Couple Challenge: Personal Reflection

299

Whenever we speak in haste without taking time to control what we say, we often end up saying things we regret. Pride, dishonesty, envy, gossip, and anger can all cause us to speak in haste. We don’t take the time to consider the impact our words have on others. It’s important to remember that once words leave our mouth, they can never be called back. If you struggle with speaking before thinking, commit to asking God to allow your words to honor Him before you begin to speak…especially when tensions are high.

Do you see a man who speaks too soon? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
— Proverbs 29:20

703194: Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God, Revised and Expanded Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God, Revised and Expanded

By Francis Chan with Danae Yankoski / David C. Cook

Do contemporary believers live the radically committed life Jesus calls his followers to live? In this revised and updated edition of his best-selling wake-up call, Chan challenges church members to take responsibility for their apathy, engage in honest self-examination, and totally surrender to God’s purpose. Includes a new preface by Chan and a new chapter in which he shares about the last five years since Crazy Love‘s first release.

The God of the universe is crazy about you! His love is the most powerful thing in the world and He wants to give it to you, so you can live for Him. If you have made a commitment to follow Christ, then read Crazy Love to be reminded and challenged in your walk. Sharing from his own life struggles and sacrifices, author Francis Chan issues a call for selfless, Christ-like living. Let the love you have received from God impact your life like never before.
