Often parents communicate most effectively with their children by the way they listen to and address each other. Their conversations showing gentleness and love are heard by our ever-alert, impressionable children.
Marvin J. Ashton
God's love for us is constant and will not diminish, but he cannot rescue us from the painful results that are caused by wrong choices.
Marvin J. Ashton
Lying damages others. Lying subtly permits us to destroy ourselves as we are caught in the snare and shatter our own self-image and credibility. Freedom from deceit and lying improves self and gives all of us peace of mind.
