Here's What I'm Reading...
Books Referenced in Why Didn't You Warn Me?
THE FCC REQUIRES THAT I TELL YOU: Some of the books I review here have been received from authors, publishers, or publicists. I receive more books than I can possibly read, and I only review books I've read, so receipt of a book is not guarantee or a review -- or of a positive review. I will generally only review books I believe my readers will enjoy or benefit from. If you're going to purchase a book and would like to help support this ministry, click on the book images and order through my Amazon Affiliate link. Thanks.

Life Transformed – The Importance of Service – Part 5
August 14, 2009 | Comments Off
We saw this principle clearly when we were in leadership in a singles ministry many years ago. There was a clear division between the people who were serving and those who weren’t. Those who served grew spiritually and emotionally, and most of them married within a few years. Those who didn’t serve didn’t grow either spiritually or emotionally, and most of them are still single 30 years later. This wasn’t true of 100 percent of the members, but probably held true for at least 80 percent.
So if you want the people in your group or ministry to grow, encourage service.
