The Importance of Your Choice of Your Life’s Partner
20 years ago today, the greatest thing that ever happened to me next to my salvation was the day my fiancee became my wife. Happy anniversary, Babe!
When men and women are about to be married how much of life then trembles in the balances! Upon the choice of a partner in life the fashion of that life may depend. Whether self or Christ, the world or God, shall be the master-motive of the household, may be decided by the finger which wears the plain gold ring.

Happy Mothers’ Day, Mother of my children!
In Honor of Mothers
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, training them up in God’s fear, minding the house, and making your household a church for God as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.
The Importance of Family
Whether we like it or not, a breakdown in home-life will eventually lead to a breakdown everywhere. This is, surely, the most menacing and dangerous aspect of the state of society at this present time. Once the family idea, the family unit, the family life is broken up – once that goes, soon you will have no other allegiance.
Worship at Home
A family is not born a Church and the little ones born into the family are not born into the Church. They must be born-again before they can be members of the Church—there must have been the work of the Spirit of God in the hearts of the members of the family before they can form a Church in the house.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)

A Happy Family
Happy is that family where the worship of God is constantly and conscientiously maintained.
Marriage and the Gospel
Marriage is not mainly about being or staying in love. It’s mainly about telling the truth with our lives. It’s about portraying something true about Jesus Christ and the way he relates to his people. It’s about showing in real life the glory of the gospel.
John Piper, This Momentary Marriage (Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 2009), 26
Success Begins at Home
To succeed in work but fail at home is to fail completely.

Life Is Worship
