I know I’m going to get in trouble with someone somewhere about this. Oh well; here goes. There is a lot of talk within the body of Christ telling us we need to love ourselves more. This is based on something Jesus said: And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with…
Have you ever had a friend, maybe even a long-term friend from childhood or college, turn on you? I sure the heck have. Here you thought you two were cool and there weren’t any major issues.

Last week, I shared my experience with the 5-Day Challenge to Pray For Your Future Spouse. It wasn’t so much praying for a mate, but being ready for a real marriage. #pfyfs sparked all sorts of positive responses from hundreds of participants who realized how much they needed it.
