“What’s the Point?”
Have you ever had a moment when you asked that question of total confusion? You may have just thrown your hands up in the air and said (silently or very vocally), “What’s the point?” We often think that question, and we do so at various times in our lives. Maybe your marriage is shaky, and your spouse is even showing signs of “tuning out” of the relationship. Maybe your ideas are not taken seriously in planning sessions at your job. Maybe you feel “stuck” in a career that isn’t giving you the type of fulfillment you thought it might. Maybe you are fighting to get out of debt, only to…

Friday Links Roundup: “Live from Henderson, It’s iPreach!” Edition

Freed-Hardeman has granted us the ability to do a live version of iPreach from the FHU Student Center! We will begin about 8:45 Tuesday night, and anyone and…

7 "P's" That Will Improve Your Home
We are involved in a series on the home at Lebanon Road, and so most of what we are doing is promoting the use of our home life to glorify God. (The picture is of our PowerPoint title slide.) We have looked at the God-ordained fact of marriage, some principles for dating, and some encouraging words for those who are single. On Sunday, Lord willing, we will look at marriage. Since we are focused on that subject, I thought of some things for our Wednesday list that might help improve your home. To help, they all start with “P.” I hope you’ll add to the list in the comments! 1. Prayer.…
