My Marriage Is Better, and I Feel Guilty About It
Ron: Yes, Ron, this marriage and family are much better than my first, and I feel guilty about it.

What? I thought there was no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I think we’re all relying on that one. Yes, sin is dark and has consequences in this life. But that doesn’t mean a repentant heart can’t rest in the warmth of God’s mercy and grace. Yes, rest in it. And help others rest in it, too. Shame free. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
