Secrets to a Lasting Love
One of the television shows I’m currently watching is called “The 100.” Like most of my favorite shows, it involves the end of the world. This time, there was some sort of nuclear war and a small remnant of humanity escaped to outer space to live in a giant space station, cobbled together by connecting the 10 or so space stations from different countries that were in orbit at the time. It’s been 97 years since the war and supplies…
Love is Not Easily Angered
Have you ever said something you regretted in the heat of the moment? We’ve probably all done it. Maybe it was an argument with a loved one. Or perhaps it was in a meeting when you get frustrated and angry. There are times in our life when anger bubbles up to the surface when you least want it to.

Loving Like Jesus Loves Me
Whenever we discipline our children, it’s important to us that they understand why they were disciplined. It’s not enough to just know they “made a bad choice”, but that they can tell us what specifically the bad choice was. It’s a way of learning what the right behavior is that we expect from them. Hopefully, this leads to better choices in the future. Doing what’s right and understanding why it’s right are different things. Jesus gave lots of instructions to…
Love Matters Most
Confession time: I’m not really a big basketball fan. However, I’m significantly more interested in the Cleveland Cavaliers since LeBron James decided to return to Cleveland. I remember when he first arrived there and immediately there were comparisons between him and the legends of the game, especially Michael Jordan. Now, as he has developed into an even better player, there are even more comparisons. For whatever reason, we like to talk about who or what is the greatest. A quick…
