The Power of Jesus Christ in Our Lives Every Day
What gives someone the power to go through hard things? I need to fix my life before I come to Jesus. … {We don’t come to Jesus because we are strong, we come to be strengthened.} One of the mistakes we make is to think that the covenants we make are transactional—I keep my covenant…

Preserving the Voice of the Covenant People in the Rising Generation

In Partnership with the Lord
Husband and wife walk side by side as equal partners, not as president and vice president with one walking half a step ahead on some or all things. This becomes extra hard when one stops walking and refuses to work in tandem. Laura and I should study this talk together.
