From a Biblical perspective, the purpose of life is not to accomplish our own objectives but to glorify God. Our busy lives tend to direct our thoughts toward ourselves and our family. But as you serve your family, you are serving God.

How important is it to know all the secrets of your spouse's past? Be sensitive and don't force him to share thing he doesn't want to share. If God has forgiven him, allow him to choose the things about which he's willing to share.

You must admit that when your children are born, it greatly affects your marital relationship. Raising your children can become all consuming. Your children and your marriage should both be prioritized, but your marriage should be your main priority.

The boomerang generation - it's when your older children leave but then move back home. This can be very challenging for the parents. Don't be afraid to talk to other parents who can share with you how they were able to handle it.

What is the loving thing to do when your adult child moves back home? Establish time limits to their stay. Formulate a financial agreement. Respect the need for privacy.

Crawford Loritts explains that we will be rewarded in Heaven for the quality of our work, our faithfulness to God and how we overcame evil.  God’s power enables all of us to obtain these rewards.

In Part 2 of “God’s Approval,” Dr. Crawford Loritts continues to look at the message Jesus had for the religious rulers who harassed John the Baptist. Jesus affirmed John’s ministry and challenged the religious elites. This passage marks a pivotal change in the book of Matthew and in the earthly ministry of Jesus.

This is a transition place in Matthew in terms of how Jesus relates to his disciples. They’ve been in the classroom up to this point and now its hands on. This is the time for them to experience being used by God in order to gain confidence and not blow it in the future.  Bottom line to this passage is this: God wants to use us.
