A La Carte (April 6)

The Fallout of Failed Marriages – John MacArthur: “The best way to defend and uphold God’s design for marriage and family is not through political or legal action—it’s through the living testimony of a faithful, righteous adherence to God’s design.”

What Happens If All The Bees Die? – Answer? Lots of bad stuff. And isn’t it amazing how intricately God has made this world…

    Why Not Use a Daily Liturgy for Your Devotions?

    Trends come and go. Certain habits or interests rise for a time, wane, then rise again, often at unexpected moments.
