What difference does a shadow make? Our words and our actions send out ripples that have an influence on others. Often that influence is unconscious, but it is also irrevocable. As members of the family of God, we need to stay close to the Light so that we will cast as long a shadow of godly influence as we can.

If your marriage is in trouble, or you are struggling with your singleness or dealing with the devastation of divorce, any of these circumstances can make your view of God less clear. When that happens, we need to remember that God is in the business of healing, cleansing, and forgiving, and that He delights in being a God of second chances and new beginnings.

Whatever we do for God is worthless if it is not motived by love.

I do. I will. The vows repeated by the bride and groom in a marriage ceremony are more than just promises they make to one another.
