Boundaries

Christians often focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. Do you have trouble saying no? Can you set limits and still be a loving person? Are you in control of your life? Do people take advantage of you? Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend offer biblically based answers to these tough questions as they show us to set healthy boundaries with our parents, our spouses, our children, our friends and even ourselves.

What Did You Expect? Redeeming The Realities Of Marriage

Marriage, according to Scripture, will always involve two flawed people living with each other in a fallen world but many people enter marriage with far different expectations. These unrealistic expectations often leave you unprepared to handle the realities of day-to-day life. This study looks at six different commitments that give shape and momentum to develop a life-style of a thriving, grace-based marriage in all circumstances and seasons of your relationship.
