S03E003, Handling Divisive Issues, Marriage Matters
In the third episode of this series of Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo take a look at the subject of things that might cause disagreement in our relationships. Let’s face it we can’t always agree on everything and that could mean arguments, heated discussions, or challenging communications.
At times in our marriages, we need to manage our differences in opinions and deal with our different approaches to life. There is probably no end to what we might disagree on and nay include subjects like politics, money, parenting and food choices to name but a few!
This week, Andy B reads finds wisdom to tackle divisive issues and reads:
• Proverbs 20:3
• 2 Timothy 2: 23-24
• James 4:4:1-3
• Ephesians 4:26

#TestimonyTuesday: Panic, Peace and Perfect Timing
Every day is a learning day, and every day God is still very much at work.
Read our latest testimony of God at work today!
Our car broke down. We’ve got a pretty good bus network and timetable. But, daily life – for us – and with no money for repairs, were left stranded for, potentially, several months.
God had other plans!...[READ MORE]...

Our church flooded again😟

@MaryMamuzich @Kruselady @Cherishingsparrows2020 @tanjaostman and all Praying DDians ;
We are expecting a healthy male child for our elder this week! Will you please uphold them in your daily prayers.
These are amazing!!! 8 life hacks from the people at Not The Bee.

Thanks brother Andy. God bless you.
I have a happy spot I can cycle to from our home. It faces the North Sea (UK) so the weather can vary quite a bit!
It's a regular chatting-with-God-place for me.
Today, it was bright and sunny through overcast clouds, with a gentle, warm breeze.
The sea was out today at the beach, but I stand on a small cliff - the sound of the waves crashing on the sand was idyllic.
Blessings y'all

@Berrybunchfamily that's great! I find experientially God does exactly what he says he would do in scripture, that is provide our needs because he had said he would, but it's a greater joy to see it and experience it with our own eyes.
I say that and now it's mine turn. We just had a accident where water overflowed and spilled through the floor down stairs into the below apartments. Oops 😬. We will have to pay so now pray for us! Thanks
Hey up DingDashers
How's people doing today? What you up to? And where in the world (roughly) are you doing it (I totally get security!)?
I'm in the North East of the UK, and catching up on some literature [hand outs] and mail from the past few weeks, and a week a a big Christian convention
My older two boys are at a bible study (called the Alpha Course - originally from the UK and a great way to grasp the basics of the Christian faith, or revisit those basic tenets of our faith, which is why my boys are involved)
My little son is mastering a rubicks cube!

This one comes from Dave from the4points.com
Each week I go round lots of different homes in Toxteth to pray for local families. Last week one lady who was visiting a friend said, “I don’t know if I’m a Christian.”
So I asked her, do you believe that God loves you? She said yes.
Then I asked her, have you ever done anything wrong, the Bible calls this sin. Yes of course, she replied.
Do you believe that Jesus died and rose again, to take away your sin and give you eternal life? Again she replied yes.
Then God prompted me to read, Romans 10:9
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
I explained that she...[READ MORE]...
Praise God!
God bless, dave@the4points.com
@Berrybunchfamily That had to be hard! My then wife and I lost our first child. She was 7 months along in the womb. I saw that she was a beautiful blonde girl who we named Sarah. Looking forward to seeing her in heaven.
S05E072, Strong Wind Warning, Andy B 2 Minute Video
I wonder what stops you from doing the things you’ve set out to do? Even things you enjoy doing.
I wonder what God has called you to do, that you’re too afraid to try doing.
I can promise you only one thing – if God has called you to do something for Him then, with Him, you can’t fail to succeed to accomplish what He will equip you to do.
Just a thought…

S05E070, Under The Surface, Andy B 2 Minute Video
Weeds. They’re such a pain and I’m sure you, like me, have lovingly tended the odd one before we realised it really wasn’t something that deserved our care and attention!
Weeds grow and lie dormant under the surface of the garden just waiting for the right conditions to burst forth and ruin that lovingly weeded piece of garden that we spent hours sorting out.
Because are opportunists. They don’t need much of anything to go wild and create havoc.
We’ve all got weeds in our lives too – they lie under the surface and then suddenly guilt erupts.

Today's Testimony Tuesday post is a recent one for the BerryBunch, and is a reminder for us to all keep on praying.
Keep. On. Praying.
We'd been praying for a good number of years to be able to get our older two boys to some Christian Festivals. All to no avail, however, as we never had the money needed.
Until we did!...[READ MORE]...
