Welcome to the Jeff Kaven's show where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and

evangelization putting it all together and living as activated disciples.

This is show 378. I need to make a decision. Welcome to the show. Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend this last weekend

and that you had time to get together with your family and perhaps some friends and fellowship.

I'm going to talk about something today that is really important and I think timely,

And I seem to be, this seems to be coming up a lot lately with talking to other friends and

family members and a lot of young couples too are having to make

decisions so this isn't going to be complicated but I and it's certainly not going

to be exhaustive but I do want to share a few principles with you that might help.

As always, I do have scripture verses here and a catechism, yep, I got some paragraphs from the catechism and there's no doubt in my mind that you would love to meditate on certainly scripture and
