What Company Do You and Your Spouse Keep?

What Company Do You and Your Spouse Keep?

The company we keep matters. It matters to God, and it matters to us. Proverbs 13:20 says, “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. ”Multiple times in the Bible we find God being very specific in His commands concerning the company someone has.

Saying "Thanks" Versus Being Grateful - Part I

Saying "Thanks" Versus Being Grateful - Part I

We can say "thanks" but not be grateful. We can mouth words but our hearts are elsewhere. We are fixated on ourselves. We have probably all seen this in ourselves. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:2 that people can be "lovers of self... ungrateful." We can even sing a song of thanks while in a worship service at church but inwardly dwell on the hurt and offense we feel toward someone who wronged us the day before. Join Emerson and Jonathan this week in this two part series which starts with how we can be grateful for the tangible things in our lives.

What? Respecting a Disobedient Husband - Part 2
