The lights dim. The honeymoon romance is hot. Jimmy is a Christian stud, one in a million guy. Jenny is gorgeous, every hair perfectly in place, a smile always on her face, the kind of girl every guy wants. Everyone sighs. Why can’t we all have love like this? This is how it was meant […]
How Becoming a Disciple of Jesus, NOT a Pretender, Helps You Win at Life and Girls

How to Turn Your Spouse From a Fire-Breathing, Evil Monster Into a Regular Person
I’m sure we’ve all seen the cliche. A couple screaming at each other — red-faced and angry, insults hurled in every direction, and one turns into a fire-breathing, evil monster and consumes the other. Or wait. A peaceful meal around the table, chatting over half sandwiches and pleasantries, a thinly-veiled accusation is suggested along with grey […]
