    book review: power with purpose, god’s design for power dynamics in marriage by david r. dunham and Krista dunham

    Power with Purpose is the first book I’ve read which addresses marriage in a more comprehensive biblical manner.

    Sin Has A Long Reach

    Sin is not the number one topic we go to in conversations. As Followers of Christ, we know we are sinners, but we sure don’t want to talk about it. We don’t want sin to be our identity. Actually, sin is not our identity but Christ is. However, if we tell others about our sin,…

    Here comes life and all that comes with it!  What do we do when we’re facing various circumstances?  How do we handle life?  How do we know where to turn?  We begin to ask ourselves in the midst of our distress, “Is God enough”?  That question should really be followed by the question, “What does…
