title : Bible Verses About Love and Faith: Scriptures for Encouragement, Strength and Devotion
summary : One of the most significant values that the Bible imbibes among Christians is faith. Without faith, the whole foundation of one's beliefs would be shaky at best. Faith is the glue that binds the believers of the Church as it provides every member of the community a common ground - that is, everyone believes on the teaching put forward by the Bible. Hand in hand with faith is love. Christians have been taught to never deny love to anyone who needs it, regardless if the person is a stranger, a friend or even an enemy. Given the sacrifices of the Lord for the rest of mankind, we must strive to keep our faith strong and our love tenacious.

title : Bible Verses for Marriage, Family and Children: Scriptures On What Truly Matters Most
summary : The Bible serves as a constant reminder of the words of God. As we continue with our day to day activities, we are often solely focused on achieving our goal which would lead to our neglect of some of the basic Christian values put forth in the scriptures. While accomplishing great feats reflects a person's determination and willpower, perhaps incorporating the teachings of the Church in our daily endeavors can catapult our triumphs to greater heights. As we deal with our duties everyday, let us not forget to take a moment to look at the world around us and remind ourselves that there are other things in life more significant than yet another notch in the long list of material possessions: our loved ones.
