us don’t have any problem admitting that we fail on a regular basis. Strangely enough, when we get stuck focusing solely on our failures, we actually manage to make things worse!
The moms from the Mob Society have put together a book designed to help us turn our focus from our failures to God’s grace. This book is now available through Amazon for just $2.99 as a Kindle edition.
Best of all, “All of the proceeds (every penny) will go to bring the Word of God to the people of the DRC through the ministry of The Seed Company.” (The Seed Company was launched by Wycliffe Bible Translators in 1993.)

What is Success?
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been feeling like a loser lately. Ever been there? My eyes have been focused on the success of others, rather than on God. If you find yourself in the same place right now, let me point you over to Sue Miley’s article, Beware of False Signs of Success. Sometimes we all need to be reminded of what true success really is.
Determining God’s Will
Posted by: | CommentsWe have a couple of friends right now who are looking for new employment opportunities. While my husband and I are not looking at making any work changes, we are considering how God may want to use us differently when it comes to ministry.
If you find yourself trying to determine God’s will for your life in either work on ministry, I would encourage you to check out R.C. Sproul’s short series, Knowing God’s Will in Your Life. The series is currently available for free listening. Simply visit Ligonier.org, click on the green “Audio Broadcast” button, and scroll down the right hand menu for recently aired programs. Related broadcasts include January 16-19. While the series won’t give you a “magic” key for determining God’s will, it will help you to think more clearly about the direction in which God desires to lead you.
Let us know what you think!
