One of the primary indicators that a man is leading his family correctly and biblically as a godly husband is whether or not he himself lives a life of submission. First and foremost, this is a life of submission to the Word and the will of Christ. Additionally, he will submit to his elders and Church leadership, […]

How often do you share prayer requests with others? I went to a prayer meeting tonight and I noticed that lately I’m avoiding asking other people to pray for me. Specifically, for the actual things I’m dealing with that are probably in great need of prayer. I’m grateful that the Lord has opened my eyes to
