“The mystery of God's providence is a most sublime consideration. It is easy to let our reason run away with itself. It is at a loss when it attempts to search into the eternal decrees of election or the entangled mazes and labyrinths in which the divine providence walks. This knowledge is too wonderful for us. Man can be very confident that God exercises the most accurate providence over him and his affairs. Nothing comes to pass without our heavenly Father. No evil comes to pass without his permissive providence, and no good without his ordaining providence to his own ends.” MenEndsReasonRunningEvilFatherEasyLossWalksWonderfulMysteryDivineExerciseEternalElectionAffairConsiderationHeavenlyRunning AwayAccurateProvidenceSublimeHeavenly FatherLabyrinthDecreeMazesDivine ProvidenceMystery Of God Author:Ezekiel Hopkins

“For most couples who come to me - especially in the aftermath of the revelation of an affair, when they are in a state of crisis and fear the loss of a predictable future - they start to have conversations for the first time about love, sex, monogamy, and marriage. Most couples don't negotiate or don't even converse about any of these things until the crisis of the affair has actually forced them to.
