How to Pray during Marital Conflict
Andreas J. Köstenberger, Margaret Elizabeth Köstenberger

Therefore, itâs vital that you put on the whole armor of God, both individually and jointly, and that you regularly pray with and for each other.

[The Joy of Wonder](

[The True Way of Keeping Christmas](
George Whitefield
My dear brethren, let me beg of you to consider, first, that those spend their time aright and truly observe this festival, who spend their hours in reading, praying, and religious conversation. What can we do to employ our time to a more noble purpose, than reading of what our dear Redeemer has done and suffered.

Marshall Segal
Jesus said that some will hear the word of God, âbut as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not matureâ (Luke 8:14).
