Locked-Down Life: It’s Renovation Time
Dear friends, Ann here! Today, as we enter our umpteenth week of staying home I thought I would share a personal story. I think I got an inkling last year about this whole Coronavirus thing, but didn’t understand it. I know a couple of others who had the same thing happen. See what you think…

About Our Homes…The Heavenly Perspective
Hi friends, Ann here. Today I want to share something that God showed me about the homes within this community: the Spiritually Unequal Marriage community. These homes are deeply special to Him, and although they are unconventional in Christian terms, what He showed me is that they ‘sit under an open heaven’. That’s a great…

Let the Fragrance of Worship Fill My House
Hi friends, Ann here! During this time of incubation in my home, I’ve been reflecting on what I’m to focus my energy on. I sense it’s this simple thing: Lock my eyes onto Jesus. As far as I can, I need to fix my eyes firmly on Him, and steadily hold that gaze. This week,…

God Will Ask One Question When You Arrive In Heaven

To Cherish …
Hi friends, Ann here! The other day I noticed something new about marriage in scripture. It was like a big flashing light-bulb going off in my mind, so I thought I’d share it. See what you think of this: In the Bible there are a few key scriptures about marriage, as we know. But what…

SUM Fast Day 3: He Gathers and Covers Us
I would say us SUMites identify strongly as people of covenant. We dig deep to make our marriages great, we’re intentional about staying connected to our spouse, and the whole concept of covenant drives us deeply. Our faith difference necessitates it. This covenant mindset helps us sympathize with Jesus’ covenant that He carried so deeply.…
