BREAKING NEWS: Your words matter

In James 3:1-12, James writes about the power of the tongue and our words.

One of the marks of an authentic Christian faith is control of our speech.

Husbands: the balance between acceptance and change

We must be careful here. On one hand, it’s a sign of maturity in a marriage to accept the way our spouses are in some areas and not keep crusading for change.
