Why should I get married?

01Dec09

This past Sunday we finished our singles series at NewSpring Chruch entitled “don’t get married until.”  If you are interested in watching the messages from this series you can view them here.

In light of that series, I have had many conversations with people that ask me this question: How do you know when you’ve found the right one?

Here are my thoughts on that question…You should only get married because you know (not think) that God has called you to marry this person. You should get married because you realize that you can never go as far, or accomplish as much alone for God as you can with this person. That is when you know that you’ve found the right one.

So what are some practical ways that you can know?

Jesus Is Coming Back

The truth that Jesus is coming back was the focus of my most recent article for the Anderson Independent:

Jesus is coming back. I don’t know if that has been something you have thought about this week, but it is true. One of the main topics we get questions about at our church is the End Times, and what the Bible has to say about the return of Christ.

Q: I have an addiction to pornography and I know I need to take steps to stopping it. i was wondering if you could tell me how to stop the habit.  It would be great to know what someone else has done that has helped them overcome this issue.

Q&A: Are My Dreams Sinful?

22Sep09

Q: I am a married man and very much in love with my wife.  We communicate well and there are no secrets between us.  I mention that because I want you to understand that she and I have already spoken about this and she knows everything.I am faithful to my wife and we are very intentional and conscientious about living lives that draw us closer to God.  While I have always been faithful in flesh, I have had a string of recent dreams where I have been adulterous.
