Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
The Attraction of Gracious Giving
Date:
I never have been able to understand why everyone in the church looks so serious during the offering. Wouldn't it be great if when the offering plates are passed in church next Sunday that instead of grim looks, stoic silence, and soft organ music you heard laughter?
Marital Grace
Date:
Grace releases and affirms. It doesn't smother. Grace values the dignity of individuals. It doesn't destroy. Grace supports and encourages. It isn't jealous or suspicious.

Date:
