Elizabeth and I have been working on the last several chapters of our next book, A Couple After God’s Own Heart. I have to say, it’s been quite an exercise! It reminds me of being told, “Don’t pray for patience because you’ll have to go through trials to get it!” Well, all I can say […]

If you or I ever think God cannot use us in mighty ways because of the adversities we have encountered, think again!
