We have one word for love, but Greek has multiple: agape, phileo, storge, and eros. What is the difference between agape and phileo love? What about eros and storge? Read or listen to this chapter from Your Marriage God’s Way to find out:

"What are a few things I love? I love my kids, eating popcorn, and teaching the Bible. Another man might say, “I love my wife, football, and working on my car.” For this man’s wife’s sake, let’s hope he loves his wife differently than he loves football and automobiles. For my kids’ sake, let’s hope I love them differently than I love eating popcorn.
Have you ever noticed that the English word love can be used in a wide variety of ways that fail to distinguish between different shades of meaning? Obviously, the love we have for things we enjoy is different than the love we experience in relationships. Even within our relationships, the kinds of love we experience will vary significantly. We love our parents differently than we love our spouse, and we love our children differently than we love our pastor, fellow church members, or coworkers."

Achan thought his sin was private — that nobody would know and nobody would get hurt. But in Joshua 7, we see that hidden sin always brings painful consequences.
This message reminds us that unconfessed sin affects not only us, but those around us — our families, churches, and communities. Yet through confession and repentance, there’s always mercy and restoration in Christ.

Many people say “I’ve sinned” — but their hearts never change. Balaam’s story reminds us that repentance isn’t just saying the right words; it’s truly turning from sin.
In Numbers 22, Balaam’s lips said, “I have sinned,” but his actions showed otherwise. This message challenges us to examine whether our repentance is genuine or just empty confession.
