A Little Marriage Advice

Don’t Do Bad Stuff. Good Stuff is much better.
Today’s word is simple… “Don’t do bad stuff. Do good stuff. Good stuff is better. Man up.” That’s how simple the pastor put it this morning. In 2 Corinthians 13:7-9 Paul simply tells us to: Pray to God. Don’t pray to anything or anyone else. Go directly to God. Don’t...
