Marriage includes a spouse, and often children. But the goal, center, and purpose of marriage is not self, spouse, or children. The ultimate goal of marriage and family is the glory of God. Only when marriage and family exist for God's glory - and not to serve as replacement idols - are we able to truly love and be loved. Remember, neither your child nor your husband (or wife) should be who you worship, but instead who you worship with.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.

If you really want to be a rebel, get a job, cut your grass, read your bible, and shut up. Because no one is doing that.

Faith is not just what we believe internally. It's how we behave externally.

Are you letting culture, not scripture, determine your sexuality, how you date, how you present yourself, how you engage in certain relationships with members of the opposite sex? We need to be very clear that the way we do life is different than the rest of the world.

I cannot worship the hippie, diaper, halo Christ because I cannot worship a guy I can beat up.

You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.
