Kindness and repentance - a Christian perspective
God showers us with blessings and acts of kindness. How do you respond--do you complain and reject Him? Or do you live a life characterized by gratitude for His kindness?

Woman Power - #2804
The problem is that men just tend to continue this performance thing in their relationships with women, always feeling they have to be strong, together, right, winning.

Making Life an Adventure - #5900
If your life has seemed a little claustrophobic lately, unsatisfying, boring, maybe you've been all wrapped up in yourself, maybe with some reason because of what you've been going through. But you're missing the adventure. You're missing the healing power of getting your eyes off yourself and onto who you can help.

Back In the Ring For Another Round - #5772
Do you make a person feel really important when they're with you, or like they're keeping you from something more important? Do you listen for their heart, not just their words? Do you look for what God seems to be doing in their life and then you affirm it to them? Do you look for their strong points and tell them what you see? By the way, this ministry of encouragement is one anyone can have and it may be just what you need to get you out of your own pit of self-focus and self-pity.
