For the month of July I am making a special offer via the Horizons Ezine (which just went out last night). I am offering the Mending Marriages e-book for just $7.00.
Susan and I continue to be reminded that people need wisdom for developing godly relationships, especially in a day when all kinds of damaging relationships [...]

This is the day that … Henry VIII was excommunicated by the Pope of Rome. It was 1533.
He was 42 years of age, had sat upon the throne of England since 1509 … and (in 1521) had been awarded the title “Defender of the Faith” - by Pope Leo X!

This is the day that … Thomas Cranmer was born in 1489.
He was Archbishop of Canterbury at the time of England’s stormy break with the Church of Rome.

Police raided the exhibition last Thursday and seized some of the images of naked 12 and 13 year old children. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd spoke out against the display, while the artistic community defended the show. Questions emerge such [...]

I recently noticed a sweet little summary of marriage in the Bible, that I had not noticed before. I like what it says and it gives me a fresh handle on some things I have been teaching and new things I need to bring out in my teaching. So, here’s a look at “Marriage in [...]

Someone who I discussed these recent posts with identified with what I have written and she had a cute way of describing the situation. She said, “I kissed the frog, and he’s STILL a frog!” This is the disappointment many young wives and husbands have about their spouse.
