    Our Greatest Promise (Part 2)

    Happy Friday, my friends! Let’s finish what we started on Wednesday.

    I Would Sign Up Again – Unequally Yoked

    Hello SUMites,  Today I have a question for you. How many times have you set down in church and looked around the sanctuary at the couples seated together, husband and wife, and felt defeated, disappointed, and pain?  I know this place of pain existed in my life for many years.

    What Should I Do?

    Or not do? That’s the flip side of this question. But I’m betting you’re wondering why I’m asking that question. Care to take a walk with me? The longer we walk with God the more aware we become of the unseen. We no longer accept what’s on the surface out of an understanding that there…
