Principles - Living Our Priorities

Positive Communication

“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”
~ 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)

This site serves as a platform for others to join in the conversation, share their testimony, and encourage others.

Our desire is to communicate in a positive manner that will build people up while encouraging them to embrace a lifestyle of living God’s priorities.

While we encourage positive communication, any negative, derisive, or profane comments posted on this site will be removed immediately by our media team.

Because our comment section is a public platform, we ask our readers to refrain from posting comments about their personal relationships that may be going through a challenge.

We do believe there are times when people need specific prayers for restoration in their relationships. Therefore, if you have a specific question or prayer request in regards to your relationships, please send a private message by using this form instead of using our comment section of the blog.

We thank you in advance for joining our efforts to encourage one another.
