REMINDER
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.


-1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

"...and Again I say, "Rejoice"!


About two years ago my wife walked out on me. I was blessed by so much love and support from Christian brothers and sisters. I was also inundated with worldly advice and counsel from these same brothers and sisters. Today, I stand in amazement at what many otherwise strong believers were suggesting. (Divorce is a brutal issue for Christians and they simply didn't know better.)

Praise God I was led to Rejoice Marriage Ministries where I found biblically sound answers to the challenges that were beseiging my life. Further, I have also been blessed to receive daily encouragement for over two years from this ministry that has helped me to stay focused on God and His Word when the world would like to call me away.

There is a biblical answer for people in the midst of divorce. Responding to Satan's attack in the world's way will derail a life into a series of ever expanding defeats. Godly counsel will take this adversity and transform a man or woman in God's hands into a servant who brings glory to Him.

And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
- Romans 5:2-5

Pretty much a sinner through and through. I have two daughters and a son. God has blessed me over and over on a scale that defies any relationship to my faithfulness to Him. I'm just trying to do right by the people I know and love more of them better, (while practicing hard at being a grumpy old man.)
