With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Emilie Barnes has some great, but simple suggestions for celebrations, just for you! 

You don't need to spend a lot of money, or make extravagant plans, to express your love to others.  For a really nice celebration just remember (as Emilie says) to KEEP IT SIMPLE! 

Here are a few of her Valentine's ideas:

For a family Valentine's celebration, plan a family fun night at home.  Make a simple dinner, and just enjoy each others company playing board games.  Instead of gifts, agree to make each other Valentine's ...

Whatever your marital status ... God does have a plan for your life. 

But there's no denying that with all the opinions out there on marriage, divorce, and singleness ... knowing what's right, what's wrong, and what's best for Christians can be very confusing.  

That's why this month, John MacArthur examines Scripture to provide us with important Guidelines for Singleness and Marriage.  We'll learn what God's Word says about the path to marriage, divorce and remarriage, the blessings of being single, and yes, dealing with sexual temptation. Encourage your listeners to tune in to "Grace ...
