Why Monday Is Your Most Productive Day Of The Week

“You may be working for the weekend, but when it comes to actually getting work done, Monday is the most productive day, according to a study by Redbooth.

How to Honor Your Parents as a Young Adult

“Young adults are in a transition period of learning and embracing adulthood. For many young adults, college is the time when they will explore all the implications of what it means to be an adult: making their own decisions, facing the consequences of those decisions, opening a checking account and being responsible to earn and spend their own money, making decisions about the jobs or careers they want to have, where they want to live, etc. As they face these decisions, many young adults are eager and excited to begin their post college journeys. Yet this transition period also means the relationship with their parents is transitioning as well. Young adults are now no longer under their parents’ authority but what exactly does this new relationship look like? What does “honor your parents” mean anyway?”

Flashback: Sex on the Silver Screen

If it would be intolerable for you to watch your wife acting out sexual deeds and sexual pleasure with another man, it should be equally intolerable for you to be entertained by watching anyone else simulate those deeds and that pleasure.

The Holy spirit never enters a man and then lets him live like the world. You can be sure of that.
