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

We need to pay attention to the questions non-Christians are asking, and the conversations that Christians are having.

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.

Ladies, use a loving voice, use a respectful voice, use a godly voice, but don't lose your voice.

You wanna be counter-culture? You wanna be a total rebel? Get a job! You wanna be counter-culture, totally alternative, radical? Be a virgin until you get married...to a person of the opposite gender. And then stay married and pump out some kids and pay your taxes and read the Bible, you freak. You'll be just totally a rebel.

Study the Bible like a soldier on a mission, not a scholar on a sabbatical.

Spirituality, without the Holy Spirit, is demonic.
