In this episode of In the Meanwhile, we share some meani...

Sadly, we don't have to look too far or too long to witness broken marriages or hear of affairs and inappropriate relationships -- especially in the age of social media and instant news. When this happens, we can remind of ourselves of two universal truths. First, the human heart without God can be a very dark place.

Ever notice in the Bible that Jesus Himself never once named or claimed anything when praying to His Father in Heaven? 

There, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”
