Don't cohabitate. Don't fornicate. Don't look at pornography. Don't create a standard of beauty. Have your spouse be your standard of beauty. This is one of the great devastating effects of pornography: you lust after people and compare your spouse to them. It's impossible to be satisfied in your marriage if you don't have a standard that is biblical; that standard is always your spouse.

We're not to follow our hearts, we're to guard our hearts.

You don't need to beat yourself up in order to make God love you. Jesus already took your beating.

Don't believe false teaching that says you won't suffer if you really love Jesus. Jesus will end all suffering eventually, but on earth he suffered more than anyone.

Looking for a word from the Lord? Believe that he has already spoken, and read what he's already written.

Fathers need to be tough and tender...you be tough for your family, be tender with your family. You protect them, and you be a safe place.
