Be Gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief; my soul and my body also. – Psalm 31:9 In A Godly Man’s Picture, Thomas Watson explains that penitent sorrow is a sign of a godly person. A godly man weeps “for indwelling sin… that he is sometimes… Read More »

Two years ago, I attended New Attitude 2004, a conference for singles of all ages. That year, the topic happened to be relationships. Since then, I have shared those messages with many friends and have seen the fruit of the messages in my own life and in the lives of others. I decided to create… Read More »
